Grant Palmer and his Antelope 8 Goal polo team (Grant Palmer -1, Santiago Trotz 5, Carolyn Anier 1, Remy Du Celliee Muller 3) came into the final game of the Fish Creek Cup against John Rooney and Northern Blizzard (John Rooney 1, Joe Henderson 4, Dayelle Fargey 1, Jimmy Wright 2) with the earlier Eldorado Cup loss to the same team etched firmly into their minds.Based on the way this one ultimately turned out, Antelope had every intention of not only winning this one, but avenging the loss in a big way.From the start it was obvious that Trotz had prepared the younger Palmer and Co. extremely well as they counted three unanswered goals in the first period to lead 3 - 0.Northern Blizzard recovered somewhat in the second chukker and were able to play even with each team grabbing a goal.Antelope outplayed the northerners in the third with two markers to just one and led by four at 6 - 2 going to the half.The trend continued in the fourth as Antelope again outscored Northern Blizzard to end the stanza with the count now 8 - 3.Not content to sit back and rest on a rather substantial cushion, the Junior Pronghorns took absolute control in the penultimate frame to strike four times to but one in reply. The lead was now eight at 12 - 4.The northerners counted one in the sixth to produce a final score of 12 - 5 and Palmer and his Company had not only won the Fish Creek Cup 8 Goal Tournament, but in doing so, had stopped the long and successful Northern Blizzard run.For the winners, Du Celliee Muller scored five times, Trotz counted four from the field and one penalty two, and Palmer added one. It should be noted that Anier was a huge contributor playing a strong two-way running game.The reply from Northern Blizzard saw Rooney count a pair, Wright converted a penalty four and scored once from the field, and Henderson scored a 75 yard safety.Playing a very open and accurate style of polo earned Du Celliee Muller the title of MVP and Samoa, owned and played by Trotz in the fifth was chosen as the Best Playing Pony.Tony Gregg
