ERG's dynamic duo, Michel Dorignac and Mike Azzaro, started out focused and quickly gained a two goal lead over Ghurka after the first chukker. Ghurka's Sugar Erskine responded in the second chukker with two beautiful coast to coast goals quickly tying up the game. However, Mike Azzaro and Duilio Diaz kept hammering in the goals maintaining ERG's three goal lead going into the third chukker.
