It was this legacy of his family which Zubair Ansari carried along with him when he ultimately appeared for the National Level Shooting Ball Championship at Shirud representing Maharashtra along with Zahid Akhter and Ziya Nisar, whose uncle Ayyub Ansari also being a prominent player of the game, from Malegaon. And eventually when they turned victor and became National Champions, it was as if, the dream which his grandfather must had seen even before his birth came true.
The final match was played on April 23, a day before the scheduled date. The day will be remembered in the history of Malegaon for years to come when its three great sons represented Maharashtra in the finals and won the under 19 National School Games Shooting Ball Championship against Karnataka. Malegaon shared the honor with Sholapur which also contributed with three players to represent the state. The championship was held at New English School Ground, Shirud in Pune during April 22 and April 24 2007.
It was the second National Level Shooting Ball Championship and fourteen states were invited but only five states - Maharashtra, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi and Karnataka finally turned up for this National Level competition. Jammu & Kashmir was not fortunate enough to play the games since they arrived after the lots were drawn for the matches on 20th April.
Earlier Maharashtra defeated the four competing states in the league matches, defeated the defending champion Punjab in Semi Finals and finally overpowered Karnataka in the finals. During the journey towards this phenomenal victory they created yet another history when Maharashtra became the National Champs without loosing a single match in the whole tournament.
What a better gift one could have expected from these young champs than making Maharashtra a National Champion at a time when we were gearing up to celebrate the Maharashtra Day on May 1.
