The first match between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka in the on-going blind football championship for women may have ended in a draw. But it had everything written in its favour
“Naagalum aaduvom, vendrae kaatuvom, vizhil oli illamal, saathithae magizhuvum (We will conquer even without the light).”
This team song echoed in the lush green grounds of Chennai’s Montfort School, signalling the announcement of the recently-concluded football match between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.
This was not your regular game: passionately driven by the Tamil Nadu National Blind Football Association, it was the first national tournament for women and the fifth for men. “It is a matter of pride to host it,” says KK Thomas, principal of Montfort School.
