On September 14, 2018, the Nairobi Polo Club hosted the 6 goals International Tournament, where Samurai's Jadini Nzomo showcased her skills against White Cap Lager.
The Mugs of Mugs Polo Championships served as an ideal platform for Kenya's junior polo team to bond and fine-tune their skills before heading to the Lusaka International Championships in Zambia.
As part of their preparation, the team of five players was divided into two groups, with some players working together to enhance cohesion and others being paired with faster players to improve their agility and speed.
The team, led by 17-year-old international Jadini Nzomo, consisted of Ben Stonewigg (handicap 1), Tom Stonewigg (handicap 0.5), William Millar (handicap 0.5), and reserve player Megan Griffiths.
Three players from the Nyumnyum team, which won the Mugs of Mugs Polo Championships title at the Northern Polo Club in Timau, were William Millar, Tom Stonewigg, and Ben Stonewigg. They achieved this feat by defeating 6-Foot 6-2 in a one-sided match.
Tom Stonewigg scored three goals, while William Millar and Ben Stonewigg contributed two and one goal, respectively. Henry Limb, a handicap 2.5 player, scored a double for 6-Foot.
According to Mugs of Mugs Tournament Director Tiva Gross, the tournament provided the youngsters with an opportunity to showcase their skills and potentially set a positive tone for their performance at the Lusaka Championships.
