In a rambling gambling game the “Other Team” and that is their name courtesy of Rege White, nearly died and came back to life. Unlike “The Shark” it was not over.

Jofie (Joseph Stuart) became the hero as he tapped in the golden goal to win a big one for “The Other Team.” It was a very big day in San Diego. A large and very fun crowd watched the action.
On the other side of the Pond in the U.K. it was Paddie replaying last year as he took the Golf British Open. It was California’s own Tom Barrack losing the Polo British Open by a single goal. The crowd was really big at the Open in the U.K. with 30 thousand people.
In Santa Barbara it was a final, but I have been lectured about being negative, so I will not tell you who won the 2 main tournaments. I will tell you that the real draw was held for the Robert Skene Cup which starts this Friday with 7 teams competing for the first big 20-goal Tournament on the Gold Coast. It starts Friday right here in Carpinteria, Ca. with . . .
