WELLINGTON, FL – Ten-goaler Adam Snow scored six goals to lead Henley House over Crab Orchard 11-9 in a semifinal of the 22-goal Iglehart Cup polo tournament Sunday at International Polo Club Palm Beach.

Henley House will play Goshen, which defeated San Saba 9-6 behind five goals from Sugar Erskine, Sunday at 3 p.m. in the championship game.

The tournament is named for one of polo’s leading families, Hall of Famers Stewart and Philip Iglehart. The tournament was not played in 2004 because of scheduling conflicts. Tommy Lee Jones’ San Saba was the 2003 champion and John Goodman’s Isla Carroll won the tournament in 2002.

Snow scored three unanswered goals in the fourth chukker to spark Henley House to an 8-4 margin. Crab Orchard responded with three consecutive goals in the fifth chukker, two by Memo Gracida, to cut the margin to 8-7 with 4:50 remaining. Henley House’s Carlucho Arellano stopped the scoring run with a breakaway with 4:01 left in the fifth and connected on a neck shot with 5:40 left in the sixth chukker to increase the margin to 10-7.

Agustin Merlos converted two 30-yard penalty shots in a 92-second span to bring Crab Orchard within one, 10-9, with 2:38 left in the game. Snow missed a 30-yard penalty at the two-minute mark, but Arellano stole the ball from Gracida and dribbled in to give Henley House an 11-9 lead with 1:20 remaining.

“It was a great start,” said Snow. “We only had one practice. I tried to be on the outside and let Francisco (Lanusse) and Carlucho (Arellano) handle the ball. I would pick my spots.”

Henley House scored the first two goals and never trailed in the game, although there was one tie. Arellano finished with five goals for Henley House (1-0). Wayne Grover and Lanusse did not score. Merlos led Crab Orchard (0-1) with five goals while Gracida added three goals. Patron George Rawlings and 17-year-old Julio Gracida did not score.

The second semifinal started slowly as both teams missed numerous scoring opportunities early. They both came alive in the fifth chukker, combining for six goals. After Pancho Bensadon 10-yard forehand gave Goshen a 4-2 lead 15 seconds into the fifth chukker, San Saba responded with three unanswered goals, one each by Gaston Von Wernich, Tommy Lee Jones and Toto Collardin. Erskine countered with two goals in a 49-second span near the end of the fifth chukker to put Goshen on top for good. He added two more consecutive goals in the first three minutes of the sixth chukker to increase the margin to 8-5 with 4:26 left in the game.

“We started getting our rhythm going by the end of the game,” said Bensadon.

“Both teams missed goals,” said Erskine. “It’s the first game of the season, but there’s not much difference between the teams. We got a little luckier.”

Bensadon finished with two goals and Stewart Armstrong scored one goal for Goshen (1-0). Patron Irvin Abell did not score. Von Wernich and Collardin scored two goals each for San Saba (0-1) while Jones and Hector Galindo added one goal apiece.
