It's another season of the best of the game of kings or more preferably like some would want to call it ''the king of games''. And nearly everyone knows why it is tagged either way. It's not a game for 'small kids' by that we mean neophytes. And also for those who want to play, apart from one being dexterous on the horse, to enjoy playing it one needs to be very liquid. Those stallions or mares (horses) don't come cheap at all. Though membership of the polo club is seemingly at 2 levels now. 

Those who just enjoy the spectacles and just love to rub shoulders with their own likes who are well to do and who don't play the game at all; this category is made up of just social members. But there are those, who enjoy the game on another level, not only do they play, they own and keep several horses in their stables, so they are action members and social ones too. 

This season's international tournament began on  Wednesday, February 27 and would run till Sunday, March 10, 2013 at their usual venue in Lagos, the Lagos Polo Club, Ikoyi. Like they always do, it's not always just about the games alone, it's also the opportunity to network and socialize on another level. 

Games have been on going everyday since Wednesday. And every evening of the day is the other fun part, listening to the best of music, while having drinks and backslapping or just generally socializing. The tournament would be on for 2 good weeks. The Open Cup & Dansa Cup competitions which started on Wednesday ends this Sunday, March 3, 2013, while the Majek Cup & the Low cup competition starts on Wednesday, March 6, 2013 and ends on the 10th. The last day like they usually do, would now end with a big bang! As there would be a Gala night that we would be covering. Like it obtains, a very big musician would bring the finale to an appropriate ending. We can remember clearly seeing Asa and King Sunny Ade doing their things at different times, bringing the particular year's tournament to the right conclusion.

Check out a few pictures of the actions and also the out and about of the past few days for your viewing pleasure.
