Punjab National Bank (Delhi) pulled off a narrow 3-2 win against local outfit Union Bank of India for their second win in the Pool 'B' league of the 12th PMC Bank-Guru Tegh Bahadur All India Gold Cup Hockey Championship here today.
Sanjay S scored twice, in the 10th and 66th minutes, and Gagandeep Singh got one in the 60th minute for PNB while UBI reduced the margin through goals from Harjeet Singh in the 23rd minute and Vinit Shetty in the 46th.
In another Pool 'B' encounter, Western Railway put up a solid show to drub Delhi's Comptroller and Auditor General 3-0 to keep their hopes alive of qualifying for the semi-finals from this pool.
Full backs Amit Rohidass, who has been scoring consistently from penalty-corners, converted two more goals from set-pieces in the third and 41st minutes, while teammate Ayyappa scored the third goal to complete the rout.
Western, who have a match in hand against bottom-placed Hockey Bhopal, are topping the pool with seven points from 2 wins and a draw.
For CAG this was their first defeat after two wins against Hockey Bhopal and UBI.
CAG and Punjab National Bank both have 7 points each and they clash in the concluding pool match tomorrow.
