San Diego Arena Memorial Day Tournament Results
The day started out with an action packed game and serious match up of young and beautiful talent! The stars were definitely the young guns by the names of Colton Bancroft, Fernando Guittierez, Harrison Samaniego and Madison Teater. Each young team was captained by a gorgeous gal by the names of Mia and Erin Rousey. The Poway Stars captured the game by a narrow victor. Poway Stars: Mia, Harrison Samaniego and Madison Teater!
Game 2 saw San Diego Polo 2 winning against Poway Blue. Another exciting game with a father daughter team of Scott and Hollie Bogess captained by Russ Sheldon and Nancy Kirchofer did not prove to be strong enough against San Diego’s mighty Gerardo directing his all star team of Lisa Hoyle and Katie Neglia. Miss Katie saved the day by not only playing well all day long, but she stopped a ball from going in that could have tied the score with the help of super star Lisa Hoyle!
At 12 Noon the Club organized a special event in appreciation of Patricia Fitzgerald. For those of you that do not know her Patty is a beautiful woman with many talents. One of which was her passion for polo and dedication to helping new students in the San Diego Arena Club! A huge turnout for all of those that love and wanted to thank her!
In game 3 was OC/SD 3 the title over Poway white! Jared Sheldon proved to be to much to stop even though he was mainly the passer and captain just directing his soldiers Dave Csiki and Doc (Russ Dunham). Jullie Empery’s and Susan Harris’s defense coupled with David Teater’s long balls did not prove to be enough to stop the OC/SD combo!
The winner of this game 4 goes to Poway Red!!!! Red Hot they were…Young Steven Paulson, Savannah Broderick and Danielle Kammann played so well. Rockin Robin Pacius, Hungry Rick Pacius, “Kiwi 2” Mark Mcquitty and “The French Lady” Elaine gave it a good try and while it was a close game close was not good enough for OC.
The final game of the day was won by OC POLO 1. Denny Geiler was simply unstoppable with the assistance of Dave Schubert running to goal on a super short, streaking buckskin horse and Eric Munk storming behind him! Mark Register, Sam, Stan and Molly Olberz
