1. Manchester United

The next morning they returned the circular with their acceptance to the class teacher. The class teacher informed them that the match would be held on 27th April. Finally it was 27th-the day of the match. And the match was to start at 10.30am.
Tom and Jerry packed up their lunch and water bottle and walked to the school. They reached the school and walked to the ground where they thought the match would be held but they did not find anybody there. On inquiring from the guards they learnt that the match would be played in the Senior Block school field. so they walked to the Senior block and found everybody there.
