Top polo, party atmosphere and holiday feeling on the sunny Balearic island of Ibiza: The 2nd POLO+10 Patrons’ Cup Ibiza once again excited all participants! The players, who fought for the trophy, came from Great Britain, Luxembourg, Argentina, the USA, Ecuador, Switzerland, Germany and even Mongolia to Ibiza Polo Club.
The tournament was organised by POLO+10 and the Ibiza Polo Club and is part of the POLO+10 World Tour, which takes its participants to the most beautiful and exotic polo destinations around the globe. Often this is a unique opportunity for the players to play at their dream destination once. The whole idea is as simple as it is charming: The players register for the tour and book their flight, POLO+10 takes care of everything else.
All matches were exciting and really close, ending with a one-goal difference. ME Ibiza Polo Team, consisting of Raymon Rafool (0, USA), Antonio Parra (0, ECU), Angela Walker (0, UK) and Gabriel Iglesias (2, ARG), was most successful and won the coveted trophy. Team Gemwater with Katriona Shrives (0, UK), Vera Kubick (0, GER), Jérémy Windsinger (0, LUX) and Agustín Arestizábal (3, ARG) was placed second. Third place went to POLO+10 Team, including Ich Tenger Giercke (0, MGL), Barbara Hochuli (0, SUI), Thomas Wirth (0, GER) and Juan Carlos Fiorito (2, ARG).
Thomas Wirth, publisher of POLO+10: “As always everything was organised perfectly, many thanks to Gabriel Iglesias and the whole team of the Ibiza Polo Club! All participants had so much fun and I really look forward to our next tournament at Ibiza Polo Club in May 2017!”
