players were then all treated to a delicious Mosimann’s’ afternoon tea, always the perfect way to conclude an afternoon of polo - accompanied by a glass or two of Champagne Laurent-Perrier of course! The sub final had been played earlier in the day and was a much closer affair. Stefan Sund’s Previse Polo (rec ½ goal) beat Pink Power by their handicap advantage, winning the game 6½ - 6. There was an additional final for the remaining two teams in this tournament. Shoreline/Cuervos Negros (rec ½ goal) defeated Tchogan/Matrix 9½-6. The winning team, headed up by Tunde Karim and Julian Drake received the Polo Manager’s Trophy.
