MORTON CUP

Ellerston today won the Morton Cup played at Windsor. Sorry that i have not had any updates but that was due to technical difficulties on my end. The Ellerston team for the final was a bit differnet to the line up for the first 2 games due to injuries. The original team was Neil Craig, Matt grimes, James Biem and Goerge Hill. Yesterday in a 6 goel game John Martin sustained a broken wrist and a dislocation in a fall and he was replaced by Neil Craig. In the final today of the 6 goal Neilo was playing again in Johns place and he got a smack to the face from his horse and was slightly concussed. He was replaced in the 14 goal team by Hamish Cottier. Jams Biem was nurseing a sore wrist after he was hit on it in the previous days games and he was replaced by Jaun Ambroggio. George andMatt managed to stay fit. They played against Wintens Dave Rothwell, Adam Tolhurst, Andrew Williams and Malcolm Borwick. Ellerston were given a 1 goal start but Winten had all the running for 4 chukkas. They led by 8-4 at the start of the 6th but Juan came out on the Champion pony Shelty and with great runs from Matt they managed to tie and eventually hit the winning goal in the extra 30 seconds. The Team of Ponies were given to Ellerstons "Flicka", "Lord" and "Fizz"
