BUCKLEIGH TAKES THIRD IN PREZ CUP
The match at Saratoga Polo on Thursday may have been the consolation game of the Regional USPA President’s Cup Tournament, but both teams were playing like it was the final. Buckleigh Farm fended off a late rally from Bloomfield in the final chukker of the contest to claim third place in the President’s Cup, 11-10.
Offensively, Buckleigh Farm relied on a steady attack. Leading scorer Luis Galvan scored each of his 5 tallies in different chukker. He was supported by Osiris Jacques with 4 and Jube Baez, who had 2 in a row before halftime.
Conversely, Bloomfield’s scoring came in bursts. Will Orthwein had 2 unanswered in the first and Omar Sosa had 3 unanswered in the second. After a very quiet pair of middle chukkers, Sosa and Orthwein had a marker apiece in the fifth and sixth chukkers.
The finals of The USPA President’s Cup Tournament are scheduled at Saratoga Polo for Friday, August 3rd at 5:30pm as Tackeria faces off against Estrella. For more information about Saratoga Polo, call 518-584-8108 or visit SARATOGAPOLO.COM.
