Mon 28th Feb 2022Arena Gold Cup Final Triumvirate of matches at RCBPC
Saturday 26 February was certainly a busy day at The Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club, with not one but three matches to entertain the crowds against a sunny backdrop. The day began with The Arena Silver Cup Final between Thaporian Phantoms and Hedonism Wines, which saw Hedonism Wines leading from the outset to secure a 20-17 win. Next up, Asian Art and La Mariposa USA took to the arena for The Ladies British Arena Open, which saw the scores tied at 7-7 by half-time and the closely fought Final saw Asian Art run out the winners by just 1 goal. The last, but by no means least, saw Ojo Caliente and Twelve Oaks/La Mariposa compete for The Arena Gold Cup honours. Both teams tried to edge ahead, but each goal was swiftly matched by the opposing side, but the second chukka saw Adolfo Casabal score six goals, making it difficult for Ojo Caliente to stay within reach. Despite putting in a valiant fight until the final whistle, Twelve Oaks/La Mariposa outscored Ojo Caliente to secure the 2022 Arena Gold Cup title. Charlie Wooldridge received the Most Valuable Player prize and Casabal’s Mora, was chosen as the Best Playing Pony.
