Patiala: Punjab Police, Jalandhar, defeated EME, Jalandhar, 6-4 in a nail-biting match to win the 36th Liberals All-India hockey tournament that concluded at Nabha today. The teams were tied 2-2 in the scheduled time but the Punjab Police lads displayed fine skills during the tie-breaker, which brought the curtains down for EME.
The policemen opened their account in the 18th minute when inside-left Amit Sandhu collected a clean centre from right-winger Prabhjeet Singh and placed the ball into the net before goalkeeper Anil could react. The policemen held a slight edge in their attacking line and made quick forays into the EME territory but could not increase their lead due to solid defence put up by the Army outfit. There was no further score till the half-time.
