The match was nearly cancelled due to incessant rain. But just two hours before the scheduled start, we were given the all clear to proceed – albeit on a shortened oval at the UN International School, Hanoi.
Saigon turned up as clear favourites – and got belted.
The final score was Hanoi 15.6. 96 to Saigon 6.9.45.
So, for the second time this year, the North has retained the trophy.
