Purango Dolo

With a 10-7 victory over the Fort Collins crew, Foco Polo. Stompaz took 3rd with a hard fought win over Foco Polo Tebow. The Roaring Fork Ladies took a convincing win in their first Can Cup appearance, over the Durango Ladies who have won 3 Cups in the past. Besides all that, it was a great day of polo. Great food, music, drink and conversation on the sidelines. Looks like we have the Cup for now and rumor has Fort Collins wants to host one around either 420 or Tour de Fat. We want to put it out there that Ouray town park and hot springs and finals at the outdoor hockey rink would be amazing in august. Its polo time, Happy Snolo!

Rumor has a date of Nov 2nd for the Colorado Can Cup. Location TBD

Howdy poloists of the bici grass kind…
