Semi-Final 1: Ojo Caliente vs Jehangiri 

Date: 9 May 

The first semi-final was between Ojo Caliente and Jehangiri. With Ojo Caliente having the upper hand, there was not much that Jehangiri could do. The former team’s continuous scoring put the latter under pressure, which broke their game and eventually caused them to concede the win to Ojo Caliente by a three-point margin.

Semi-Final 2: Tchogan/Polo Performance vs Ainsley Saddlery 

The second semi-final game was a low-scoring, close encounter between Tchogan/Polo Performance and Ainsley Saddlery. The game, despite not being too high on goals, was able to bring everyone to the edge of their seats. However, the fortune gods were in favour of Tchogan in this game, and along with their unwavering focus under pressure, they could come out on top after this close encounter ended.

Winner: Tchogan/Polo Performance ( 5-4 )

Sub-Semi-Final 1: Standing Rock vs La Hechicera Polo Team

Date: 9 May 

The first sub-semi-final game was between Standing Rock and La Hechicera Polo Team. Both teams had been phenomenal this far and were looking to qualify for the sub-final game. Standing Rock, proving to be a little more determined to win the game, ended up just a point ahead, earning their tickets into the sub-final of the event.

Winner: Standing Rock ( 7-6 )

Sub-Semi-Final 2: Green Gates vs Emlor 

The second sub-semi-final game had even more goals scored and was between Green Gates and Emlor. The game was really close, as both teams were vying for the win, but only one could have a spot in the sub-final match. Green Gates scored more goals towards the end of all rounds, keeping Emlor at bay and securing the win by just a one-point margin.

Winner: Green Gates (8-7)

Sub-Final: Green Gates vs Standing Rock 

Date: 11 May 

After a day’s break, it was time for the sub-final game between Green Gates and Standing Rock. The former team kept the game under control by guarding their defences. Standing Rock could not move its scoreboard, gradually leading to its demise. On the other hand, Green Gates scored beautifully throughout the game to win the sub-final of this year’s La Martina Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother’s Centenary Trophy.

Winner: Green Gates (7-3)

Final: Ojo Caliente vs Tchogan/Polo Performance

Date: 11 May 

The day of finals finally dawned upon the audience and was held between two of the most deserving teams: Ojo Caliente and Tchogan/Polo Performance. Both teams were off to a decent start, and neither could get too big of a lead to make themselves comfortable. Tchogan was almost able to level the scores towards the end. Still, time didn’t favour their struggle, and Ojo Caliente won the game, the champions of the 2025 version of the La Martina Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother’s Centenary Trophy.

Winner: Ojo Caliente ( 8-7 )
