Tue 16th Aug 2016Stagshead TrophyYouth Polo at HPC
Sunday 14 August saw the youth polo scene continue, with The Stagshead Trophy at Ham Polo Club, donated to the HPA youth development programme by Annie and Nicholas Colquhoun-Denvers in 1998. As part of the HPA Select series, all of the players had been hand-picked and thus recognised by the HPA Development Committee as up-and-coming young players. With six players aged 13 and two players under 13 years-old, it was an impressive reminder of the ability of the UK’s grass-roots players. As the young players and the enthusiastic parents gathered upon the sun-kissed grounds of HPC, the London Polo Club, the outcome was anyone’s guess. HPA Select Red got off to a slightly sluggish start and HPA Select Blue took advantage to gain an early lead. However, the red team woke up and Tom Baxter took the opportunity to level the scores in the second chukka. What ensued was a closely fought match, which resulted in a final score of 5-3 in favour of HPA Select Red. A full feature of all the youth polo action will be featured in our September issue.
