The biggest 6 goal of the year got underway last week at Knepp Castle with an entry of 4 teams. Games began on Saturday on the Coolham ground with the Richardson based team, ROK Energy taking on Silver Fox, Patroned by Parke Bradley. The game was extremely close to begin with as both teams scored a run away field goal and a penalty within the first few minutes. The game carried on much the same until the last Chukka when ROK began to pull away and eventually win the game by two goals earning them a place in the final. The second game took place on the Sunday afternoon and saw Robert Van Den Bergh's Pluma Negra play Sciurus Walking with the Wounded. Sciurus started the game strongly and were quick to score. It didn't take long for Pluma to retaliate scoring a couple of nice penalties. The game remained quite close until the fourth chukka when Sciurus outplayed their opponents and booked a place in the final.
The finals took place on the Lake ground on the Monday in front of over four hundred people. The first game was the final and was being played for the Sotheby's and Lycetts trophy. ROK Energy had an awesome start to the game with Jack Richardson flying up and down the field. By half time the score was 5 - 1 to ROK leaving Sciurus with a lot to do in the second half. Sciurus came back hard with new tactics that definitely worked. With forty seconds left on the clock Sciurus had managed to pull the score back to 5 - 5. It looked as though it would go to extra chukka but ROK were awarded a forty yard penalty which was converted by Jack and won them the game. Horse Charity ROR were there awarding the best playing pony prize which was given to Jack Richardson's Elliebow, an eight year old grey mare that was played in the first chukka.
The second game was played for the Savills Trophy between the other two teams Pluma Negra and Silver Fox. Silver Fox started strongly and were first to score with great team play from brothers Caio and Bauti Sorzana. Pluma managed to score a few goals but were very unlucky in front of goal. Despite the score being close at half time, the final score was 7 - 4 to Silver Fox.| < Prev | Next > |
