Mar 7
Both games were decided in the last few seconds. In the
1st game RVC-ASC defeated Navy 7.5 - 7. It was a very
close game. Every time one team scored the other one would
score the equalizer. However, in the end RVC-ASC prevailed
and advanced to the final. The second game was again an
exciting one. ARC/Cav A took the lead and looked like they
would easily win the game. Tata fought back brilliantly to
take a 1/2 lead with only about a minute to go in the last
chukkar. However, a last minute foul gave ARC/Cav A a 30
yard penalty which was converted by Vishal Chauhan which won
ARC/Cav A a spot in the final.
