“The team is pretty excited although the field is very tough,” said PH team captain Mikee Romero.
Out to spoil the country’s gold medal bid are Brunei, Malaysia and Indonesia.
Romero and company – Coco Garcia, Nicole Eusebio, Jam Eusebio and Santi Juban – have spared no account for this biennial meet, even going to Argentina – the mecca of polo – to train under the supervision of revered polo coaches.
Like the 4-6 goals division, the 0-2 goals event also has a powerful cast with Prince Jeffri and Prince Qawi spearheading the talented Brunei squad.
Both players are members of the royal family – led by Hassanal Bolkiah – Sultan of Brunei.
0-2 goals will be played at the class Miguel Romero Polo Field Tuesday.
