The polo action continues through the last few weeks of Al Habtoor Polo Resort and Club polo season as the AHPRC League 2021 has declared a new champion.

El Basha Polo faced Tratok-Hesketh at the tournament final and both teams were goal shy until Justo Cuitino scored the first goal for El Basha.

It was a slow second chukker with both teams delivering a goal each by half time.

The penultimate chukker had seen El Basha Polo took off with consecutive goals and closed the chukker with a three-goal advantage.

The Tratok-Hesketh Polo team raced to close in on their opponent in the last minutes of the game with back-to-back goals from Raja Abuljebain and Tomy Iriarte.

The initial lead by El Basha was enough to secure the win at 7 goals to 5.

Earlier, Ed Banner Eve opened the game with a goal at the subsidiary final match between Baylandi Polo and IFZA-Mahra Polo.

Baylandi Polo dominated the first chukker and closed it with 3 goal advantage. The team kept their lead all the way through the fifth chukker and ended the game at 5 goals to 2.
