LAHORE - Pakistan International Airlines successfully defended its National Hockey Championship title here Sunday on a better goal average after their final encounter with another points table leader National Bank ended in a one-all stalemate here at the National Hockey Stadium. Wapda secured third position while Pakistan Air Force topped the Tray Championship while Fair Play Trophy went to Punjab. Watched by District Nasim Miam Amer Mahmood, Pakistan Hockey Federation president Qasim Zia, secretary Asif Bajwa and other lovers of the game, both the teams played a tight game leaving little room for their rival forwards to penetrate through their defences. They had a barren first half despite several attacks from the either sides and the half of the second session also remained goal less. However, NBP's Mohammad Ateeq provided lead to his team on a penalty corner in the 41st minute of the game that ignited burly attacks from PIA and by the 59th minutes their forwards succeeded in getting a penalty corner that was successfully converted by PIA's Dilawar Hussain to bring his team on level terms. After that there were several serious attempts but their forwards line-up and the man under the bars stood in between those attacks like a concrete wall. Thus going even on points table with 22 points, PIA was lucky to have a better goal average to lay its hands on the championship trophy yet again in a perfect defence. Chief Guest District Nazim Lahore Mian Amir Mehmood distributed the trophies among the winning and runner up teams. Speaking on the occasion he offered his sponsorship for the two PHF Hockey of Lahore. In another three matches of the final day, Wapda beat Army, Navy beat Port Qasim and Punjab moved past Railways.
