Tue 9th Aug 2022Silver Cup Success for BenSoleimani.com Jeff Hall’s tenth tournament title
On Sunday 7 August, BenSoleimani.com secured their first Farmers & Merchants Bank Silver Cup title at Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club (SBPRC) following a 10-13 win against L.E.N.Y. in the fifth chukka. Both teams had met earlier in the tournament which saw BenSoleimani.com narrowly take an 11-10 win, so it was all to play for come Final’s Day. L.E.N.Y. received a one goal handicap advantage and quickly made the most, with Kristos ‘Keko’ Magrini breaking away to increase L.E.N.Y.’s lead to 2-0, however BenSoleimani.com swiftly replied and took the lead and by half-time were ahead, 8-5. Focusing on closing the gap, a field goal from Paquito de Narvaez cut L.E.N.Y.’s deficit to two, but three unanswered goals from Criado Jr. kept BenSoleimani.com firmly in control and by the start of the last chukka, BenSoleimani.com held a comfortable three goal lead, which they were able to build upon with a further goal from Laprida, which extinguished any hopes of a last-minute comeback by L.E.N.Y. This was Jeff Hall’s tenth Silver Cup win having also secured the title in 1997, 1999, 2000, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2014, 2020 and he was also named Most Valuable Player, while Open Kilovatio, owned by Ben Soleimani and played by Iñaki Laprida was the Best Playing Pony.
