On a beautiful day of the closing weekend of the Houston Polo Club's spring season, two powerhouses, Tonkawa and ERG, went toe to toe for the finals of the 12 team Livingston Memorial.  From the first throw in both teams were flying with Tonkawa's Matt Coppola drawing first blood.  Marcos Alberdi for ERG was quick to respond with a nice run from midfield to tie it one to one.  Tonkawa led for most of the first half with Coppola, Cody Ellis and Jeff Hildebrand all scoring, but ERG snuck in a few late goals in the third chukker to go into halftime leading by one.

Tonkawa started strong in the fourth from good team plays from Coppola and Ellis, putting themselves up by two midway through the fifth, but the experience from team captain, Michel Dorignac showed, as he directed his troops and ended the chukker only down by one.  The sixth chukker was running and gunning with ERG adding two unanswered goals, the second one being with only ten seconds left in the game to seal the victory.  Cody Ellis was named MVP and Matt Coppola's homebred stud horse, Sun Dance, took home the blanket for best playing pony.
