Thu 25th Sep 2014England win against Spain in FIP 14 GoalPeter Webb saves the day for England in close game against Spain
The FIP 14 Goal Qualifications began yesterday at Beaufort Polo Club with England triumphing in a close game against Spain. The team struggled to gel in the first chukka as the Spanish team drilled three goals through the posts before England could even make a mark on the scoreboard. The first two Spanish goals were successful penalty shots, with the third goal of the chukka a result of a run down the field by Mario Gomez Duran in the final 30 seconds. England's first goal came from a penalty shot by Peter Webb, which after being blocked by the Spanish prematurely, umpires Greg Keyte and Cesar Ruiz Guinazu declared that the goal would stand. Will Emerson was the next to add to the board, with his teammate Peter Webb finding the posts once again just moments later. The score remained close for the remainder of the match, with neither side ever gaining much advantage. The decideder however came in the final seconds of the fifth chukka, with Peter Webb confidently converting a penalty to give England an opening win in the tournament, 8–7. Spain’s Ignacio Domecq and his son Luis had between them trucked 24 horses over in order to play this tournament, with Mario Gomez Duran and Pelayo Berazadi the two players to complete their line-up. England face Ireland tomorrow at 2pm while Spain will take on France at 12 noon. Photograph: Peter Webb going for the winning goal.
