BATTLE FOR THE WATCHES
Thanks to J. Vair Anderson for their
continued support of the Calgary Polo
Club, there is one prize that all the players
seem to really want…the coveted watches!
This season is no exception as fans
arrived on Thursday evening in their
cowboy hats and wranglers in honor of
the Calgary Stampede, Ivanhoe and The
Hawks had victory on their minds. The
battle for the 10 goal J. Vair Anderson
Cup began with Ivanhoe taking an early 5
goal lead. The Hawks didn’t stay down
for long, with some perfect penalty
conversions, and some very fast horses,
they took over the lead by one. It was an
incredible comeback, but unfortunately
for the Hawks Ivanhoe had a few more
tricks up their sleeves and at the end of
the sixth and final chukker the score was
9-8 in favor of Ivanhoe. Bryan Thomas
and his team won the bragging rights of
the J. Vair Anderson Cup and the beautiful
Tissot watches! Thanks again to J. Vair
Anderson for their generous donation of
the watches, it is greatly appreciated.
