IMPHAL, Nov 23: \u201cPolo is perhaps the only game in which there is no discrimination between the sexes where the female of the species plays on equal footing with their male counterparts\u201d\u2019 said Rowena Stichbury, the only lady polo player taking part in the 10th Manipur Polo International, 2016.
