National I/S Tournament

Poway did a great job for 3 chukkers (tied game at that point), but they could not make a goal while everything Fort Worth shot went in. The Poway Team represented our area very well and gave it everything they had.  While not happy with losing, they were gentlemen and asked Fort Worth to take good care of the trophy because they want to win it back in 2005.

We are looking forward to the 2005 I/I Season and would like to see more West Coast Teams be able to go to the Nationals. Let’s start working on our teams now and become as good as we can for next year.  The future of polo is the young players we are developing now.
