Jawad helps polo team to victory

Published November 22, 2006

LAHORE, Nov 21: Three goals including the decider by Jawad Jamil Malik supported by 1-1/2 goal handicap helped Haseeb's Own turn the tables over Millat Tractors with a 6 1/2-5 win in the Future Concern polo cup on Tuesday.

The winners led the first chukker 2 1/2-2, mainly by virtue of their handicap as two-goal Abdul Haseeb Mehta scored his first. Ahmad Nawaz Tiwana fired two for Millat Tractors to reduce the margin.

Millat Tractors surged ahead in the second chukker 4- 2 1/2 as Ahmad Nawaz struck his third and Kamran Nooruddin chipped in with a goal.

In the action-packed third chukker Haseeb's Own regained the lead (5 1/2-5) through Jawad who banged home two and Haseeb, who struck his second. Ahmad Nawaz contributed his fourth goal for the losers.

In the fourth chukker Jawad banged home his third goal to complete the tally.

Three goals each by Ahmad Ali Tiwana and Junaid enabled Aptex to outclass Guard Filters 8-3. Mohsin Kamal added two for the winners.

For the losers, Saeed Alam Khan (2) and Taimur Ali Malik (1) were the scorers.
