Arellano Scores for Opening Victory in
Hobe Sound 12-Goal
Carlucho Arellano
scored from a penalty four in overtime on Friday to give Aliano
Realty an opening 10-9 win over Burnt Mills/Peapacton in the Outback
12-goal League underway at Hobe Sound Polo Club this month.
Six teams have entered with several
players including seven-goal Tommy Biddle taking the fields at Hobe
Sound for the first time.
Biddle lines up with John Gobin, Glenn
Straub and Scott Swerdlin for Palm Beach Equine and faces Woodlawn Mt
Airy in his Hobe Sound debut today.
“I heard that the fields at the club
were really good,†said Biddle. “Good fields and enforcing the
not turning on the ball rule are going to help my style of play.
I’ve got all my best horses down here and I’m looking forward to
it.â€
Frankie Bilbao will also play at Hobe
Sound today for the first time alongside Francisco Ayala, Cesar
Jimenez and Marty Cregg for Skaneateles as they take on Yellow Cab.
Eight teams are in contention for this
month’s Outback League eight goal at Hobe Sound. Ruben Coscia made
an impressive opening performance in this tournament, his goal score
heading into double figures as Virginia Beach/Woodlawn defeated
Shamrock featuring South Africa’s Joe Henderson 16-6.
Four teams vie for the winner’s
podium in the four-goal and a fellow South African Duncan Watson and
his Detroit Blues teammates will be hoping to go one better after
losing to 9-5 El Sur in the February Outback League four-goal finals.
They kicked off their campaign with a 10-5 win over Escue yesterday
at Hobe Sound.
