It was the four goal spree in the 2nd chukker of the match between Meiraba Polo Club and Chingkheihunba Polo Club-A, which decided the match in favour of the latter in the 30th State Level Polo Tournament being played at Mapal Kangjeibung today.
In the first match of the day, Meiraba Polo Club shot into the lead with M Bono sounding the board, with no reply from Chingkheihunba.
However things took a totally different turn when Chingkheihunba Polo Club found the target four times in the second chukker, leaving the players of Meiraba flustered and totally lost.
The goals came from Y Ronel, Th Kaoba, L Alangba and O Roger.

In reply Meiraba PC scored one goal through Kh Nanao.
Down by two goals to seven, Meiraba PC went all out in the fourth chukker and managed to sound the board three times through Th Pureiromba, M Bono and K Romeo, with Chingkheihunba unable to score.
The defence line of Chingkheihunba did well to withstand the relentless attacks and did not concede further goals to emerge the winner by a margin of 7 goals to 5 in an exciting match.
In the second match of the day, Khurai Polo Club had it rather easy as they despatched Thoubal District Polo Club by a margin of 5 goals to two.
The team from Thoubal failed to recover from the mauling it received in the 1st chukker with Khurai Polo Club sounding the board thrice through L Thompson, P Ojit and P Jyotin, while Thoubal District Polo Club failed to score even once.
