Dempo SC won a dramatic final against Tata SC to become the first Goan club to win the prestigious tournament. Tatas were leading 1-0 in the first clash which was abandoned due to crowd violence after Dempo’s equaliser was disallowed for offside. The Goans then won the replayed final 1-0. Striker Francis D’Souza earned a late penalty and K Williams made no mistake from the spot. Captain Ramesh Redkar did the honours of collecting the glittering trophy.
