Anjuman Matriculation H.S.S. romped to the U-13 BOOST-Chennaiyin FC Football Championship title with a 9-0 win over St. Patrick's High School. Hat-tricks from Al Qamar and Umar Farooq along with goals from Md. Rasheed, Hayath Basha and Toufeeq Ahmed saw Anjuman outclass St. Patrick's in what was a one-sided final.

In the U-15 category, Jeppiaar Matriculation H.S.S. blanked Vidya Mandir 8-0 in what was another one-sided encounter. The U-15 final too witnessed two hat-tricks, from Sriram and Jebarson, while Gabriel pitched in with a double.
