Valuable Player and stepped up to receive his accolade – and the Cartier Trophy – from HM The Queen during the afternoon’s presentations. Eleven teams had taken part in this year’s
Cartier Queen’s Cup competition and the evenness of the teams was highlighted in these finals. Throughout the three weeks of the competition, sponsored by Cartier for the seventh year, no team had stood out head and shoulders above their peers. This even-handedness resulted in plenty of superb, competitive polo – much to the delight of the games’ many spectators.
