Chandigarh, October 28: Hunting Hawks and Sultans of Swing will battle for the championship title in the final of the GB Realty Chandigarh Golf League 2026 at The Chandigarh Golf Club on Friday, October 30. Sultans of Swing edged defending champions The Mulligans 4–3 in Wednesday’s semi-final, reversing last year’s result at the same stage, while Hunting Hawks delivered a convincing 4.5–2.5 victory over Pirates of the Greens.
The results set up a title clash between the top two teams from the round-robin stage. Third-seeded The Mulligans and fourth-seeded Pirates of the Greens will meet in the third/fourth-place classification match.
Sultans of Swing ended The Mulligans’ six-match winning streak and brought their title defence to a close. A strong showing in the singles laid the foundation for Sultans, while two closely contested pairs matches ultimately proved decisive.
Sampat Singh opened with a convincing 4&2 singles victory, while Feroz Singh Garewal faced a much tighter contest against Dr. Angad Sangha. Garewal won the 17th hole and halved the last to finish 1 Up, giving Sultans both singles points.
The Mulligans responded strongly in the pairs. Captain Bismad Singh and Jaskeerat Kaur Matharoo secured a 5&4 win, Gauhar Singh Pruthi and Inderbir Singh Alag added a 2&1 victory, and Jaspreet Singh Sokhi’s pairing contributed a 4&2 result to keep the defending champions firmly in contention.
Sultans found the crucial points through two contrasting pairs performances. Dilsher Sukhija and Surinder Jit Singh made an explosive start, winning the opening six holes before closing out a commanding 7&5 victory.
The decisive moment came in the contest between Rabbin Saini and Jitendra Singh and The Mulligans’ A P S Kahai and Sunder Singh. With the match finely balanced through a series of halved holes late in the game, the Sultans pairing held firm and won the 18th to finish 1 Up. That narrow victory secured the 4–3 team result and sent Sultans into the final, overcoming the side that had eliminated them at the same stage last year.
Hunting Hawks took a different route against Pirates of the Greens, recovering from a singles deficit by winning four of the five pairs matches.
Amarinder Brar gave Pirates an early boost with a 4&2 singles victory, while Arav Singh Dagar and K Raghav Bhandari halved their encounter. Pirates therefore held a 1.5–0.5 advantage after the singles.
The Hawks responded emphatically in the pairs. Rohit Singh Dagar and Kulwaran Singh produced the biggest winning margin with a 7&6 victory. Vinay S Bhan and Gursimrat Singh Jawandha added a 4&3 win, while Col. A S Sekhon and Krishna Kaila secured a convincing 5&4 result.
Kulvinder Singh and Sukhdev Singh Sidhu matched that 5&4 margin to complete Hunting Hawks’ four pairs victories and take their team tally to 4.5 points.
Pirates’ only pairs point came through Amandeep Bath and Paramjit Singh, who won 3&2. However, Hunting Hawks’ strength across the remaining matches proved decisive, earning them a place in the championship final.
The two finalists arrive after contrasting knockout journeys. Hunting Hawks topped the round-robin standings with 26.5 points and needed a three-hole playoff to overcome Moksha Royals in the quarter-finals before defeating Pirates. Sultans of Swing finished second with 24.5 points, beat Golf Masters in the quarter-finals and then ended the defending champions’ campaign in the last four.
Both teams now face one final hurdle on Friday, with a CGL title at stake in their first-ever final appearance.
