S/S Polo Team took a narrow 6-5.5 win over Sowiniec to take the Sowiniec Polo Cup, at Sowiniec Polo Club, in Poland. Third place went to Black Polo Team after they defeated Ivy Polo by 8 goals to 6.5. The eleventh edition of the tournament was played from August 26 to 28. Four teams, up to 7-goals, were in competition.
The club is located approximately 300 km west of Warsaw, the country’s capital. Its facilities include two full size grounds (270 x 150 metres), one arena (100 x 50 metres), a trot track for eight horses, training track, indoor grounds, and stables for 60 horses. The club currently owns 30 horses to house 20 horses owned by temporary members.
Sowiniec Polo Club has big plans for the future. “Our expectations are focused on the club’s growth, welcoming teams to come and enjoy the tournament,” they share. “It is not always easy for patrons to come to Poland, because they can’t imagine what we are able to offer. But once they visit, they always come back. We are located less than three hours by car from Berlin, so that counts in our favour. In addition, the quality of our grounds is incredible, and it is difficult to find facilities of this level in other parts of Europe.”
