Talandracas wins spectacular final under the rain
Facundo Sola scored the winning goal in extra chukka, to secure Talandracas a 9-8 and won the Queen's Cup, in a thrilling and spectacular final held on the Queen's Ground, at Guards Polo Club.
A cold and rainy Sunday was awaiting on the Queen's Ground, Guards Polo Club's main ground. It was certainly a Sunday to stay safe at home, but no matter what, people arrived to Guards to attend the final of the club's main competition, The Queen's Cup.

Enigma dominated the match and the score, to the point to reach a 5-1 lead by the second chukka. That was a headache for Edouard Carmignac and his boys, who had the tough job to battle back such advantage. They did it in the third period, when they closed the gap to one goal (5-4 in favour of Enigma). The scoreboard read a 5-all in the fourth chukka, but in the next, Enigma went back t the lead, 8-6. Talandracas' was not about to give up, and tied in the last chukka to sent the match into OT. That was when the goal by Facundo Sola secured Talandracas their first Queen's Cup ever.
Milo Fernández Araujo was the winners' best player; he took very well deserved MVP honors. Plus, they had the endless strength of Lucas Monteverde, and one boy called Facundo Sola, who is already one of the best players of the UK season, with a 10-goaler future ahead.
