AD Jogo Clinches Victory in Thrilling KLPC Triple Crown 2025 Part 1 Final
The first instalment of the KLPC Triple Crown 2025, that ran from Thursday 17th April to Saturday 26th April, concluded in spectacular fashion, delivering a Finals Day packed full of fast-paced action, exceptional horsemanship and nail-biting finishes.
In a fiercely contested Grand Final, AD Jogo emerged victorious, edging out KLAP with a hard-fought 9-8 win. The match kept spectators on the edge of their seats, with momentum swinging back and forth until the very last minute. In the final minute, AD Jogo equalised the score at 8-8, and in the final seconds, KLAP gave away a foul, and it was AD Jogo’s composure under pressure that sealed their triumph and crowned them champions of Part 1 of the Triple Crown. Both teams featured incredible performances both by the two anchors – Ismael Yontob hailing from Argentina for AD Jogo, and Musa Khan from the Pakistan for KLAP – and their teams.
The Subsidiary Final proved just as exciting, with WINDHORSE overcoming a determined La Muda Familia side. In another close contest, Windhorse held their nerve to secure a 7-6.5 victory. This match was also nail-biting from start to finish. The teams were neck to neck through the match, with La Muda Familia edging to a half goal lead near the end of the fourth chukka. In the final minute of the match, La Muda Familia gave away a 60-yarder to Windhorse, and in an incredible clutch play, Amran Selamat sent a sailing, unstoppable ball through the goalposts to clinch victory for the Windhorse side.
Individual accolades highlighted standout performances across the tournament. Musa Khan, who made his debut trip to Kuala Lumpur to represent KLAP, was named Most Valuable Player, impressing with his dynamic play and tactical brilliance throughout the competition.
Meanwhile, the Best Playing Pony award went to the outstanding Amazona, owned by Hafiz Jamaluddin and played superbly by Ismael Yontob. Amazona’s speed, agility and responsiveness were key ingredients that captivated the crowd and contributed to many memorable plays.
With Part 1 of the Triple Crown now complete, anticipation is already building for Part 2, as teams gear up to continue their battle for 2025 supremacy at the Kuala Lumpur Polo Club. The KLPC Triple Crown Part 2 runs from 2nd to 15th June 2025.
