Park Place won against La Fe Eastern Hay by a score of 14-8 in the quarter finals of the USPA Gold Cup at the National Polo Center on Sunday 16th March.
While La Fe Eastern Hay started strong, Park Place found their rhythm and equalised quickly before they started to pile on the pressure, pulling away thanks to 8 field goals. Try as they might La Fe Eastern Hay just could not find the posts with just 4 of their 24 shots to goal converted. Park Place proved their tried and tested line up leads to a cool head and a solid performance with Britos and Ulloa perfectly in sync creating dynamic, systematic attacking plays down the field supported by the latest addition to the side Louis Hine.
The win will see them go up against the strong La Dolfina Catamount side, winners of the first quarter final in their semi final match on Wednesday 19th March.
