   ‘PROUD TO PLAY SQUASH’
(ARTICLE IN MID DAY 26, FEB) 

From now on Rizvi springfield’s (Bandra) Rahil Fazelbhoy will proudly say that he plays squash. Yesterdays he clinched the boys’ U-13 title of the MSSA inter-school squash tournament at Bombay Gymkhana squash courts. It was also his maiden title.

Rahil’s school friends always teased him about playing squash. “My friends bugged me a lot that I play squash. I did not like that but I couldn’t leave squash. So I used to hide from them that I still play,” Rahil told MID DAY.

But all that has changed after his thrilling 3-2 win against Vrishab Kotian of Don Bosco (Borivali). “Now I will proudly say that I play squash because now I have won the first title of my life,” said Rahil after he won 11-8, 8-11, 9-11, 11-8, 11-8. 

Rahil is one of the few from his school to pursue squash seriously. “Everybody in my school wants to play cricket because they have won many tournaments. But I was not interested in it. I wanted to do something else. So I chose squash. My teachers encourage me but not my friends. I want their support just like other players get here,” he said.
