G


uards Polo Club hosted a Mid-Summer Tournament for, it is believed, the first time in its 66-year history.


Traditionally, this should have been the Spring Tournament but due to the delayed start due to the covid pandemic, this competition was pushed back until early July. The new date proved popular with the teams though, with some 12 squads taking part in 2020. Victory went to Simon Franc’s


Quatervois Polo team. Playing in their first season at Guards Polo Club, they defeated Heiko Voelker’s Tchogan 5-4. Although when these two teams had met in the league stages the result was very different – Tchogan won that encounter 6-2. Hissam Ali Hyder, Quatervois’s number


four and a Board Director here at Guards Polo Club received the Images of Polo Best Playing Pony prize for Jaguar, whom he later referred to on Instagram as “a legend for me for many years in England”. Meanwhile, Tchogan's Evan Power was named the Most Valuable Player. The sub final was equally close. This


was won by Mindi Byrne’s Tex8n Polo. Her team defeated another Club team which is headed up by a lady player, Éclair Chen’s 9 Stitches. Mindi’s squad won this match 5-4. ◆
