Thu 12th Mar 2015USPA Piaget Gold Cup continuesAlegria secure second win of tournament
Julian Mannix’s Alegria (Hilario Ulloa, Mariano Aguerre and Sterling Giannico) defeated the Engel & Volker team (Carlitos/Mariano Gracida, Kris Kampsen, Matias Magrini and Santi Torres) in yesterday’s only Gold Cup match at International Polo Club Palm Beach. Engel & Volkers started the game with a one-goal advantage, which was quickly added to when Kris Kampsen coaxed the ball out of the line-out to score. However, Alegria were quick to decisively reply with Aguerre scoring twice and his teammates, Ulloa and Giannico getting a goal apiece. A penalty conversion by Ulloa plus a field goal and two quick goals from Julian Mannix, stretched Alegria’s lead to 8-2 at the end of the second, from which Engel & Volker never recovered. Alegria capitalised on their lead with all four players contributing to their goal tally, whilst Engel & Volkers chased their opposition by converting sporadic penalties and infrequent field goals. The last chukka saw Engel & Volkers focus on their defense, which left nearly five minutes of goalless play before Mannix found the posts. Goals from Kampsen and Torres closed the game, but they were too far behind to steal victory from Alegria who rode off the winners, 14-8.
