I had the pleasure of attending the Smoak Family Polo Tournament Finals match on Sunday - and what a match, wow!! This was one of the best 8-goal matches I have ever seen. Lots of defense, offense, skill, speed... After the 6th chukker it was a tie game, so it went into sudden-death overtime. It was non-stop action, both teams proved they deserved to be in the finals! You don't see this kind of scoring usually in an 8-goal tourny. (8 goal is the handicap level total of the players on each team - If you're not too sure about polo - check out some of my previous posts labeled 'polo 101' ) :)
Here are the players:
Team: Hutchinson Farm/First View (Charlie Hutchinson IV, Joe Meyer, Will Tankard, Nick Snow)
Team: Diavoli Rossi (Andrew Seibert, Lauren Biddle, Matthew Fonseca, Tommy Biddle)
WINNERS>> Hutchinson Farm/First View! 17-16
AWARDS FOR PLAYERS AND PONIES!
