Defending champions Air India successfully made it two in a row at the 21st Lal Bahadur Shastri hockey tournament,beating arch-rivals ONGC 4-2 in the final on Saturday. Brinder Lakra scored two goals for the winning side,while Len Aiyappa converted a penalty corner and Yuvraj Walkmiki put the game beyond contention.
For ONGC,it was yet another disappointing year,despite Bikas Toppo keeping his side in contention with a goal half way through the second half. By the time Gurwinder Singh scored off his PC,it was too late. V Raghunath from IOC was the top-scorer of the tournament,while ONGCs Diwakar Ram was adjudged the best player of the tournament.
