The other key contributors from the winning side were Ahmed Ali Tiwana and Baber Naseem, who converted two and one goal respectively.
Team Kalabagh/Shahtaj, which played superbly throughout the tournament and recorded very convincing victories before reaching the main final, couldn’t resist the pace and venom of Team BN Polo, thus losing the main final by 3-7. Foreign player Guy Gibrat succeeded in converting two goals while the remaining one was slammed in by Asfandyar Khan.

Speaking on the occasion, player of the final Eulogio said: “Our team worked really hard and played like a unit that helped us win the final and prestigious title. Last week, we played the subsidiary final and won it. We are committed to continue our good show in upcoming events and try to win more for our team. I am also very pleased to come and play at Islamabad Club Polo Ground, which is one of the best polo grounds of the world.”
