Billy Walsh - Vendetta vs Braemar Farms
|
|
| In the first game of the final tournament for 2017 Vendetta took on Braemar Farms. Vendetta fielded their familiar lineup with the one new addition of Jimbo Fewster fresh off the back of winning this year's Gold Cup. Braemar farms featured Ricardo Paganelli along with Litzi and Patrick Teroede with another Gold Cup winner in the form of Ali Paterson. |
|
| Braemar Farms took the first chukka by storm with a 3 goal unanswered lead over Vendetta. After an end of chukka team talk the Vendetta team came back to the field with a point to prove, drawing the scores by half time. In the second half Jimbo Fewster took control of the game with Jimmy Wood notching up a formidable lead that belied their first chukka performance. |
|
| Vendetta took the win at the final bell 9 goals to 5. This put them in a good position going into the midweek games. |
