Habtoor and Bin Drai qualified to the championship match of the Al Habtoor Polo Club March League, that is underway at Al Habtoor Resort & Polo Club, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. In the semifinals, that were played on Thursday March 30, Habtoor remained undefeated and dominated the match and the scoreboard to claim a 6-3 win over El Basha Polo, who weren’t able to find the flags during three chukkas. The follow-up was a complete different story – Bin Drai and AM Polo played a very close contest that was decided in the fourth and last chukka when the former secured a narrow 7-6 victory. The tournament sees four teams up to 6 goals, in participation.
Habtoor and Bin Drai will clash for the title on Saturday April 1.
