Four Quarters Orange Win Autumn Cup

Sunday the 22nd of September saw Four Quarters Orange take on Maiz Dulce in the final 12-goal of the season battling it out for the Autumn Cup, on a bustling Ambersham 1. 

Playing for Four Quarters Orange Simon Arber (0) rode out at 1, with Josh Hyde (2) at 2, 6-goaler Simon Prado at 3, and Tom Morley (4) at Back. In the yellow shirts for Maiz Dulce Millie Barfoot (0) wore the number 1 shirt, with Alfie Hyde (3) at 2, Will Harper (4) at 3, and 5- goaler Will Emerson at Back.   

The very closely battled game saw mirrored scores throughout, taking it all down to the final chukka with Four Quarters Orange ultimately emerging victorious defending their title in the tournament, 5 goals to 4. 

The first chukka saw an opening goal from Prado with Emerson quickly responding with a goal for Maiz Dulce, leaving everyone equal on a goal apiece after the first. The second and third chukka saw a very similar story with another goal for both Prado and Emerson in each chukka, taking both sides into the final chukka on 3-3. With all to play for both teams went into the final chukka with determination, with another goal for both Prado and Emerson making an extra chukka look imminent, but a brilliant field goal by Prado in the final moments of the game left Four Quarters Orange taking home the victory. 

The Autumn Cup was presented to a delighted Simon Arber by Rebecca Nightingale, Prestige Development Manager at Gusbourne. The Gusbourne MVP award was given to Simon Prado for his outstanding goal-scoring efforts in the game, with his horse ‘Power Lustrosa’ being presented with the No.3 Gin Pursuit of Perfection Best Playing Pony rug, played and owned by himself.
