Imphal, March 28, 2014:
khurai Polo Club cruised into the title round of the 4th 57 Mountain Division Polo Tournament with a 5-3 defeat of Manipur Police Sports Club at Imphal Pologround today.
Inspite of an evenly contested match in the first semifinal, L Thomson's hattrick ensured the Khurai side sealed its place in the final, where it will play the winner of tomorrow's second semifinal between Tekcham Polo Club-A and MPSC-B. Thomson's brace and one by P Ojit put KPC 3-0 ahead in the opening minutes of the first chukker before S Bimol pulled back one for the police side late in the same session.
Ojit regained the advantage with his second of the match in the second chukker while S Somorjit responded for MPSC.
Thomson, however, struck again in the penultimate chukker to pave the way for KPC's passage into the summit round as Bimol's second goal of the match in the same session was not enough to foil the rivals' progress.
