The Mayer Ranch and Pony Up teams

In the consolation match on Sunday, the team from Stone Pony outscored Boca Polo right from the start. Their handicap gave a 2.5 on the scoreboard before the first ball was tossed and Dennis Fitzpatrick added to the tally with one from the field to give Stone Pony a commanding lead of 3.5-0 early in the first chukker. Geoff Richards scored twice for Boca Polo, closing the gap to within one and a half goals before the horn sounded. In the second chukker, Boca Polo kept Stone Pony scoreless and a third goal by Richards moved Boca Polo to within a half goal deficit at 3.5-3.

The second half was evenly matched as each team scored one goal in each chukker. David Greenhill scored first in the third chukker for Stone Pony increasing their lead 4.5-3. Peter Nathanial then gave Boca Polo credit to bring them back to within a half goal at 4.5-4. In the final chukker, Greenhill scored again for Stone Pony giving them a substantial cushion. The goal scored by Boca Polo's Jeff Blake did nothing to stonewall Stone Pony's victory with a final score of 5.5-5.
