Vero Beach Polo The USPA Officers Cup Final
Today was another great day of POLO in Vero Beach.. The final of the United States Polo Association sanctioned Officers Cup.
Shamrock vs Environmental Works.
Robin Meltons Enviromental Works team won over Shamrock. Peter Blake played very hard and well managing to escape several times to score thanks to his great riding and solid play when he was on the ball.
Heads up play by Marcus Onetto led to a very fast game up and down the field.
Shamrock had the 3 Quraeshi brothers..Shamir, Sahir & Aayan, along with Sergio Sylvestre.. Who we know from the old days at Windsor. Haydn Walsh played 2 chukkers and as always showed great tenacity and his usual dead on handling of the ball....
The 2nd game was also fantastic. Devon Kahle riding like a gymkahna rider..near side off side and everything in between.
At the end Peter Bibeau's Buckleigh Farms team came out ahead of Rocking K.. POLO in Vero is spectacular.. come out and join us..!

The latest news CHARITY POLO CUP at WINDSOR Saturday Feb 18th 2012

THE LATEST NEWS
POLO CHARITY CUP AT WINDSOR:.....NEWS..Now this is something to be excited about.
SUPERB POLO!
Memo Gracida is a living legend in polo. He has won the US Open 16 times, almost double the number of his nearest rival. In addition he held a perfect 10 handicap for a record 21 years. He is also one of only three foreigners to have won the pinnacle of the sport, the Argentine Open which has been played for 120 years. He has also won the British Open, the Queens Cup twice, the Australian Open and the World Cup five times.
He is most recognized for being more than a player and captain, he is a general of teams both on and off the field. On the the field by bringing out the potential of his teammates through coaching and teamwork and off the field through organizational skills and fastidious attention to detail.
He is partnered today with Mike Azzaro, with whom he has formed a dynamic and very successful partnership, including US Open wins.
The two played together for Galen Weston's Maple Leafs team and we are excited to reunite them today.
Mike Azzarro is the best post war American polo player.
He is the only American player to have won the British Open and US Open and the only American to have reached the final of the Argentine Open. In fact he is one of the only non Argentines to have played that tournament and has done so with six different teams, he received a standing ovation from the crowd of 30,000 after his incredible individual performance in the 1994 final.
Keep your eye on the ball. Watch the line and most of all have a lovely day at Windsor watching POLO...A natural 'freak talent' he won the the British open at 20 years of age and followed that up with a win in the Queens Cup.
He has won the US Open five times and the USPA Gold Cup twice. Due to these successes and at times his unplayable power, speed and accuracy, he held a perfect handicap of 10 from 1996 the mid 2000's.
He was also a stalwart in Galen Weston's Maple Leafs team for a number of years in the 1990's.

Vero Polo USPA Officers Cup first round
A chilly day at Vero Polo.. but as the saying goes..The only thing worse than cold Polo is no Polo!
Thank you to everyone who came out to cheer on the teams.
In the first match up Environmental Works won over last weeks champions Buckleigh Farms. Marcos Onetto work hard and played well to lead the team to win. Ian Angus stepping in for Robin Melton played a great game off and on the ball. Sometimes all we see is the player with the ball and don't see some of the great plays by his team mates making sure he doesn't get challenged.. Well done Ian & welcome back to Vero Polo.
The 2nd match today was much closer. Shamrock vs Rocking K. Rocking K looking great in their new yellow & orange shirts
A very close match all the way through. Ultimately Shamrock won with a last minute penalty shot.
Shamir Quraeshi joined the Shamrock team for this game and as we are used to played very well. Not only was he a very solid #4 player but he also got in on some of the action up front.. (by the way he, along with his brothers has a great new line of polo inspired clothing www.http://escue-polo.com/)
Hayden Walsh was the star for the Shamrock team with an uncanny eye for the ball and also where he needed to be on the field to best help the team.
The finals will be next Sunday and we look forward to seeing everyone back at Vero Polo.
Stay warm
