Santosh Trophy: A bunch of fighters from Lakshadweep

The Hindu  

Milton Antony has never been to Lakshadweep and the three weeks he has been in charge of the islands' football team are clearly not enough to bring about a magical transformation. Lakshadweep plays Kerala in the Santosh Trophy's South Zone qualfiers which begin at the Nehru Stadium here on Wednesday and Antony is confident of one thing. “They may not be much individually, they don't have any outstanding players, but they are capable of doing well collectively,” said Antony, the Lakshadweep coach who hails from Ernakulam, in a chat with Sportstar. “They have good fighting spirit, so we can't say what will happen.” The Lakshadweep men, who made their Santosh Trophy debut in 2016-17, may not stand a chance against Kerala but they have a big goal before them. They want to be an inspiration for the youngsters back home,” said Antony, a former assistant coach of the Kerala Santosh Trophy team.
