The final game of Day 3 in the 2021 Justerini & Brooks Prince of Wales Trophy featured a relentless Thai Polo offense produce twice as many shots as Schockemohle to capture the 10-6 victory.
Despite shooting just 2 for 9 from the field, Schockemohle had their opportunities to win the game, receiving eight penalty attempts, but managed to convert just four. Goals proved to be hard to come by from the field as both teams finished below 30% shooting to goal, but Thai Polo continued to pressure Schockmohle throughout the game to produce 20 shots. Beginning with two goals on handicap, Thai Polo was led by Rufino Bensadon’s five goals to finish with the 10-6 victory.
Schockemohle set their sights on erasing the two-goal deficit in the first chukka, receiving a goal from Clement Delfosse while holding Thai Polo scoreless to trail 2-1. That proved to be the only offense Schockemohle could muster in the first half, going scoreless over the second and third chukkas to allow Thai Polo to build a lead. Heavily outshooting Schockemohle, Thai Polo had an opportunity to take a strong hold on the game, receiving two goals from Bensadon and one from Louis Hine as they held a 5-1 lead at halftime.
A decisive fourth chukka in favour of Thai Polo was ultimately a key factor in the outcome as Schockemohle saw their deficit grow to six, unable to produce any offense form the field. Passing forward, Louis Hine assisted on two goals in the fourth chukka, while Bensadon added tow more goals along with one for Ned Hine to give Thai Polo a commanding 8-2 advantage. Schockemohle tried to work their way back into the game from the penalty line, but the deficit was too large to overcome in the final two chukkas as Thai polo managed their lead to capture the 10-6 win.
