NEW DELHI: Sarwan Singh struck twice as DAV College, Jalandhar, outplayed Jawaharlal Nehru College, Bhopal, 3-0 in the final of the SAIL 14th Nehru Champion Colleges hockey tournament at the Shivaji Stadium here on Saturday.

After Rahul Bhardwaj had put the Jalandhar team ahead by a goal in the 32nd minute capitalising on the pass from Gurdeep Singh, Sarwan consolidated the position with two goals in the first 15 minutes of the second half.
