Indian Oil and South Central Railway shared the trophy after heavy rains forced the cancellation of the final of the 13th Guru Tegh Bahadur Hockey tournament yesterday.

The rains rendered the artificial turf at the Mahindra Stadium unfit for play and organisers, Mumbai Hockey Association Limited, had to abandon the match before it could commence.

Indian Oil (Mumbai) had outclassed Punjab Police form Jalandhar, 4-1 while South Central Railway from Secunderabad, got the better of Army XI from Bangalore, 3-2 in the semi-finals.
