Mon 3rd Apr 2023England Bring Home The Westchester Cup 12-9 win for visiting side
On Friday 31 March England faced USA in the 20th edition of The Westchester Cup at the National Polo Center, Florida. Both sides were well-matched, although the USA team arguably held the upper hand playing on home turf and having played throughout the season together; however, England’s Mark Tomlinson was first on the scoreboard and England’s hit and run strategy kicked in. England pulled ahead in the fourth and fifth chukkas to secure a four goal lead and despite a late goal from Jeffrey Hall in the final chukka it was not enough to turn the tide and England took the win, 12-9. The score was the second largest winning margin since 1939. Team Captain and the youngest player on the team, Tommy Beresford, was chosen as the Most Valuable Player and MC Adele, played and owned by Matt Coppola was the Best Playing Pony. You can watch the match here and a full report will be included in the next issue of Polo Times.
