POLO CHALLENGE 2017


The Match of the Day began and Lorenzo Larumbe put the first goal through the posts for Cheval Noir, no other goals followed from that side, Cheval Blanc scored two goals by Ali Paterson in swift succession making the score 2 to 1 for Blanc. Moving onto the second chukka Cheval Noir needed to catch up to even the match. Lorenzo came through again and scored followed by Fede Boudou for Noir, now Noir were ahead by a goal. 3 to 2.


After half time moving into the third chukka the blood was up and fierce rivalry continued with Jimmy Wood bettering the score for Noir but not to be outdone Antonio Menard bit back with one more goal but still leaving Blanc a goal behind. The final chukka commenced with no goals from Noir but Antonio slammed one final goal through for Blanc bringing the score to 4 all. However due to a half goal advantage point this meant that Cheval Blanc ran out the winners at 4 ½ goals to 4 – Another action packed match was viewed by one and all and with so much talent on the field, the game did not disappoint.


At the end of the match, the jovial ambience continued as Cheval Cup Trophy was awarded to the Cheval Blanc Team by George Westwell, Managing Director of the Cheval Group. Umpires, referees and commentators were thanked and it was smiles all around as a fantastic day out was had by all. We’re already looking forward to next year!
