Orchard Hill - 11, Audi - 9

Earlier in the day, Orchard Hill scored an 11-9 win over Audi in the finals of the Bobby Barry Cup, the subsidiary tournament of the Joe Barry memorial Cup.

Audi took the early lead on the strength of goals from Lucas Lalor and Nic Roldan. Orchard Hill climbed back into it with a goal from Facundo Obregon to end the chukker. Audi held a fragile 2-1 edge.

Both teams struggled with their shots on goal in the second frame. Lalor finally scored with 2:53 left in the chukker, but a final goal from Obregon kept the Audi lead at a single goal, 3-2.

Lalor scored the opening goal of the third period, but that was as much offense as Audi could broker. Consecutive goals from Kris Kampsen, Lucas Criado and Obregon had Orchard Hill ahead at 5-4 at the end of the first half.

Roldan tie it at 5-5 to open the fifth, and Rodrigo Andrade put Audi back on top, 6-5, with his first goal of the day. Marc Ganzi’s scored from the field to give Audi a two goal lead, 7-5. Criado put Orchard Hill ahead, 7-6 when a gruesome crash sent Kampsen crashing to the ground. A shoulder injury had Kampsen leaving the field, with Brandon Phillips filling in for the balance of the chukker. Phillips just missed tying it up with a run at the Audi goal, but with 1:49 left in the period, Criado struck pay dirt and scored the tying goal, 7-7.

Pablo Spinacci took the place of Phillips for the final chukker as Roldan gave the lead back to Audi on a penalty conversion, 8-7. Criado tied it up once again, 8-8, on a beautifully executed shot under the belly of the horse. Goals from Criado and Obregon had Orchard Hill in front 10-8, but Lucchese continued to press its attack. Andrade got Audi on the scoreboard one last time with a goal from the field with 2:27 left to play. A final goal from Criado did the final damage as Orchard Hill took the 11-9 win and the 2012 Bobby Barry Cup
Criado scored six times for Orchard Hill. Obregon added four and Kampsen scored one goal in the win.

Criado took double honors in the finals, picking up Best Playing Pony honors for Parejo, a 10-year-old Argentine chestnut, while being named MVP for his efforts.
