Kolkata, May 8 (IBNS): City based South Point High School (SPHS)  dominated the show as  their Senior Girls  team  entered  the quarter finals of the 46th K C Mahindra All india Invitation School Regatta being organized by Lake Club on Rabinndra Sarovar here Tuesday. South Point Senior Girls , who  beat La Martiniere , also from Kolkata in the first of their league matches  on Monday,  produced another good show this day  to beat  St. Thomas easily to reach the quarter final

In the senior girls division SPHS apart, Sushila Birla, Ballygunge Siksha Sadan G D Birla and Delhi Public School also rowed well  to win a race each, 

Inspired with their Girl s team’s performance , South Point Senior Boys also excelled today to win their races against Hirendra Leela Patranabis  School and St. Agustine comfortably and assured their berth in the last eight stage. They beat La Martiniere Boys and Khalsa English school on Monday.

Along with  South Point, last year’s title holders in Senior Boys , D A V school from Chndigarh almost made certain of their entry into the knock-out stage  as they won all the three league  races they rowed till now. After defeating National High School West Bengal and Patha Bhavan yesterday,  Chandigarh boys exerted little to  beat St. James today.

In  the Junior Boys section  both  “A” and “B” teams from Jatragachi Pranavananda High School and National High School West Bengal     did  well so far  and are likely to  reach the quarter finals of the meet comfortably.  It is indeed creditable for the Jatragachi Boys, most of whom are from  economically weaker section in rural  areas,  to prove their might in this  water sport, which is mostly dominated by the youths from affluent  society or military or paramilitary  back ground. Jatragachi boys are title holders in the junior boys section last year.

Former champions  La Martiniere and Modern High School along with Sushila Birla and National High School In  the –CBSE “B” , all are strong contenders for the title in the junior girls section this time. They have won their respective races  in this regatta so far and are expected to make the last eight grade this time .  (EOM)
