It was the second time that the Pinoy polo players fell to the Thais, as they hand over the local bets’ first defeat, 4-6 in the preliminary round.

The Pinoys bounce back after winning over Brunei, 10-9, followed by a 8-5 victory over Indonesia, 8 – 5 1/2 entering the semifinals.

This is their first tournament for the national squad since the country’s hosting of the Southeast Asian Games last year where they earned a silver in the 0-2 Goals and a bronze in the 4-6 Goals events.
