Romilla wins a Four Quarters family battle
great teamwork between Simon Prado, who a week later would be named the Club’s Best Professional Player of the Year, Darritchon and Nicolas Roberts, the Black team secured the narrowest of advantages (3–2) heading into the break.
Sadly the rain made an appearance in the second half but it did not stop Prado, who fired through a further goal for Four Quarters Black. Then with just a minute of the third remaining, Four Quarters Orange’s Emanuel Arber passed a great shot to Tom Morley to close the gap to 4–3.

So with all to play for the tension on the field was evident. Prado scored again to give Romilla’s team a two-goal advantage once more. Emanuel wasn’t showing his mother any favours though and scored for his father’s team. However time was now against Simon’s team and when the final bell rang it was a victory for Romilla and her Four Quarters Black team.
Four Quarters Black’s Nicolas Roberts was named the Most Valuable Player. His team-mate, Simon Prado, collected the Images of Polo Best Playing Pony prize for the 11-year-old mare, Gete Plegaria, whom he had played in the third chukka.
The sub final had been played earlier in the day. Tchogan/Polo Performance collected these prizes, beating Elemental/CHP 7–2 on The Princes’ Ground. u
