Hong Kong China secure second consecutive win of Super Nations Cup

England lost 8 goals to 11 in Sunday’s Final at Tianjin Goldin Metropolitan Polo Club in China

Following on from Hong Kong China’s 11-7 win over England in the 2013 Super Nations Tournament, spectators at Tianjin Goldin Metropolitan Polo Club, once again cheered on their home side to victory for the 2014 edition. 

 
After a convincing win over Argentina in the Semi Final and with Jack Richardson and Max Charlton being part of the line-up which beat Hong Kong China to win The FIP Snow Polo World Cup at Tianjin back in January, the England side were undoubtedly tough opposition. However, despite a half-time score of 5 all in the Final of The Fortune Heights Super Nations Cup, England didn’t manage to overcome the Hong Kong China line-up of Lucas Lalor, Santiago Cernadas, John Paul Clarkin and John Fisher. An excellent fourth chukka for the home side, which saw them notch up five goals in seven minutes, was met with a last-ditch attempt from England in the sixth who scored the only two goals of the final chukka. Sadly, for the visiting team it was a case of too little, too late and Hong Kong China won the tournament for the second time in a row. 
 
In Saturday’s Subsidiary Final, Team USA beat Argentina 10 goals to 9 in a close and exciting match. Trailing by 2 goals to 5 at half-time, the Americans scored eight goals in the final three chukkas to take third place in the tournament.
