Signed lower right Goal! At Last. The End Of "Pat" Roark's Swing That Ended The Famous 12 Chukka Match Between Roslyn And Hurricanes 1929.
Not one, not two, not three, but four sudden death periods after a regulation eight made the September 4th game between Roslyn and the Hurricanes of the 1929 matches for the US Open at Meadow Brook Polo Club, the longest official match on record.
Pre-WWII high-goal polo in America was played for eight chukkers. At halftime, Laddie Sanford's team, the Hurricanes, led 7-1, but by the end of regulation play, after a heroic comeback effort by Roslyn led by the Hoppings, father and son, the score was tied at 7-7. Neither team then was able to score until the fourth sudden death chukker as the moon was rising over the grandstand. It was the Hurricanes that carried the day. They went on to be the U.S. Open champions. As reported in the October 1929 Polo Magazine, the match was “one to live forever in polo memory.”
Captain Charles Thomas Irvine "Pat" Roark (1895–1939) was an English polo player. He held a ten goal handicap at the peak of his career.
He played for England in the International Polo Cup in 1927 and 1930. He won the US Open Polo Championship with his team, the Hurricanes in 1926, 1929 and 1930. He also captained the victorious Hurricanes (polo) team in the Roehampton Cup in 1928 and 1931. less
