Capturing their second victory in the Cartier Queen’s Cup, White Crane overcome zero goals in the first half to produce a strong second half and capture the 10-7 victory over Thai Polo NP at Noel Farm.
Holding a two-goal advantage on handicap, White Crane were unable to convert any of their six shot attempts in the first half but responded with four field goals and four penalty goals in the second half to take the victory over Thai Polo NP. Nico Pieres led the White Crane attack with seven goals, while James Harper highlighted a good defensive showing that limited Thai Polo NP to just two penalty attempts and three goals throughout the second half. Despite shooting under 30% from the field in the game, later conversions and additional opportunities from the penalty line pushed White Crane to the 10-7 win. 
In the opening chukka, Juan Gris Zavaleta found Louis Hine with a pass to open the scoring and cut White Crane’s lead on handicap in half, but that proved to be the only scoring of the chukka with Thai Polo NP unable to convert any of their other three attempts at goal. The duo of Louis Hine and Zavaleta connected two more times in the second chukka to give Thai Polo NP their first lead of the game. Holding White Crane without a field goal or penalty goal in the opening half, Thai Polo NP maintained the two-goal advantage leading into halftime.
The defensive game carried into the start of the second half with Thai Polo NP unable to record a goal for the second consecutive chukka, while White Crane finally broke through on a Penalty 2 conversion from Pieres. A decisive fifth chukka changed the game in favour of White Crane thanks to the outstanding performance of Pieres. Scoring five goals in the chukka, two coming from the penalty line and three from the field, Pieres proved to be nearly unstoppable as White Crane took the lead at 8-5 heading into the final chukka. Andre Blake Thomas completed a run of four straight goals for White Crane that ultimately put the game out of reach, with two late goals for Thai Polo NP leaving them three goals short in the 10-7 defeat.
