SUPA National Junior Arena 2012
Who would have thought polo would be played on Sunday 17 March as it was pelting down snow and sleet. But once at Longdole Polo Club, the sun came out and shined all day for the host of school teams that played.
In Division 1, Cothill took first place by a narrow margin, winning only by goal average against the much younger Summer Fields School team. Both teams were at their best in each game, and the polo was fast, with on-looking parents cheering as the boys went from one end to the other. Both Cothill and Summer Fields teams won against Pappleick, who put on a great show, and they both defeated Cothill Reds. The younger underdog team, Summer Fields included Leo Ljunstrom (-2), Christian Oberschneider (-2), and Billy Hawkings-Byass.
Cothill and Summer Fields put on a great performance as this game was the tournament. Cothill missed two penalties, but scored the first field goal. Summer Fields came back with a neck shot to goal from Oberschneider equalizing the game. Both teams exhibited great defense the remaining game, with near misses to goal from both sides. The final results went to Cothill however by goal average for the tournament.
