GUARDS LADIES CHARITY POLO TOURNAMENT


TEAMS MT VIKINGS, PARK PLACE, TEX8N LADIES, TARANTULA


S


iri Evjemo-Nysveen's MT Vikings validated their dominance in ladies’ polo by securing the Guards Ladies Charity Polo Final for the


Lord Patrick Beresford Trophy, 4½ - 4, on the last day of August. This was their third ladies’ title in 2020, after victories at the Royal Berkshire and Cowdray Park. MT Vikings (rec ½ goal on handicap)


had to work hard for this win though. They narrowly defeated Varvara Borodina’s Park Place by their handicap advantage, 4½ - 4, in a fabulous nip-and- tuck game on The Queen’s Ground. Park Place were 2 - ½ up at half-time, with Lia Salvo making the most of any space that she was given. Then some great team-work from Kayley Smith and Hazel Jackson-Gaona put MT Vikings back into this game in the third, while Milly Hine continued to work hard to ensure that Park Place retained their lead. With the score reading 3 - 2½ to Park Place at the start of the fourth chukka


Some great team-work from Kayley Smith and Hazel Jackson- Gaona put MT Vikings back into this game


there was still all to play for. Hazel converted a penalty to put MT Vikings into the lead and team-mate Emma Boers, who had a strong game and was later named the Most Valuable Player, followed up with a fabulous goal to give MT Vikings some air on the scoreboard for the first time. Lia converted a penalty in the final moments of this match for Park Place but time was against them. Siri received the trophy from Sarah


Burns MBE, Chairman of Smart Works Reading. Every player also received some gorgeous prizes, generously donated by Clé de Peau Beauté. It had been announced during the presentations that Clé de Peau Beauté would be the
