Bombay Bombers win Goa Super Sixes tourney
MUMBAI:The Bombay Bombers (Percept Ltd) won the coveted ‘Goa Super Sixes‘ tournament beating Future Kings (Future Group) in the ‘Goa Super Sixes‘ tournament organised by Percept Ltd at Taj Exotica, Goa recently.
In the grand finale of the 5 overs a side match, Bombay Bombers put up a massive score of 86 runs in reply to which Future Kings could manage to make only 36 runs thus losing to the host team.

Wassan had three big hits to the fence and was joined by Shailendra Singh who scored 18 runs off 8 balls with 3 sixes. Aditya Motwane compounded Future King‘s misery by scoring a solid 20 in the end to help Bombay Bombers pile up a huge total.
Future Kings started on a disastrous note by losing quick wickets. Only Sandeep Patil managed to bring some respectability to the Future King‘s innings by scoring16 runs.
Ali Quli and Harindra Singh demolished Future King‘ batting order with each picking up 2 wickets to give the inaugural GSS Cup 2009 to the Bombay Bombers.
Top corporates from across India like Future Group (Future Kings), Bharti Teleservices (Delhi Devils), Ghodawat Group (Ghodawat Stars), Indian Television Academy (ITA Tigers), Maru Group (Cornish Pirates), Pinc Group (Pinc Panthers) and Percept Limited (Bombay Bombers) participated in the tournament.

Ashish Limaye bags gold and bronze at Montelibretti 2026 event
Indian rider shines in Italy, gains ground ahead of higher-level tests
MUMBAI: Ashish Limaye delivered a strong performance on the international stage, clinching both gold and bronze at the FEI Eventing Competition Montelibretti 2026 held in Italy earlier this month.
Competing against riders from across the globe, Limaye secured the top podium finish in the CCI 2 Long Format riding Easy Turn, registering a score of 30.2 in a field that featured participants from five nations. He followed it up with a bronze medal in the CCI 2 Short Format aboard Willy Be Dun, scoring 32 in a much larger and highly competitive pool of 66 riders representing nine countries.
Reflecting on the outing, Fédération Equestre Internationale event rider Ashish Limaye said, “Riding at Montelibretti was amazing. To compete with such talented riders from around the world was fantastic. I’m really happy with the results and the effort our team has put in.”
Beyond the podium finishes, Limaye also achieved a milestone result on D’Avril du Pinier, earning a Minimum Eligibility Requirement, bringing him closer to qualifying for the FEI World Equestrian Games.
While the Montelibretti competition was not a direct qualifier for major multi-sport events, it serves as a crucial stepping stone as Limaye prepares to move up to the more demanding CCI 3 level.
With momentum firmly on his side, the Indian rider now looks set to build on this success as he targets bigger stages in the global equestrian circuit.
