Winning and losing have always been two sides of the same coin, but above all, participation in an event makes a real difference. Dalapchand SS does not have its own school grounds, even though the students of this school try their best to practice football at a helipad nearby. You heard it right at a helipad used for landing helicopters most frequently during the Lampokhari festival. The Dalapchand boys love playing football, and we can see them busy in the early hours of the morning and late noon after school.
Interestingly, our team's chief coach is a driver by profession who is also the President of a Sports Club by interest.
The ongoing Coca-Cola Cup played at Paljor Stadium, Gangtok was the first of its experience for our boys to play the big game, and I am sure they came all the way to Gangtok just to enjoy the game. The boys were happy to have set foot on Paljor Stadium, the Mecca for all football lovers of our Hills. Our boys lost the match with four goals to one but have earned themselves a lifetime experience. They would share an experience with their close ones for a long time.
Yuvraj Rai, our main striker, scored the lone goal for our team, and he must be the happiest after all. How many of us were there who had played at Paljor Stadium and scored a goal? Truly, his goal was magic to watch and more magical for the team that practices on a helipad made of….. alakatra (tar).
