There were 5 games today and some big ones that really made it happen. At 10 am it was ADEPTUS/CASA BLANCA showing how not to play polo. They played with the theory of “See ball, chase ball” versus a team who is similar in mindset with the exception of Mrs. Bailey who took the one person playing polo, Guti (Mariano Gutierrez) and it was not enough as Hidden Creek took the hide off of the ACB boys and girl.
Over on field 4 it was the Mexican Secretary of Defense (Fernando Pliego of Aspen Oaks) who stopped the CNS rocking stocks and blocked the doors on their run to get out of the cellar where there are few behind them or below I should say.
At 12 noon on field 5 it was the Pinkies as in Ohana. Kelly’s boy (Kelly Maloney) Christian Moon was on fire early and sent them out by 3 once 4 as Wild Bill Freeman and company were slow to mobilize. They finally got tied up in the 2nd and 3rd, but the Surfer (Diego Cossio) kept them just behind. Some very easy goals were missed and cost Corleone the game. Now they have to fight to stay in the hunt for the semis.
Also at 12 on field 3 it was Princeps doing something new, winning! They defeated a very good team as Jenny Luttrell (Cottrell Farms) and the smooth one (Lance Hughes) must of been sleeping as Princeps pounded them down and now go to 1 and 2 as well as Cotterell Farms. The Bridges/Princeps II team have become the hitting cage for teams racking up goals as they were the victims of Billy Boy (Hoyman) and M and M beating today by about 7. The Bridges/Princeps II is now minus 22 with 2 games to go. Sunday will be a game of mostly losers versus winners.
