Thu 28th May 2015Europe’s oldest Polo Club still in full swingMalta Polo Club host their Novices Cup tournament
Malta Polo Club’s Novices Cup took place on Saturday 23 May. The trophy, was donated to the Club by Lt.Col R.F. Guy and Capt. T. Gubbins (Wilts. Regt. 1Bn) on the understanding that it was to be played for annually, with the sprit of the competition on encouraging lower handicapped players to showcase their skills. First contested for back in 1923, this year’s edition continued to obey the tournament’s original ideal and featured some of the sport’s best newcomers in Malta, as well as a few more experienced played in order to encourage the novices. Engel & Volkers opened the scoring in the first minute of play, and although their JEEP opponents replied, almost immediately with a goal to make the scores equal, Engel & Volkers in fact maintained that early advantage for the remainder of the match, taking the honours 7 goals to 5. Following the match, the Cup was presented to Engel & Volkers by Mrs Vicky Lyttleton. Malta Polo Club was established in 1868, a fact that makes it the oldest Club in Europe, and the second oldest Polo Club worldwide. The standard of play continues to go from strength to strength, and the novice players certainly proved themselves as a force to be reckoned with.
