After the Friday round robin, all teams had a good chance of winning the tournament. Continuing play on Sunday, after 6 great chukers of arena polo, Maui Mountain Cruisers had the edge, with two wins and no losses. Although they did not look to be the strongest team on Friday, great individual efforts by all 3 players on Sunday proved to be more than enough to take home the coveted Sherman Memorial award. Congratulations to all players that participated, and especially to the champions!!!

Coming up: The Manoa Cup, on Fathers day.
