Chandigarh, April 4

AG Haryana defeated AG Delhi 2-1 in the final of the All-India Inter-Zonal (IA&AD) Hockey Tournament at the Sector 42 Sports Complex here today.

The Delhi outfit scored the first goal through a penalty corner. Nitin Mukesh Tigga sounded the wooden plank in the 14th minute of the play. Trailing by a goal, Haryana made repeated attacks into the Delhi citadel. Their perseverance finally paid off when Sarabjit Singh scored a classic field goal in the 22nd minute of the match to level the scores. The winning goal was scored by Gaurav Tokhi through a penalty corner.

Sukhbir Singh Gill, former Hockey Olympian, gave away prizes to the winners and runners-up. Nazli J Shayin, Accountant General (A&E), Haryana, congratulated the finalists. —

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
