Canadian star poloist Steve Dalton scored nine of his team's 13 goals to overpower CasaBlanca/Sportsitio's roster, 13-7. He scored five of those goals in the first chukker of play on the MVP Pony, Donna. Steve got Donna from Willis Allen, who has a passion for breeding and raising fine polo ponies. Tritech's Dalton, who is the Captain of Team Canada for the upcoming World Championships, teamed up with Argentinian pro Gaston Von Wernich, to present an awesome display of precision teamwork. Khai Agon and Chris Maloney the Number one and four positions respectfully, did a great job in complementing the Tritech victory. San Diego's Chris Maloney is responsible for putting together the winning foursome and is considered to be one of the most talented amateurs playing in Southern California. Khai Agon originally from Kauai, Hawaii was substituting for local Rancho Santa Fe resident, Steve Maloney. The CasaBlanca/Sportsitio roster included Rancho Santa Fe residents Jennifer Anakar and Reggie White. Their professionals were Carlos Galindo and Federicko Von Wernich. Reggie White also plays for the local Bishop High School's Football Team. Federicko Von Wernich received Glenlivet's "Shot of the Game" with an incredible score from both a great distance and difficult angle. Ferericko was the second highest scorer with five goals. The O-4 goal is not a National Championship, but we call it the San Digeo Rossmore Cup-the winners were Photo Polo's Ed Masterson from San Diego, Shane Rice and Billy Sheldon (both from Poway, CA), and Andy Maze (New Zealand). They defeated CasaBlanca's Ronai White (Rancho Santa Fe), Ashton Wolf (LA), Ramero Gonzalez and Carlos Galindo (Mexico), in a thrilling over-time victory, 7-6. Andy Maze scored all six of Photo Polo's goals during regulation play, but Billy Sheldon scored the winning goal well into the sudden-death chukker with a textbook near-side forehander. Carlos Galindo scored five goals in the closely matched contest. Teams played off against each other for a two-week tournament to capture the title. Teams will continue on to play the Delta Cup for the next two weeks. The polo season continues until October 15th.
