Charity final raises more than \u00a36,000 for Smart Works Reading and Guards Polo Club announce new tournament sponsor from 2021<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Siri Bazzoni\u2019s MT Vikings confirmed their dominance in ladies\u2019 polo by securing the Guards Ladies Charity Polo Final for the Lord Patrick Beresford Trophy, 4\u00bd – 4,  <\/span>on Bank Holiday Monday at Guards Polo Club. This was their third ladies title this year, after victories at the Royal Berkshire and Cowdray Park. <\/span><\/p>\n

Another big winner on this day was Smart Works Reading, the official charity of the Guards Ladies\u2019 Polo Tournament. As the polo had to be played behind closed doors Smart Works Reading was unable to host its popular fundraising day at Smith\u2019s Lawn. So they teamed up with Guards Polo Club to host an online auction and raffle that was live throughout this year\u2019s tournament. Thanks to some frantic bidding and generous donations the day raised more than \u00a36,000 for Smart Works Reading. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the final itself, Siri\u2019s team (rec \u00bd goal on handicap) narrowly defeated Varvara Borodina\u2019s Park Place by that very margin, 4<\/span>1<\/sup><\/span>\/<\/span>2 <\/sub><\/span>– 4, in a nip-and-tuck game on The Queen\u2019s Ground. Park Place were 2 – \u00bd up at half-time, with Lia Salvo making the most of any space that she was given. However some great team-work from Kayley Smith and Hazel Jackson-Gaona put MT Vikings back into this game in the third, while Milly Hine worked hard to ensure that Park Place retained their lead. <\/span><\/p>\n

With the score reading 3 – 2\u00bd to Park Place at the start of the fourth chukka there was still all to play for. Hazel converted a penalty to put MT Vikings into the lead and team-mate Emma Boers, who had a really strong game and was later named the Most Valuable Player, followed up with a fabulous goal to give MT Vikings some air on the scoreboard for the first time. Lia converted a penalty in the final moments of this match for Park Place but with the clock ticking down there were not enough minutes remaining to force this game into extra time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Siri received the trophy from Sarah Burns MBE, Chairman of Smart Works Reading. Every player also received some gorgeous prizes, generously donated by Cl\u00e9 de Peau Beaut\u00e9. It was announced during the presentations that Cl\u00e9 de Peau Beaut\u00e9 <\/span>will be the new sponsor of the ladies\u2019 18-goal tournament at Guards Polo Club from 2021 and offered prizes this year to highlight this exciting new partnership.
