thx but the file might contains a reference of word Sports anywhere so that command showed me all the files which ever contained the word sports irrespective of where the word is present.
the only unique reference is when sports is within <cats>
I just wanted to see the files which contains word withing <cats>

This seems to answer your request, if I understood what you want to get, ie only the name of the files with the pattern :
<cats> immediately followed on the next line by the word Sports.
