The atmosphere was lively, with the returning players receiving a strong reception from the fans who had come to see their former heroes.
The Legends’ team demonstrated impressive handling skills and teamwork, while the Masters displayed their own solid execution.
Ultimately, the match was an entertaining affair, with the score less significant than the occasion and the money raised for charity.
