On Tuesday the Pinewood Polo Squad played a return match v Rendcomb College. Rendcomb had done their home work and cleverly marked Harry Davies, who loved the challenge and gave as good as he got; but Josh was given space to give Rendcomb scoring chances.
Pinewood started with a one goal handicap, which they clawed back in the first chukka. The second chukka went from end to end with both teams popping in goals and Sophie Akehurst destroying one goal post! The hooter went with Rendcomb pressurising the Pinewood goal; Harry broke out and played a long shot which was chased hard by Harry and Felix and with less than 5 seconds remaining Pinewood scored the winning goal.
Following the match the presentations were made to Harry Davies, Felix Spooner, Sophie Akehurst, Georgie Bethwaite and Issy Hills and this was followed by delicious picnics. It was a wonderfully exciting match and a great way to prepare for next week's Papplewick Tournament.
I am hoping that some new player will take up this exciting sport so that Pinewood continues to produce a team in 2011.
