They were joined by Alan Nash, of Fairfax, and Richmond resident and foxhunter Phil Staples, also rated at two and three goals. The visitors’ polo pdnies were supplied by Mr. Fannon, as well as Travis Worsham of Clifton and Dr. Steve Seager of The Plains, among others. Mr. Seager and George Greenhalgh of Berryvilie were the game’s umpires.
Because of the higher handicap rating of the U.S. team, Scotland began play with two points, a lead which they quickly widened to a comfortable 5-2 margin by the game’s second chukka with goals being scored by the two junior members of the team. However, the older and more experienced U.S. team quickly whittled down that lead, and a score in the last period by Mr. Staples tied the score at seven. Due to a horse shortage, the players all shook hands and left the score as a tie between the U.S. and Scotland. The game’s highscoring players were Villegas and Prentice, each scoring four goals.
Mr. Prentice thanked Mr. Fannon for the use of his excellent polo ponies, and all the visitors commented on the scenic polo field.
The visitors, who returned home Sunday, all plan to return in the near future.
