What a tournament! There was good polo that climaxed with a penalty shoot-out. It created bonds of friendship that will last forever, and set a record that stands in the Malaysia Book of Records.
It went to a penalty shoot-out to decide the winners, after three teams were tied for points on 3 wins and a loss.
