Lucchese and Coca Cola in Joe Barry Memorial Cup final

Yesterday's semi-finals put Herbie Pennell winners, Coca Cola, and Lucchese through to final

John Muse’s Lucchese and Gillian Johnston’s Coca Cola will meet each other in the final of the Joe Barry Memorial Cup. The two sides secured their places in Sunday’s final at International Polo Club Palm Beach (IPCPB) after successfully defeating their opponents in Wednesday’s semi-finals.

Lucchese, featuring 10-goaler David “Pelon” Stirling, eased to victory against Valiente II in the first semi-final game. Despite Valiente II taking an early lead, Lucchese went on to win 16-11.

Coca Cola had their work cut out against Chris del Gatto’s Circa team in the second game. With the score tied at 10-10 in the final chukka, a foul by Circa and a goal by Julio Arellano secured Johnston’s team a 12-10 win.

The final takes place this Sunday, 29 January, at IPCPB – the same day that the Ylvisaker Cup begins.
