The match was a lively affair right through. Both sides had an equal share of exchanges as well as scoring chances, but poor marksmanship proved to be their undoing.

Just when the match seemed to be heading for a draw, UBI's Bhosle came up with the match-winner. His direct hit from a penalty-corner completely deceived CBI goalkeeper Douglas Rodrigues. With this win, UBI boosted their title hopes.

In the other game of the same competition, league leaders Sports Authority of India (SAI) thrashed Khalsa Gymkhana 11-1 after leading 3-0 at the interval.

SAI's spearhead and Bombay Junior National star Asad Khan pumped in four goals including a hat-trick. Premkumar Singh (3), Brijesh Singh (2), JS Cheema and Gurmit Singh Rao were the otherscorers. Aditya Menon netted a stroke for Khalsa to reduce the margin.
