BMW – B Grimm Thai Open 2012 Tournament – Day 1
Three matches were played on day one of the BMW – B Grimm Thai Open 2012 Tournament which took place on Tuesday, 11th of January.
MACAU: 5 ½ vs RANHILL: 7
The first match of the 2012 Thai Polo Open was between two closely matched teams – MACAU (12 goal team) vs RANHILL (14 goal team).
The first goal was quickly put on the board by team Macau early in the first chukkar; only to be followed by a goal from Ranhill.
From that point on it is was a trade off of goals up until the end of the last chukkar, with Ranhill scoring on a 30 yard penalty hit and then a quick goal after the throw in; ending the chukkar and the game at 7 for Ranhill and 5 ½ for Macau.
The patrons of the Macau team were a pleasure to watch as they displayed their ability to stay up with the pace, the speed and the intensity of the game.
The close score is most definitely a testimony to their efforts.
BRDV IBIL: 5 ½ vs TROIKA: 7
In a hard fought contest TROKIA out lasted BRDV IBIL to a socre of 7 to 5 ½.
It looked like BRDB IBIL was on the comeback trail in the 3rd chukker, however TROIKA held on for the victory.
AXUS: 5 ½ vs THAI POLO: 8
The THAI POLO Team established itself as a contender with a win in its first match of the Thai Open against a strong AXUS Team.
THAI POLO started off strong only to see their 4 ½ lead dwindle to a 2 ½ goal lead at the end of the game.
