FMB took early control of the Rincon League Summerland Cup final last Saturday and never looked back, winning the battle of undefeated teams 13-10 over Whitehall Ranch. Benjamin Avendaño, scoring over half of FMB’s 13 goals, came away with the Most Valuable Player award, but he was quick to say that the win would not have been possible without his teammates. He remarked, “Santi Wulff was amazing as always and by putting Leigh at the back we knew we didn’t have to worry about anything, and Charlie played phenomenally as always.” Whitehall Ranch didn’t go down without a fight. Facundo Obregon gave it his all, scoring 8 of Whitehall Ranch’s final 10 goals. Paquito de Narvaez tallying the remaining two. Bill Lane’s talented mare Mouse won the Best Playing Pony award. Obregon bred and sold Lane Mouse and still plays her mother today in high goal chukkers. Earlier in the day Gainesway defeated Klentner Ranch and Barrossa defeated Novis in the consolation rounds.
