UBS Presents Governor's Cup and Sunday Funday

August 3, 2022

What a day!  We had a blast on Sunday, August 7th during the final match of the 2022 Governor’s Cup. UBS, Mira Vista/Wicked Windy Ranch, Coors and Colorado competed for the title, with UBS name prevailing over Coors in a 8 to 6 win.

The intense final match up between UBS and Coors went back and forth through all four chukkers with Mark Wates scoring the final goal to send UBS on top. Luke Clarke (UBS) was named MVP after being an integral member of his team throughout the whole tournament scoring multiple goals and assists. Erica Gandomcar’s bay mare Mercedes was named Best Playing Pony. Craig Russell played the mare saying she was wonderful to play and you could tell she loved the game.

Also on tap were ponies (big and small) mingling with the crowd, Palomino Pony cocktails (a Pimm’s Cup) and commemorative mugs from the Nearside Bar. Thank you to everyone who came out to play with us!
