SUPA Team Travels

International Intercollegiate Challenge Cup this weekend

The Fifth Annual International Intercollegiate Challenge Cup between USPA Intercollegiate/Interscholastic (I/I) vs Schools & Universities Polo Association (SUPA) will be played this weekend as part of the same event as The Townsend Cup.

Director of I/I Amy Fraser said, “The tradition we have been carrying on with our sister programme SUPA is such a unique event, bringing together not only players from different countries, but also provides a chance for players from across our nation to compete together. It optimizes what polo is in the world, allowing players the opportunity to represent their university, the I/I program, the USPA and their country, which is very special.”  

Nigel Mercer, Manager SUPA Universities said, "I totally agree with Amy's comments and I think that giving students the opportunity to play in tournaments overseas not only broadens their horizons, they also meet other players and friendships are forged that last a lifetime. It also brings our sister organisations together and I hope that we can maintain this strong relationship well into the future."

The USA I/I team will play SUPA Britain on 15 January at 3.30pm ET at the WestWorld Arena in Scottsdale, Arizona, during the Barrett-Jackson car auction. The game will be live streamed on ChukkerTV.com. For more information, or to purchase tickets, please click here.

Jonny will be lining up alongside Max Charlton and Ed Banner-Eve to take on Tommy Biddle Jnr., Shane Rice and Jared Sheldon.
