Cartier Queen’s Cup Day 12

15. June 2021

Scone Polo 10 – 7 Thai Polo NP & Monterosso 12 – 8 BP Polo

Scone Polo saw the welcome addition of their patron, David Paradice, to the team this afternoon, the first time he has played for Scone in this year’s competition. His return was a winning one as Scone Polo registered their third win, defeating Thai Polo NP 10-7, in their last league match of the tournament. Thai Polo NP really needed to win this one to keep their tournament hopes alive and Louis and Ned Hine did all they could to stop the Cambiaso duo playing any running polo. Thanks to the Hine brothers’ efforts Thai Polo kept Scone Polo in their sights for all six chukkas. That said, Scone Polo led from the first chukka (2-1) and never relinquished their lead. They delivered a team effort with goals from Cambiaso Senior, Junior and Isidro Strada.

Monterosso retained their unbeaten run – three games out of three – this afternoon to beat BP Polo 12-8. Winning this match on The Queen’s Ground ensured Alessandro Bazzoni headed home with the Richard Watt Cup too, named after a former Chairman of Guards Polo Club. Cubi Toccalino was again the star of the show for Monterosso, scoring nine of their 12 goals, six of them penalties. Similar to yesterday’s King Power match, Monterosso did the hard work in the early stages of this match, they were ahead 6-1 at the end of the second, to ensure victory later on. BP Polo upped their marking in the second half, which stopped Monterosso getting to goal with such regularity. The fifth saw Juan Martin Nero and James Beh add a clutch of goals to BP Polo’s tally which kept them in contention going into the sixth chukka (11-8 to Monterosso). This though was always Monterosso’s game and like Scone Polo earlier in the day, they were in control from the first chukka. Monterosso now have one league game left to play – the very last league match of the tournament – against White Crane on Wednesday afternoon.

Cartier Queen’s Cup Day 11

15. June 2021

Park Place 11 – 8 UAE Polo ll & King Power 16 – 10 Vikings

A change of line up for Park Place today as Andrey Borodin was unable to play and his place was taken by Sebastian Petragallo. Despite this change in personnel, Park Place went on to secure their third league win in this year’s tournament but had to remain focused against a defensive UAE Polo ll team. This was a back and forth game at Coworth Park that saw both teams level at half-time, 4-4. The game opened up a little more in the second half and Park Place found some air in the fifth when UAE Polo ll failed to score at all. However there was plenty of tension, with both Sebastian Petragallo and Jaime Huidobro being shown yellow cards in the fourth chukka. Two goals apiece in the sixth chukka ensured victory for Park Place but both teams delivered some good play and Hugo Taylor was particularly impressive in defence for UAE Polo ll. Park Place have now completed their league stages, winning three out of four games but will have to wait and see where they will finish heading into the quarter-finals.

King Power proved that starting strong pays off, beating the Vikings 16-10 on The Duke’s Ground at Guards Polo Club. They were 5-0 up at the end of the first thanks to goals and penalties from Fran Elizalde and Charles Cooney. By half-time King Power had cemented their dominance 11-3. The South African John Watson again subbed for Vikings patron Siri Evjemo-Nysveen in the second half of this match and the team gradually put themselves back into contention, offering some really strong team play. Juan Martin Zubia scored six goals in this second half but had mixed fortunes as he was also given a yellow card in the sixth. It should be noted too that despite leading from the first chukka King Power were taking no chances in this game and continued to push until the final whistle. Both teams have one league game each left to play and will be eager to go to next weekend’s quarter-finals with three league wins under their belts.
