Singapore – Triple Crown; Singapore Open 2015 goes to Headhunters/ Elevation
Known as the ‘game of kings” and the “king of games”, Polo is a sport that requires extreme dexterity, chemistry with your stead and a spot of courage.
The TRIPLE CROWN Singapore Open 2015 returned to the Singapore Polo Club from 19th to 24th May 2015. TATA Communications, the leading global provider of a new world of Communications, returned as The Title Sponsor of this prestigious tournament for the fourth consecutive year.
The Singapore Open 2015 is the last of the “ Triple Crown Series ” organized at the Singapore Polo Club. The first took place in March with the Diplomats’ Cup, followed by the second in April with the International ProAm and these have grown into the most important tournament of the season.
The most eagerly awaited final match of the Triple Crown , The Singapore Open 2015 , which saw the final two teams Head Hunters/ Elevation ( led by Satinder Garcha ) and K2 Polo Nirvana ( led by Vinor Kumar ) was a fierce battle from start to finish. Both teams showed their sheer determination, as the riders and ponies jostled for the upper hand for a very close finish.
Waqus Khan of K2 Polo Nirvana received the award as Most Valuable Player, Claudia belonging to Yeo Kuo Lee, was named Best Playing Pony and Lambada belonging to Asa Jumabhoy was the Best Turnout Pony.
Quote from Mr Satinder Gatcha, Captain of Headhunters/ Elevation
It was a good game!
It feels good to win, especially since it’s the first time a Triple Crown was ever won in Singapore. However, if we had lost, we would be happy as both teams played extremely well. We changed the strategy towards the end and we are glad it worked!
Quote from Mr Vinod Kumar, Captain of K2 Polo Nirvana
The game was real close, it could have been won by either team. In the last 15 secs, there was an opportunity and the other team used it to score their final goal. It could have been anyone’s game today.
Congratulations to the winning team! It was well played. They have a strong team, they pulled off a good fight and they played well.
So that’s for the final Tournament in the Triple Crown Series but the polo season continues until November with several exciting tournaments taking place in the coming months.
Watch out for The Barclays Japan Cup 2015 ( 29-30 Aug ) , Ladies International Polo Tournament ( 30 Sept- 4 Oct ) , The Korea Cup 2015 ( 17-18 Oct ) , British Polo Day (31 Oct ), and Melbourne Cup 2015 ( 3 Nov ).
