Bangalore: The Andhra Pradesh under-19 team lifted the South Zone league championship recently held at Tirupathi. Andhra remained unbeaten to top the table while Tamil Nadu took the second spot. The once mighty Karnataka had to settle for the third spot thereby failing to qualify for the Nationals.
