Lord Patrick Beresford Trophy, which will be held from 21st August to 1st September will see last year’s winners, Siri Evjemo-Nysveen’s Monterosso Polo Team defend their title. They will face some stiff opposition from HH Sheikha Maitha and her famed UAE Polo team featuring rising star Milly Hine and eight-goaler Hazel Jackson Gaona. Ladies 10-goal superstar Nina Clarkin also returns, this time playing for the 18-goal Dodson and Horrell team.
Other Guards Polo Club’s lady patrons include Clare Mathias and Louisa Donovan, teaming up this time for the Clarita team, while Annita Van der Hoeven is in action with her own Nipas team. Meanwhile Sophie Granchi will be playing alongside daughter Capucine in the French Kiss team.
With such strong entries, finals day on September 1, Saturday is guaranteed to deliver a tremendous day of first-class sport.
Suitably, Guards Polo Club confirms that this date is also a major fundraiser for Breast Cancer Haven and so its doors are open to non-members. Thousands have been raised over the past five years for this leading cancer support charity and this year’s event will be no exception. In addition to the luxurious, all-day Clubhouse hospitality, our events team is also offering non-members the opportunity to enjoy day membership for just £25 per person.
