THE DIGICEL-SPONSORED men’s team of Stewart Gill, Richard Gooding, Christian Chavez and Jeff Evelyn trounced the visiting United States of America (USA) Villages polo team 9 ½ goals to six in Tuesday’s opening game of the three-game tournament at the Holders grounds in St James.
Fresh from their comprehensive victory in Sunday’s final against the Kenyans, Barbados raced to a 3 ½ goal lead by the end of the first chukka after starting with a ½ goal handicap advantage.
It was the combination of Gooding, Chavez and Evelyn, with good support from Gill playing at No. 1, that reduced the Americans to mere pedestrians in the opening chukka.
Barbados extended the lead to 6 ½ -0 by doubling the score by the end of the second chukka. (CH)
