Khalsa FC Jalandhar defeated Khalsa FC Gurdaspur 3-1 to win the inaugural Sabat-Soorat Sikh Football Cup at the Sector 42 Sports Complex here.

Gurdaspur took the lead in 27th minute but Jalandhar levelled the scores 18 minutes later as the two teams entered the break at 1-1.

In the second half, Jalandhar pulled up their socks and struck twice to seal a 3-1 win.

Khalsa FC Jalandhar were awarded Rs 5 lakh, while Khalsa FC Gurdaspur received Rs 3 lakh. Twenty-three teams participated in the tournament which kicked off in Amritsar on January 30.

The championship was organised to mark the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev.

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).
