Team. The other teams competing in the event included BP Medical and Thomas Goode. The Duke of Cambridge played extremely well highlighting his athleticism and teamwork on the field as he led the U.S. Polo Assn. Team to a strong showing on the day.

U.S. Polo Assn. was honored to create custom-designed performance jerseys for all participating polo players, umpires and flaggers as well as special event caps for attendees. The annual event raised funds and global awareness for a number of important charities supported by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge including: Centrepoint, EACH, Family Action, Fields in Trust, Forward Trust, London Air Ambulance, Mountain Rescue & England & Wales, and Tusk.

“For the Duke of Cambridge to captain the U.S. Polo Assn. Team and for us to serve again as Official Apparel sponsor partnering with the Outsourcing Inc.

22nd Zürich International Ladies Polo Cup

Polo Helmets and Picnic Baskets

“Well, you won’t need those,” Morgan Van Overbroek said, as I staggered into Polo Park Zürich ‘s clubhouse weighed down with raincoat, cap and big umbrella. “Trust me,” she said, so I did.She was right. The rain held off for the final day of the 22nd International Ladies Polo Tournament on 4th July. Just as well, as Polo Park Zürich had a new concept for their spectators – reserved picnic spaces with baskets of delicious munchies, champagne and sun-umbrellas, combined with a general BYO picnic area for casual, spontaneous guests. There was to be a full day of polo with the finals of the Challenge League, followed by a spectacular competition for the winner of the Medium League.

Sunday, Fun-day

The first game started at 11:00, with friends and family present to fire on Team Polo Park Zürich vs Team Kensington. Team Polo Park Zürich comprising of Belen Podesta, Isabelle Rösch, Annette Fetscherin, and Claudia Ide sharing with Lea Köchli, produced a composed performance, hammering in goal after goal to give them an impressive tally of 11 on the scoreboard.

Team Kensington with Ann-Kathrin Braendle, Katalin Siklasi and the sharing combinations of Katarina Donhauser, Alex Weiss, Simone Bollinger and Elizabeth Schoh needed to sharpen their game. They did just that with Katalin on a brilliant little pony, Jorgi, zipping through gaps and putting pressure on the opposition. Ann-Kathrin broke free in the 4th chukker for a couple of clever goals. Too late, however and Team Polo Park Zürich came in at third place.

Teams Hato and Jolies Filles were next up playing for overall winner. The sister combination of Sue-Ann and Shiva-Cosma Strub aided by Gunilla Mannsdorff and Marta Gabrin stated off brightly with a grand display of link-up play and continued their aggressive game to put 4 goals on the scoreboard. They were quicker, more direct and better organised than Team Hato, despite Anja Gutbrod hopping on her favourite pony,Baila, in the second chukker and driving the ball sharply towards goal, only to be constantly blocked by Jolies Filles’s superior defence. Franziska Fuhrer enjoyed playing her 6 year old home breed, Mariposa, but she, with Lea Morel, Sibylle Grass, Nicole Boss and Kathrin Gralla completing Team Hato, could not find their playing rhythm. It was Jolies Filles who took the Challenge League Trophy.

Chilled Champagne and Competitive Fire

The picnic areas were filling up and the champagne glasses were clinking as the umpires called time for the start of the Medium League. The three teams had started their round-robin tournament on Saturday. Sunday was, therefore, a continuation of those games. We were in for some confident, fast-paced polo.

Team Estée Lauder had Laura Steinbach and Sammy-Joe Strub playing at Nrs. 1and 2, both putting in a mammoth effort in attack. Laura Fass was the player with the all-round vision at 3 and Ulrike Gabrin, usually an attacking player, was competently experimenting with a spell at defence.

However, it was the Team Perrier-Jöuet who snapped up second place.

