Sudden Death Knockout in the Finals of The King’s Cup Elephant Polo Tournament 2011

After a fun and ferocious week of elephant polo, attended by teams from all over the world as well as special VIP guests, the final day of the tournament offered up a showcase of skillful play and plenty of memorable moments.

Heavy rain delayed the final match for more than an hour before a sudden death shoot out was called. The shoot out placed two stellar teams on the pitch, both of them full of storied elephant polo histories and exceptional players. Audemars Piguet’s Angaad and Uday Kalaan and rock solid Captain Peter Prentice proved too much for second-place King Power International, just as it had been for all the other teams.

Semi finals day of play at the King’s Cup Elephant Polo tournament, saw Audemars Piguet and King Power deliver triumphant victories over a strong Sara Story Design and Kasikorn Bank to go head to head in the finals on Sunday.

The first semi final match of the day saw last year’s champions Audemars Piguet against newcomers, Sara Story Design. At the start of the match it looked like the designers from New York may upset the game by taking the upper hand from Audemars Piguet - consisting of Captain Peter Prentice and the untouchable Kalaan brothers, Angaad and Uday. Angad Kalaan provided a number of long passes making it easy for elephant polo extraordinaire, Peter Prentice, to score for the team.

Superior skills and strategy delivered a solid win for the King Power team over the almighty PricewaterhouseCoopers New Zealand All Blacks ending their chance for a place in the semi finals on the fourth day of play at the King’s Cup Elephant Polo tournament in Hua Hin.

King Power opened up the first chukker with sound technical knowledge to unwind the All Black’s solid early play. Strong defence from All Black’s rugby player, Robin Brooke, wasn’t enough and the King Power team - consisting of Captain Tom Claytor and Thailand’s finest players Apichet Raksriskasorn and Nattapong Pratumlee - scored the first six goals consecutively.
