Last night was the end of what has proved to be a very successful launch of the TURBO Action Polo Event in Durban. The intention of this Tournament was to kick start the upcoming KZN Club Polo season and get the passion for polo back in Durban. By all accounts these objectives were achieved. The event has seen numerous players, that have not played for many years back in the pool and competing. There is also no doubting the social success of the event, with the Clifton bar being packed every Thursday and at times until rather early hours of Friday morning.
A big thank you must go out to Clifton School for the use of their world class facilities, to Clifton Old Boys Union for managing and running the bar, to our refs that assisted throughout the Tournament and then lastly to the players and clubs for their buy in and fantastic support of this event.
Below are the results from last night and final standings. We are looking forward to the start of the Club season and keeping this great momentum going!