Ann Meier battled hard, seizing the ball at every possible opportunity and powering down the field backed up by Aline Haerry. Kira Wetzel relentlessly wrestled openings for her Nr. 4 player, Polina Nazarova, to break through. Both players gave short displays of brilliance but were no match for the overall winner ,Team Clinique La Prairie, who used their first two chukkers to strengthen their position as tournament favourites. Beata Dudler, always a competent Nr.1, a constantly forward-orientated player, was able to combine well with Katja Grauweiler at Nr.2 to win line-outs and start attacking moves with real efficiency. Morgan Van Overbroek was pulling the strings at Nr.3 in a typically imposing fashion, ruthlessly exploiting any open spaces left by the opposition. Team Clinique La Prairie had Elena Venot as their Nr.4, a stand-out performer and highest handicapped player of the tournament at +6. There’s no doubt that she’s extremely talented, reading the game superbly and putting players into free spaces with the timing of her passes. We were offered a master-class in pace attack combined with the ability to remain calm under pressure. With this combination of experience and expertise, Team Clinique La Prairie took home the silver at 22nd International Ladies Tournament 2021.

Prizes all round
The prize-giving was held in front of the clubhouse with MVP of the Challenge League awarded to Belen Podesta and Elena Venot in the Medium League. BPP was Lebero, played by Elena Venot and owned by Sébastian Le Page.

The level and quality of play in women’s polo is improving every year, and Polo Park Zürich is playing a major part in this providing women’s tournaments, training and support.

Thank you, Polo Park Zürich

ELASTEN Ladies Cup 2021
VIEW POST

Public polo tournament from July 16-18, 2021 in the PoloPark Berlin

26 strong women fight action-packed in six teams at the only German women’s polo tournament this season in the PoloPark Berlin

The sport of polo is the fastest and one of the oldest team sports in the world. Tournaments with mixed teams, i.e. with players, are common. But this tournament weekend is 100% female. Six teams with a total of 26 experienced and successful polo players compete against each other for the trophies of the ELASTEN® Ladies Cup 2021.

90 polo horses are at the start. Christopher Kirsch, himself one of the best German polo players, will be the only man on the field as referee.

The fast-paced games are played at the highest polo level and demand the highest concentration, endurance, skill and fighting spirit from the horses (the polo ponies) and players.

The grass pitch in the PoloPark is 50,000 square meters. This corresponds to about four soccer fields.

The games start at 12:00 p.m. every day. Visitors are very welcome and can look forward to a varied weekend program in addition to the exciting chukka.

Admission is free.

All games are commented on in an entertaining manner. At the “White Night” on Saturday evening, the visitors meet the players in a get-together with the finest DJ music.

The usual Corona hygiene rules apply on the premises.

 

 

Handicap

Every polo player has her personal handicap (HPC) according to her individual performance level. This starts in the minus range and can go up to +10. The sum of the four individual handicaps gives the overall handicap of a polo team. If teams with different handicaps compete against each other, the team with the lower handicap receives a goal lead.

The high handicaps of the players, who are nationally and internationally among the best polo riders, promise high-class and fast-paced competitions. The Argentine player Fatima Balzano plays with her handicap of 6 at the top of the international league.

Namesake and title sponsor

The namesake and title sponsor of the Ladies Polo Cup 2021 is ELASTEN®, the well-known drinking collagen for beautiful skin from the inside all over the body. The No. 1 from Germany is once again presenting itself at a polo tournament.

 

 

Address of the venue
PoloPark Berlin und Polo Club Timmendorfer Strand e.V.
Seeburger Chaussee, 14624 Dallgow-Döberitz Ortsteil Seeburg (Directly on the B2 to Potsdam. Train stations and public transport are nearby)

Carbondale, CO, July 5, 2021— La Karina defeated Casablanca and McClure River Ranch in round robin play to take the Independence Cup title. Santa Rita beat Rancho Los Amigos by 11-9 in the Just for the Love of It Cup.

