24 Jun 2011
Australia will join India and Pakistan in this year’s FIP Polo World Cup Finals in San Luis, Argentina from Oct 11-25 after beating South Africa in the playoff for third and fourth placing today.
It was a heartbreak for South Africa as Australia staged a remarkable fight back , from 6-2 down after the second chukka to 8-8 in the fifth. In the sixth and final chukka, Australia pushed up a gear to run out 12-9 winners and qualify for their 2nd world cup finals.
Australia got their goals through by Matt Grimes scoring 5 goals, 4 by Alec White, 2 by Ed Gold and 1 by Zac Hagedoorn while South Africa scorers were Lance Watson 7 goals and one each by Johann Du Preez and Campbell Macnab.

In the first match of the afternoon India, who had ½ goal advantage, beat Australia 5 ½ goals to 5 in thrilling match. Samir Suhag stole the show with four goals. The Indian 5-goaler was in excellent form. Vishal Chauhan scored the other.
Australian scorers were Zac Hagedorn and Matt Grimes (2 each) and Alec White one.
Australia had been considered favourites to win that game but the Indian defence was excellent. The teams were so evenly matched that it became a low-scoring affair as both teams cancelled each other out.
Australia will play New Zealand in their next match on Friday 17th June.
We wish our team the best of luck.
