Ahmed Ali Tiwana steered Pessi to victory in the final of the Seasons Canola Polo Cup at the Lahore Polo Club here on Sunday. In the match for the third position, Shah Qublai Alam earned Uniwear third place in the event. Excelling in front of the cheering Sunday gathering and watching chief guest MNA Syed Samsam Ali Shah Bukhari who later gave the trophies and other prizes to the participants, Pessi hit seven goals against five by Adisseo. With Moin Yaqub opening the account for Pessi, it was Ahmed Ali Tiwana who hit six goals to make the win look easy which was by no means a smooth sailing.
Pessi had to fight all ends up and Ahmed Ali Tiwana with his superlative performance was also named the Man of the Match. The winners faced tough resistance when every time they ride to their rivals danger zone, Bilal Haye responded with grit and in the process he hit five goals, all that were scored by the losing team. In the subsidiary final, Uniwear beat Security 2000 by 6 to 5-½. Shah Qubilai Alam began to hit hard and got four goals while Zain Khan Khakwani and Sufi Muhammad Haroon shared one goal each for the winners. Shaukat Ali Malik and Bilal Hayat Noon did try to repair the damage done by Qublai but they could get two goals each while Mian Khurram Munir scored one for a losing cause. Omar Asjad Malhi, Agha Murtaza Ali Khan, Shah Qublai Alam and Zain Khan Khakwani supervised the matches.
