Depleted Dempo made light of the absence of stars like Camilo Gonsalves, David D’Souza, Mahesh Lotlikar and Alex Miranda due to injuries, to upset local champions Jammu and Kashmir Police 3-1 in the final. The hosts took an early lead in the second session but Mauricio Afonso helped restore parity while Francis D’Souza and Lector Mascarenhas sealed the issue.