In the Independence Cup round robin, McClure River Ranch (Lauren Sherry, Alex Gooding, Nacho Figueras, and Nacho Novillo Astrada) took on La Karina (Sugar Erskine, Brian Boyd, Marc Ganzi, and Nic Roldan). La Karina dominated the first chukker, with Nic Roldan scoring the first goal with a neat near side shot. With 3:34 on the clock, Ganzi found the posts and Sugar Erskine followed up two minutes later with a goal of his own. With the clock running down and La Karina up 3-0, Nacho Figueras took command of the ball and made a bold run to goal to end the period 3-1.

Scoring went back and forth in the second chukker. Figueras scored two goals for his team while Ganzi and Roldan each put the ball through for La Karina to end the period 5-3. Roldan and Ganzi kept up the pressure in the final chukker, with each scoring again before Figueras could fight back with a goal. A final successful shot from Brian Boyd ended the first match 8-4 in favor of La Karina, giving the team in green a +4 for the first match and McClure River Ranch a -4.

McClure River Ranch stayed on the field for the second match against Casablanca (Govinda Quish, Grant Ganzi, Toro Ruiz, and Pablo Spinacci). Govinda Quish struck first, scoring a goal for Casablanca, with Ganzi and Spinacci following up to take the score to 3-0. Lauren Sherry got out in front to find the uprights for McClure River Ranch and the chukker ended with Casablanca up 3-1. The second period saw more back- and-forth play, with each team doing a good job on defense. Alex Gooding found the goal, with Toro Ruiz following up to end the chukker 4-2.

In the final period McClure River Ranch couldn’t get on the board while Ganzi converted a Penalty 2. Casablanca took the match by a score of 5-2, giving them +3 in the round robin. The loss took McClure River Ranch to -7.

In the final leg of the round robin, La Karina returned to the field to take on Casablanca in what promised to be an exciting game. La Karina dominated the first chukker, with consecutive goals from Marc Ganzi and Boyd before Grant Ganzi came back with an answer. Pablo Spinacci scored the first goal of the second period for Casablanca, but Marc Ganzi came back with a goal to keep La Karina in the lead 3-2. The final chukker saw a battle of attrition with both teams playing hard but unable to score. A foul allowed Toro Ruiz to convert a Penalty 4, ending the match in a 3-3 tie. Each team scored a 0 for the round robin. La Karina, with a total score of +4 overall, was victorious for the day. Nic Roldan took MVP honors.

Earlier in the day, Santa Rita (Melissa Ganzi, Alejandra Foster, Alejandro Novillo Astrada, and Juan Bollini) met Rancho Los Amigos (Paul Foster, Vinny Sangaline, Tomas Pieres, and Horacio Heguy) in the Just for the Love of It Cup, a subsidiary match in the Independence Cup.


MVP Nic Roldan with awards presenter Carolyn Likas.

Alejandra Foster drew first blood for Santa Rita, but goals from Vinny Sangaline and Paul Foster put Rancho Los Amigos ahead 2-1 at the end of the first chukker. The lead was not to last as Santa Rita came out with guns blazing in the second period and the ladies dominating the goal. Alejandra Foster put the first ball through the posts, then Melissa Ganzi contributed a pair of back-to-back goals to put Santa Rita in the lead. Foster got out in front for another successful shot, taking the score up to 5-2. At the last moment, just before the 30-second horn, Horacio Heguy passed the ball to Paul Foster in front of the goal, and he tapped it in to end the period with a goal for Rancho Los Amigos. Alejandra Foster repeated what was becoming a habit, scoring the first goal in Chukker 3. Husband Paul retaliated by finding the uprights, putting Rancho Los Amigos within two goals at 6-4. Right before the horn, Ganzi scored to end the half with Santa Rita in the lead 7-4.


Horacio Heguy leads the play.

Ganzi took over from Alejandra Foster to score the first goal of the fourth chukker, sinking a challenging angled shot from the right. At the halfway point in the period, Tomas Pieres scored his first goal of the match. Play went back and forth for the next three minutes, and the chukker ended 8-5. Ganzi started the pentultimate chukker with another set of back-to-back goals, and play continued with both teams playing a strong defense. Neither was able to score until Pieres passed the ball to Foster, who tapped it in as the horn sounded.


