The match started with team Navy getting an advantage of 4 goals according to the rules of Polo. This match started but in no time Lt Cdr K Rathee had a fall from his pony. Fortunately, both the player and the pony were safe and healthy. The match resumed soon after the change of the pony, after which both the teams got into action, and with Col. Ravi Rathore securing the first goal of the match, the field had the game rolling in. This was followed by Lt Col Vishal Chauhan’s attempt for the second goal but team Navy saved it well, but not close enough to stop Col Ravi Rathore from taking the chance and scoring the second goal.
