MARGAO
Bardez Veterans got the better of Fatorda Veterans 3-1 to seal their berth in the final at Dr Gustavo Monteiro ground, Candolim, on Thursday.
Gavin Araujo gave Bardez a dream start with a quick brace in the 4th and 6th minutes. Fatorda were rattled but still tried to fight their way back. They were awarded a lifeline in the 37th minute when they earned a penalty and Vishant Pednekar made no mistake from the spot kick. But Shailesh Misquin scored the third for Bardez in the second half and it was enough to seal their berth in the final which will be played on Sunday.
Fatorda’s Uday Naik was adjudged Man-of-the-Match.
