UP beat Delhi in North Zone final

Less than a week after Uttar Pradesh routed Delhi by a tennis score in the sub-junior national football championship for the Mir Iqbal Hussain trophy,the former put in a match-winning performance again on Monday in the North Zone final. On Wednesday last week,Delhi had fallen to the same opponents 6-1,and on Monday,the scoreline had a more respectable look to it,but the end result was the same. Mohammed Amir Khan proved to be the hero for UP,scoring once in each half (34th and 69th minutes) in the final.

Both UP and Delhi qualified for the final round of the championships to be held at Tau Devi Lal Sports Complex in Gurgaon from December 9.
