The King of Sports Shows Top-Class Unity at the Peak of Intensity
Reported by Anabel Enahoro
Day 5 of the NPA Ibadan International Polo Tournament got its share of intensity by bringing two matches displaying top-class performance from different riders from different regions.
The opening match, The Professor Jide Owoeye Cup which hosted veterans and beginners from different clubs, was played to bring unity to the sport.
Team A captained by the Queen of Polo, Natalie Alan was unstoppable against Team B capped by the polo veteran Usman Anderson. As they were humbled to a 7-1 win to lift the cup.
Match 2 saw two well-matched sides consisting of Diego White from Argentina, Ahmed Umar AKA Cambiasso, Achraf Yahaya and the patron of the team Kayinsola Owoeye representing Ibadan Lead City Group Daisy 1 while the Lagos A1/A+ has Olumide Agboola, Abdulrahman Mohammed, Dantala Ibrahim (Dante of Africa) and Kwame Issa Gilbert with team Lagos starting the match with a handicap of 1.5 goals
Spectators witnessed a match that came with several emotional triggers as penalties were converted through different chukkers but Lead City Group Daisy made sure to keep their heads intact despite how hard Lagos A1/A+ kept pushing with Ahmed Umar converting a 60-yard penalty and Diego converting in Chukker number 4 to give Lead City Group Daisy a close 8-7.5 win after 5 chukkers.