Vinny Sangaline reaches for the shot with Alejandra Foster on the defense.

With the score standing at 10-6 in favor of Santa Rita, Rancho Los Amigos went into the final chukker facing an uphill battle. However, they put up an impressive fight. Pieres scored the first goal of the period, then Ganzi retaliated by putting the ball through around half-chukker. Vinny Sangaline made a run downfield to score, and while the game was clearly lost, Horacio Heguy made a bold effort and found the goal at the horn. Santa Rita defeated Rancho Los Amigos by 11-9. Ganzi was the high scoring player with seven goals to her credit.

The UAE Polo Team win The Cartier Queen’s Cup 2021
VIEW POST

HH Sheikha Maitha bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the daughter of the Ruler of Dubai, and her UAE Polo Team won the Cartier Queen’s Cup 2021. They beat Scone Polo on The Queen’s Ground at Guards Polo Club in six exciting chukkas. Cartier has proudly sponsored this high-goal tournament since 2012 and has been a supporter of polo worldwide for more than 35 years. 

Fifteen world-class teams entered this year’s tournament and have been playing over the past three weeks in a bid to reach the final. The Cartier Queen’s Cup final was a thrilling and competitive match. HH Sheikha Maitha and the UAE Polo Team defeated David Paradice’s Scone Polo, adding their name to the trophy for the first time. Scone Polo were favourites to win this final as they feature the World’s Number One player Adolfo Cambiaso and his talented, 15-year-old son Adolfo Cambiaso Junior but some fabulous play from the UAE Polo Team’s Tomy Beresford, Tomas Panelo and Polito Pieres ensured that the UAE team won 10-6.

 

 

HH Sheikha Maitha received the prestigious silver cup from Cartier UK Managing Director, Laurent Feniou. Team-mate, 21-year-old Tomas Panelo was named the Cartier Most Valuable Player, while JB Bleach, an 11-year-old chestnut mare, owned by the UAE Polo Team and played this afternoon by Polito Pieres received the Cartier Best Playing Pony prize. This pony was bred by the former England polo team captain James Beim. 

Before the main match presentations, Laurent Feniou presented the trophy to the Park Place team. This subsidiary final had been played for earlier in the day. Park Place, without their injured patron Andrey Borodin, defeated Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha’s King Power team 12-9 in a close game that delivered some wonderfully fast-paced polo. King Power’s patron did not go home empty handed though as he was named the Most Valuable Player.

Cartier was delighted to celebrate the Cartier Queen’s Cup final once again in the company of friends of the Maison. Guests enjoyed an intimate lunch and afternoon tea in the Cartier enclosure, followed by this exciting polo match. Amongst notable attendees were Cartier Ambassadors Ramla Ali and Maisie Williams. Ikram Abdi, Grace Carter, Ellie Goulding, Laura Haddock, Michael Halpern, Naomie Harris, Damson Idris, Christopher Kane, Candice Lake, Tinie Tempah, Saffron Vadher, Micheal Ward.

The first edition of the POLO RIDER CUP, which ended on 20th June, hosted 12 teams from 8 different countries. This unique 10-day international event proved to showcase a top class performance and a high level of competition among the teams.

This first-of-its-kind polo event was a great success for everyone involved, and GAME Polo would like to thank all the teams, federations, sponsors, media, guests and staff who contributed to this outstanding result.

Olivier Godallier, President & Co-Founder of GAME Polo, comments: “This first edition of the POLO RIDER CUP was amazing and GAME Polo would like to thank the Federation of International Polo (FIP), the French Polo Federation, the Polo Club de Chantilly, all the teams and players, authorities, partners, suppliers, media and spectators for all their support to make this happen. Without each and every one of you, it would not have been possible to reach the goals that we set out to achieve.  This is just the beginning of a long journey and we are very proud and grateful you were part of it.”
