Las Monjitas to Face Crab Orchard in US Open final

April 16, 2008 - IPC web news
WELLINGTON, FL - Defending champion Crab Orchard and Las Monjitas will face each other in the season finale Stanford US Open Polo Championship Sunday after posting victories in the semifinals at International Polo Club Palm Beach today.


Both games had identical 12-11 scores as Crab Orchard fought off a stubborn Pony Express and Las Monjitas squeaked by White Birch.


“We're here to win it,” said Crab Orchard captain George Rawlings whose team was up by as many as four goals and maintained a two goal difference until the final moments of the game. “They are a tough team and Matias and David were out for us since they made up half our team last year,” Rawlings added. Crab Orchard's 2007 Championship team had Matias Magrini and David Stirling playing with them. This year the two joined Pony Express and were replaced by Nachi Heguy and Jeff Blake.


Magrini and Stirling combined for nine of the teams 11. In the final chukker Crab Orchard's Adolfo Cambiaso, who finished the day with six, put his team up 12-9 on a field length run and goal early. Magrini and Stirling each answered with a goal only to fall one short of victory. Rawlings concluded, “Now the big one.”


Las Monjitas struck early and were up 5-2 in the second chukker when Eduardo Astrada was injured reaching for a shot. Astrada was able to return and scored three times in the second half.
“We are very conscientious of the second half and especially the 4th chukker after coming from a long break. We kept our concentration today”, said Camilo Bautista of Las Monjitas. In the fourth, the orange team completely dominated White Birch by holding them scoreless and only allowing them across midfield once in the chukker. Las Monjitas scored one and missed four shots inside the 20 yard line. Lucas Monteverde of White Birch finished the day with seven goals all on penalty shots. Nacho Astrada had eight for Las Monjitas.


Bautista added, “It's fantastic, this is going to be our third final this year.” Las Monjitas was runner-up in the CV Whitney, won the USPA Piaget Gold Cup and is now in the finals of the Stanford US Open Polo Championship.


The final between Las Monjitas and Crab Orchard, both North American Polo League Teams, will be played at 3:00 PM Sunday, April 20 on the Stanford Field at International Polo Club Palm Beach.

The AB World Championship Invitational is an unusual event where the overall winner may not be the one that won on the field. A 3 part event that started with all 4 players tacking up a very patient polo pony...Lost Equine were the first to finish and this gave them a one goal lead going into the round robin series of chukkers.

On the field Mean Green won the first chukker to advance to the finals. Great play by all positions on the field but the nod must go to Jesse Kahle for always being in position and smart plays when on the ball.

The second team into the final were Lost Equine who came out strong and immediately started putting goals on the board. Nick Romer at back was very strong while Amelia made sure that no player went unmarked and her great eye for the ball was a huge help in getting Lost Equine to the final.

pic above is from a previous game at Vero Polo..Amelia

Having two players named Kahle and one named Green must have been the lucky charm for the Mean Green team as they won the match on the field and the final deciding event a "Know Down".

Note able play of the day goes to Jesse Kahle, Devon Kahle and Rosie Mulholland of team Mean Green..Jesse, in defense, scooped the ball out of the goalmouth and with great backup from Devon they carried the ball to the opposite goal...A shot was stopped right in front of the post until Rosie rode in to tap it through for a great team score.

After the last chukker all teams were tested on their knowledge of the game being asked questions re umpires decisions on various plays...Mean Green answered all questions correctly and are the 2008 AB World Championship Invitational Champions..most likely the longest event title in polo..hope it's a big trophy!!

Well done to everyone and especially Kris for training these players so thoroughly that they can excel on and off the field. Pictures to follow from Sandy Kahle.
