The visiting Australian polo team completed a sporting double yesterday when they followed up the Wallabies’ win over the Springboks in Durban on Saturday with a 6-5 victory over South Africa in the first Test of the BMW International Polo Series at a rain-soaked Shongweni Club near Durban watched ironically by the rugby Springboks who were guests of honour.
The game was very closely fought throughout and only won by the Australians at the end of the final Chukka. Andrew Williams of the Australian team won man-of-the-match although all eight players deserved a medal for playing in such difficult conditions.
This means Australia go to the final Test at the Inanda Club in Sandton on Sunday with a 6-5 advantage. Weather forecast is looking good at the moment so we can hopefully look forward to some sunshine and exciting polo.
This was an awesome game!!!!!
