NEW DELHI, AUG. 22. Inside-left Fiaz Alam's hat-trick spurred Hindustan Club to a 4-0 win over last year's runner-up Tarun Sangha in a DSA annual senior division league match at the Nehru stadium here on Sunday.

Alam struck in the 15th, 47th and 69th minutes before Lagun (71st) completed the tally.

In other action, former champion Indian National defeated City Club with Turey Singh scoring off a penalty kick in the 60th minute. Striker Manjit Singh scored from outside the box in the 69th minute.

At the Ambedkar stadium, Collegians edged out formidable Indian Air Force (IAF) 2-1. Bhola Biswas put Collegians ahead in the 24th minute before Sanjay Nayak made it 2-0 in the 42nd minute. Feroz netted for IAF in the 45th minute but that was all the Airmen could offer.
