W ell, the wild spring weather has arrived concurrent with the spring season of polo at LCPC. First on slate was the $5,000 Bob Moore Construction Cup. The tournament was kicked off with a genuine Argentine barbeque held on field one immediately following the first match. Despite threats of severe weather in the area, LCPC was spared, and the bbq was a popular and enjoyable affair.

This 8-12 goal tournament was originally supposed to run May 3-14, but lots of wet weather pushed it back to May 11-21, and now rain has delayed the finals to an as-of-yet undetermined date. The tournament roster is as follows:

CMC:
Billy Mudra (4), Tony Vita (4), George Olivas (4), and Jesse Pruitt (0)

Crosswood
Robin Murphy (0), Brent Mirikatani (3), Mariano Fasseta (5), and Daryl Schwetz (4)

Intertrade:
Brian Boyd (1), Jeff Mero (3), Cuko Escapite (3), and Sam Leake (1)

Mallethead:
Ross Haislip (1), Oscar Bermudez (4), J.J. Celis (6), and Dan Leland (1)

Margaritaville:
Margaret Holland (0), Archie Salinas (4), Martin Estrada (6), and Hal Oppenheimer (2)

Ortho Polo:
John Greer (0), Gabriel Gracida (5), Miguel Silvestre (5), and Barry Zindel (2)

Stover Creek:
Ed Scanlon (1), Craig Frasier (2), Chad Kraml (4), and John Eicher (4)

Sunday May 14 saw two matches of the tournament: at 2pm, on field 2, Intertrade met Crosswood , and at 5pm on field 1 , Stover Creek faced Mallethead . The weather was fabulous, and the fields played beautifully.

The finals will be CMC versus Mallethead, with the consolation finals seeing Margaritaville taking on Crosswood.

The next tournament on slate: The 8-12 goal $10,000 Merrill Lynch Challenge.
