Mon 13th Oct 2014Asian Strategies win Ladies International Polo TournamentClaire Brougham wins the Final at Singapore Polo Club for the second consecutive year
The white shirts of Asian Strategies beat the green-shirted Cameron Highlands, 6 ½ goals to 4 in the Final of Singapore Polo Club’s International Ladies Polo Tournament on Sunday 12 October. It was a distinctly strong British contingent who appeared in the Finalist team line-ups including Sarah Wiseman and Izzy Parsons for the Cameron Highlands team alongside their International teammates Stephanie Masefield, Maryam Reda and April McKenna, whilst 2 goaler Hazel Jackson and Claire Brougham appeared in the Asian Strategies quartet. Both Jackson and Brougham have won the tournament in the past albeit with diffferent line-ups, so they are adding the 2014 victory to their list of achievements – will they be trying for a triple in 2015? “It was great to win the Singapore Ladies for a second year running,” Claire tells Polo Times via email from Singapore. “It was a real team effort, everyone played exceptionally well in the Final. Thank you to all who made it possible.” Earlier in the day, Honey Badgers featuring impressive Argentine player, Lia Salvo beat the pink-shirted Head Hunters 6 goals to 4 in the Subsidiary Final. It was a tough fight to win the tournament with impressive plays and games from each of the four teams in the league stages. With five 2 goalers also present in the tournament, Singapore Polo Club proved that ladies polo is very much on the rise with the ladies International teams constantly improving.
