Eight goals, eight assists — and the title.
A one-day title on turf, barely two kilometres from home. Vicky FA won all three — 10–1, 7–0, and an 8–0 final — and Avyaan was involved in almost everything: eight goals, eight assists, and a goal in every game.
Goals and assists are family-recorded from match reports, video and observation — grassroots tournaments don’t keep official stats. How we keep the record.

Another day out, this one the closest we’ve played — barely two kilometres from home. Like the Decathlon cup a day earlier, it was really about going out and enjoying football, and the opposition wasn’t much of a test.
But that’s a lesson of its own: even against easy-going opponents, you still have to play well to lift a trophy. Tournaments like these are where the habit of winning gets built — and a chance to experience football right in the neighbourhood.
Avyaan was, simply, fantastic — a goal contribution in every game, and a goal in every match he played. After titles like the DPDL, this is the level you come to expect of him. Eight goals, eight assists, and a very happy group at the final whistle.
