The “Home of Peace & Tourism, Jos celebrated one of its grandest moments as polo patrons, players and dignitaries turned up in their droves to celebrate the noble game of kings, with home Boys, Jos Malcomines, Trappco, Nigerian Army and others standing out as the biggest winners of the weeklong fiesta.

Powered by the President of Jos Polo Club, Murtala Laushi, Malcomines warriors extend their supremacy with another emphatic victory, defeating two arch-rivals, Fifth Chukkers and Keffi Ponys in a blistering campaign to clinch the event’s biggest prize, the Governor Cup, to cap a glorious year of victories.

Laushi led Asharaf Yahaya, Fernando Munas and Aliero Aramburo to sweep past arch-rivals to crown a glorious year of victories that started with the Emir of Kano Cup in Kano, the African Patrons Cup in Kaduna, stretching to Yola, Keffi and finally extended their supremacy as the Kings Jos polo before their home fans on Sunday.

The prestigious Jos Winter polo festival lived up to the billing as the Nigerian Army team outpaced the hard-fighting Kano opponents to clinch the glittering President’s Cup for the second year running, just as the Police team finished tops in the race for the coveted NASCO Cup.
