Game On! Ali & Martin Stegeman
Simon Arber had a fantastic day and received the trophy from Paul Davies
It was hoods up and umbrellas aplenty for those that braved the elements for Finals day at Hickstead. Arena polo regulars toughed it out alongside a strong non-polo contingent from Playnation who sponsored the event. After the action finished in the arena everybody dried off and warmed up enjoying a smart three course lunch in the Clubhouse. Tables were hosted by Playnation, Gamestec, Bell-Fruit Games and Astra as guests chatted to players and spectators. Plans are already afoot for the event to take place again next year. So it looks as though it is ‘game on’ for 2018. Watch this space.
