Surprising results in Gold Cup



First losses for Salkeld and Dubai

There has been some upset during the Cowdray Park Gold Cup league matches this week with both Salkeld and Dubai – who were previously unbeaten – losing their last league games.

Yesterday, Dubai lost to Cortium, 9-7, while on Tuesday, Nick Clarke’s Salkeld lost to Jerome Wirth’s Enigma, 11-2. This means that Salkeld are now tied with Zacara at the top of League D. El Remanso – who are also part of the same league and have so far won two games and lost one – play their last game today. Should they win, they will join Zacara and Salkeld at the top of the league.

This may mean that the new penalty shootout rules – used for the first time last month to decide the Prince of Wales Trophy contenders – could be used again to decide the Gold Cup quarter-finalists.

Following the quarter-finals on Saturday (7 July), Ham Polo Club are holding a 22-goal match of their own – the highest ever to be played at the club. Dubai’s Adolfo Cambiaso and seven-goaler Gaston Laulhe will play in the high-goal exhibition match, which forms part of the Fifth Chukka Access Bank Day. A 12-goal match will also be played.

Tickets cost £5 per person and are selling fast. Get yours at www.hampoloclub.com or buy one on the gate on the day.
