No fewer than 10 polo teams took part in the maiden edition of the NSK Polo Tournament which galloped off on Friday and ended on Sunday in Argungu, Kebbi State.
The participating teams competed for various cups donated and sponsored by government bodies, corporate organisations and individuals during the event among which were the Governor’s Cup in honour of the Governor of Kebbi State, the Shehu Kangiwa Cup in memory of the late former Governor of Sokoto State, the Sultan Cup (for veterans), Emir’s Cup, Umaru Shinkafi Cup, Muhammadu Mera Cup, J.B Yakubu Cup and the Mutawalen Sokoto Cup (for beginners).
Bauchi Dokaji Farms emerged winners of the Governor’s Cup after beating Titan/H. Hago 7-5 in the pulsating final match. Bauchi Dokaji whipped Argungu NSK Farms 7-31/2 on Saturday, while Titan/H.Hago beat Keffi Iyatu Farms 4-31/2 to set up a mouth-watering final.
