Picking up where they left off in chukka 2 with a score of 2-3, Valiente were quick to pile on the pressure but The Dutta Corp were able to equalise bringing the score to 3-3. Valiente were having none of it however and going into the final chukka it looked like an easy win for the boys in white with, highest scorer of the season so far, Paquito de Narvaez deadly from the penalty line. But it wasn’t over yet and The Dutta Corp went for a final push to bring themselves within a single goal of Valiente’s 9 goals. They were unable to equalise however, as the final whistle blew on a 9-8 goal result seeing Valiente remain unbeaten while The Dutta Corp take a second loss to just one win.
