BMW

The Motorline BMW has been held for another year in fine conditions tho there was a cool breeze blowing in the morning but thankfully it dropped in the afternoon. The 4 goal final was won by Vince Ferraro's Primo Property. He was ably assisted by James Shepherd, Richard and Jim Rawlings. They defeated Angelo Russo's City Motor Auction Group. Angelo had imported a hired gun from down south in the form of Simon Hill but it was not enough with Vince's team scoring the winning goal in the dying seconds of the last chukka. He also had help from Shane Martin and Beau Skerret. The 10 goal final got under way after a stampede onto the field by the spectators to find the golden horse shoe and as an after thought to stomp the divots. The 2 final teams were the teams that had to bring in subtitute players after injuries to their regular players. Wastecorp patron Ron Wanless sustained a very serious eye injury while playing polo at the Brisbane Royal Show on the Sunday before his tournament and he was replaced by Will White who did a great job in trying to fill Ronnie's shoes. He was playing with Damien Johnston, Steve Barnard and Zac Haggadorn. Custodian had also had a team restructure with Mark Field breaking his collarbone on the previous Saturday. There -2 and Mark were replaced by Trent Walkden and Sam Hunt. They combined with Graig Wilson and John Fitzgerald. Custodian came out on fire and in the 2nd chukka they were up 6-2 when Zac was hammering to goal with the other players and he hit the ground very hard. He was replaced by Jeff Barnard and as Zac went off the field so too did the momentum that Custodian had built up. Wastecorp came back hard and fast and the score was tied at 6 all at the end of the 4th. The momentum was still with Wastecorp and Custodian had to play catch up for the last 2 chukkas and they were at 9-10 when a penalty was awarded to Wastecorp with about 20 seconds left on the clock which they converted to win 11-9. The MVP was awarded to a popular and shy Will White. The Champion Pony was "Bali" played by Craig Wilson and the Team of Ponies were "Larger", "Hypher" and "Charm" played by DJ. It was good to see Ronnie out of hospital for the day to support his team.
