Last weekend on the 7th -8th July the LCC youth polo team went to the Joy Davis Hull International Polo tournament playing in Division 4 .
With 8am start on the Saturday the lads won all four of their games (as well as fitting in the England game in the pub between games ) scoring 14 goals without conceding and finishing the day with another tight game against Kingston Youth and finishing top of their mini league .
Another early start on the Sunday saw all the winners of Saturdays mini leagues play against each other and they started the day badly with their first defeat of the weekend against Pennine B losing 3-2 . Their next game and for a place in the final up for grabs (and potential revenge against Pennine) was against Manchester Wildcats ( who were also defeated by Pennine 3-2 ) who were quickly swept aside with five nil .
Then onto the Final and despite going 2-0 down and with some unsporting behaviour from Pennine fought back to get a 2-2 draw with 30 seconds left on clock .After a short break we were into extra time and golden goals .With both teams lined up Luke won the sprint ( yet again ) and after a couple of passes the ball was received by Dean under the goal who fired it home to win the final and a great victory .
A big well done to Aaron , Callum , John , Luke , Dean and Myles .
