Members of the winning St John's team with coach A Harrington and TNCA schools committee chairman Meenakshisundaram.

        A fine all-round display by Shikkar Hukku (a superb knock of 126 and four-wicket haul) helped St John's English School & Junior College (Besant Nagar) seize a narrow one-run win over Vidya Mandir in the final of the TNCA city schools under-13 cricket tournament here recently.

        Batting first, St John's posted a total of 219 in 87.3 overs riding on Shikkar's brilliant 126 while C Asuthosh contributed 39. In reply, Vidya Mandir SSS fell short by a single run as Shikkar (4 for 43) and other bowlers did the damage. Adithya Arun led the way for the losers with a valiant 72.

        Brief scores (final): St John's 219 (Shikkar Hukku 126, C Asuthosh 26) vs Vidya Mandir 218 in 89.1 overs (Adithya Arun 72, S Akshay 31, Anirudh Raghavan 30, S Hukku 4 for 43).
