Final Scores: Park Place 12 vs 7 Twelve Oaks | Venue: Zacara Grounds
Back in action after a last-minute loss to Talandracas, Park Place was determined to capture their first victory against Twelve Oaks. After a scoreless first chukka, Park Place established an early lead from the field, outscoring Twelve Oaks 3-1, with goals from the powerful shooting duo of Facundo Pieres and Francisco Elizalde.
Struggling to match the offensive firepower of Park Place from the field, Twelve Oaks relied on Joaquin Pittaluga to convert from the 60-yard line for his second goal of the match. Before the end of the half, Park Place found their rhythm again, producing three more goals, two off the mallet of Elizalde, to complete a solid finish to the half and double up Twelve Oaks on the scoreboard at 6-3.
After Twelve Oaks’ Pittaluga and Park Place’s Pieres traded field goals early in the second half, Park Place began to pull away with a dominant fifth chukka. Elizalde’s efficient performance on the day extended Park Place’s lead while receiving contributions from young Louis Hine on his first goal of the match. Park Place scored rapidly, scoring all of their goals from the field, leaving Twelve Oaks struggling to match the pace with time expiring.
Two more penalty goals for Pittaluga kept Twelve Oaks’ chances alive. Still, a tough Park Place defence halted any hopes for a comeback as they did not allow a single shot at goal in the final chukka, leaving Pieres to cap off a successful five-goal day on back-to-back drives to end the match 12-7 in favour of Park Place.
