Sporting Results: Sunshine Coast Polo
Talent Shines through at Gympie Polo
International horsepower was on show as Gympie Mary Valley Polo Club (GMVPC) completed its first tournament for the season last weekend. The Shine Lawyers sponsored “Shiners” team ran out winners. The two-week tournament culminated in an epic final between Gympie Outdoor Power Equipment & The Shiners. The hard-fought match saw the lead change in every one of the 4 chukkas. A last-minute goal to exciting Polocrosse convert, and man of the match, 18 year old, Beau Moore tipped the scales to the Lawyers. Captain Tim Scott, the Gold Coast’s Simone Quilligan and sixteen year-old Kandanga resident Sarah Simpson proved too tough for Outdoor Power’s Brett Hansen, Phil Dowling, Danny Cook and Chris Leacy.
The weekend belonged to Moore however, especially when riding Nadine Newman-Dempster imported thoroughbred polocrosse mare “Shania”.
“Beau just outplayed the opposition on some smoking ponies” said Club President Jack Millbank in the presentation speech.
GMVPC’s next major tournament is the Dowling Cup on June 6 & 7. With members from Bundaberg to the Gold Coast, west to Goomeri and across the Sunshine Coast and hinterland, GMVPC is now Queensland’s fastest growing Polo Club.
