Thu 6th Aug 201522 goal and Victor Ludorum handicap changes are outThe up-and-coming players flourish with higher handicaps Following the handicap meeting, on Wednesday 5 August, for all 22 goal and Victor Ludorum players (excluding the 6 goal) the changes have been announced. The younger generation of up-and-coming players have been recognised for their strong play this year, with nearly all of them going up. Not surprisingly, Hugo Lewis, after his double high goal win with King Power Foxes, has gone to 2 whilst his teammate at the King Power set-up, Kian Hall, remains on 1. Jack Hyde, who has had a rather more disappointing season with Zacara has risen to 3 goals. Charlie Pidgley, Ralph Richardson and Phil Seller have all moved from 1 to 2. Josh Cork who made his high goal debut for Dubai in The Jaeger-LeCoultre Gold Cup, along with professional umpire Martin Fewster’s son, James Fewster, and Mongolian player D’Artagnan Giercke have all gone to 1. Moving from -1 to 0 includes youngsters Marcus Cork, Jake Rigby, Luke Wiles and brothers Charlie and George Cadogan. The future looks bright for British polo with so many players coming through the ranks. In the more established players handicap lists Juan Martin Nero, who is currently ranked as number five in the world behind Adolfo Cambiaso, Facundo and Gonzalito Pieres and Pablo MacDonough, has gone down to 9 goals. Nero may not have won any major high goal titles but he did defeat Dubai in the Semi Final of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Gold cup despite suffering fractures to his hand. JP Clarkin, Jaime Huidobro and Nic Roldan have all dropped from 8 to 7. Lochie Hunter, Santi Stirling and Martin Valent have all gone up from 4 to 5. Only seven players above 2 goal have gone up in the changes whilst 9 have gone down. Click here to go to the HPA website where you can download the full list of changes. The changes will be ratified by the Stewards after the second handicap meeting on Tuesday 8 September and will come into effect from 1 January 2016.
