Thomas Scheuse from the Rein Polo Club Düsseldorf: „In almost every team exciting offensive polo was exhibited by a three-goaler, it seemed like balls and horses just ‘flew over the field’. The teams were very balanced which allowed for very close matches. Unfortunately, it was different a few years ago; we didn’t have such great luck with the weather. Between the rain and the hooves the first field of the RPCD took a tough beating on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday, we moved to the second tournament field, which was still in great condition, only to play in both hail and rain. Polo is polo: all the matches were played in their full time! The Rhein Polo Club keeps proving, in every way, that it hosts great tournaments, also – or especially – in low-goal polo. We are happy and already excited to have the German Championship in our club.”
