Sound Win

A convincing win was scored by the Poverty Bay A team when they forged ahead over the final stages of their game against Rangitikei A in the Open Polo Tournament at Bushmere. The result was 9-3 at the end of a game which featured good sportsmanship and good riding. It was pleasing to note the large crowd at the ground. This is indicative of the increase being taken in this spectacular spectator sport.
