President of the club, Bayo Amusan stated that the club would always be in the forefront of polo development while calling on more sponsors to join the club in making the game more popular, as the game was capital intensive.
Thisday's Gboyede Shomiyiwa said his outfit was happy to be associated with polo and commended the Lagos Polo Club for its sustained drive to take the game to an enviable height while urging the club to encourage younger players to come into the game.
Carol Obekwe, Corporate Affair Manager of Leadway Assurance said it had been worthwhile identifying with the tournament and charged the organisers to give the game and sponsors more publicity.
