This five-goal tournament has been staged in Scone since 1957 and the names of many well known Australian polo playing identities embellish the Cup

With a weekend of superb weather, players from clubs around Australia, and even a team from Canada, the stage was set for a weekend of fierce competition.

The Bong Bong five goal team consisted of Dick Doolin, Adam Mealy, Dan Roberts and Tristan Warner. They were drawn against a team from Beersheba.

The large crowd witnessed a brilliant game of polo.

The game started at a very ferocious pace and at the end of the first chukka, Bong Bong was 2–1 down. Things got even worse for the Southern Highland team as the lead extended for the Beersheba team. At the end of the third chukka they lead 5 -1.

The start of the fourth was a complete turnaround. Bong Bong stepped up to the plate and put away four unanswered goals to tie the two teams. A goal a piece was scored in the fifth and no score for either team in the sixth.

With the scores deadlocked at the end of normal time, the game went into a unusual seventh golden goal chukka, causing both sides to have problems in pony logistics brought about by the extra unplanned seventh chukka .

This seventh chukka was dramatic, volatile and exciting, as all players lifted in their game intensity in attempt to hit the winning goal.

With dramatic twists and turns, Bong Bong finally put away a great forehand goal from Adam Mealy to win the game and send Bong Bong into the final.

The Bong Bong team played the final the next day against a great team from Windsor, who booked their final berth by defeating the Canadian six goal team.

The Windsor team consisted of Kate Edmeads, Ed Matties, Mark Tolhurst and Shane Fagin. Mark Tolhurst was a previous winner of the J.R.C. Davies Cup with his Windsor team in 1986.

Both teams started off at an extremely fast pace, but the game seemed to get away from the team from Windsor by the halfway mark.

There were moments of brilliance by both teams, but the Bong Bong team - driven on relentless by their captain Adam Mealy - won the game 8 – 5 at the end of the sixth chukka, thus allowing BBPC to lift the J.R.C. Davies Cup for 2005 and bring it back to the Highlands.

As an added bonus, Dick Doolin was awarded the Wootton Trophy for best pony playing in B grade, with his pony, a handsome five-year-old 14.3 hands dark brown stallion "Chivas", born and bred in Victoria.
