The second chukker saw Kh Nanao grab Khurai Polo Club's lone goal before S Abungcha had his second to put MPSC-C further ahead.
The third chukker was all about S Abungcha scoring twice to further extend the lead before Kh Dinesh made it 7-1 and S Viking then took the honour to chip in the final nail.
The second semi-final match was also a similar outing as TDPA saw off MPSC-B by 8-1 goals thanks to a bulk of four goals by P Ojit.

L Atangba also grabbed his second and the team's last in the 6th minute of the last chukker before H Abungkhuman find the face saving goal off a last ditch effort.
