The Coronation Cup - England vs Australia - Result

27 Jul 2008

The Coronation Cup was played on 27th July 2008 at the Guards Polo Club in Windsor, England.

England beat Australia 10-9 in the Cartier International. It was a thrilling, fast, high quality game. A well fought contest.

Australia hit 9 behinds to England 4. The 3rd Chukka was not good for Australia. We lost 3 goals. Fought back but just not enough.

In the last 30 seconds an attempt at goal failed to tie Australia with England.

The game was extremely exciting & close with a superb level of horsemanship and skill displayed by all the players.

Congratulations to England.


Most Valuable Player:

Luke Tomlinson, England

Best Playing Pony:

"Nona", Ellerston horse played by Ruki Baillieu, Australia

Thanks to the kind generosity of Mrs. Ros Packer/Ellerston who supplied the mounts for Damien Johnston.

Congratulations to all.
