VS King Power took a 11-9 debut win over Marchfield in the third day of competition of the Prince of Wales Trophy, that took place on King Power’s grounds (Score VS King Power: 3-1, 4-4, 6-5, 7-7, 9-8, 11-9).
The match was very balanced, and could be anyone’s contest. Marchfield, playing 22-goal in England for the first time, presented battle to a more experienced VS King Power foursome. The game was decided in the final chukka, with Polito Pieres sealing the 11-9 win with a goal in the last second. There was also some extra spice, as it was the clash between two members of La Dolfina and Ellerstina – Pablo MacDonough (Marchfield) and Polito Pieres (VS King Power), respectively.
