Wahine Tournament
Maui Polo Club hosted the "Wahine"
(Hawaiian for women) Tournament.
3 teams competed in a 2 day round robin format. The first game was played on
Friday October 26 th. at the Maui Polo Club Outdoor Polo field in Upcountry Maui
on the slopes of the extinct volcano Haleakala.
The Teams:
| North Shore Ind. | Hanalei Bay | Gonzales Hay |
| Kate Weber | Susan Stovall | Jenny Gonzales |
| Valerie Vairetta | Karma Havas | Lyn Baldwin |
| Sisi Martin | Krista Hawley | Nancy Porter |
| Celia Goodman | Dory Weymouth | Leslie Heltzen |
The visiting "Wahines", Susan Stovall, Jenny
Gonzales and Kate Weber each captained a team. With all the Maui girls backing
them up, action was fast and the crowd loved every minute of this first ever
Wahine Challenge which was sponsored by Tequiza beer.
The final round robin was played on Sunday September 26 th. North Shore
Industries entered the field with confidence after winning against both teams on
Friday. That edge proved to be decisive as North Shore kept the lead again in
both games, taking home the win.
Maui Polo Club would like to thank Susan, Kate and Jenny for coming to
Maui to share their experience on and off the field with all the Maui
"Wahine" players.

earning a trip to the finals. The other team in the finals was yet to be
determined by the winner of a round robin between the rest of the teams. Hanalei
proved to be to hot to handle, with 6 goal Kimo Huddleston at the helm, easily
advancing to the finals after winning the round robin on Friday, as Maui Polo
saw 2 great games on a weekday. The finals were played on Sunday September 19.
Once again Kimo Huddleston showed why he is 6 goals, a demonstration of
horsemanship and mallet work through out the game. Herman Louis Decoite and his
son Ka'aina made Kimo earn his pay, as they made great plays keeping the game
close, the crowd loved the father and son team attacking and defending in
unison.
Hanalei Bay won the 6 goal tournament.
