In the second week of the 2023/2024 Nairobi Polo Club season, SMB Bank won two matches for a total of four points to lift the Turkey Cup on Boxing Day.
The team of Vishal Somaia, Natasha Tisminsiesky, Pius and Miranda Rojimn first defeated Tanqueray 3-0 before overcoming Tusker Malt by the same margin to romp home in style with maximum points in the three-team competition.
