Having lost the final in the last two seasons of HIL, Sardara Singh's team Jaypee Punjab Warriors finally struck gold to become third-time lucky and clinched the Hockey India League 2016 (HIL) title in the fourth edition of the six-team tournament at the Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium on Sunday. The Chandigarh-based outfit beat Kalinga Lancers 6-1 in the summit clash where Armaan Qureshi, Matt Gohdes and Satbir Singh scored a field goal each for the Warriors. Skipper Moritz Fuerste scored the Lancers' lone goal of the match, coming in a penalty corner. The unique feature of the tournament was that each field goal counted for two.
