Tidworth do Battle of the Sexes TIDWORTH POLO CLUB hosted a Battle of the Sexes on the weekend of 30 – 31 January, sponsored by Women In Polo. The game was between Women In Polo (Lisa Ives, Suvi Ellila, Judith Feuchtwanger/Bridget McLeroy) and a Household Cavalry team (Evan Sidwell, Russel Jarman and Richard Speight). In a hard-fought match the men came out on top despite determined play from the girls. An open tournament was also held with four teams competing. The Subsidiary Final was an extremely close game with Tidworth (Ed Barker, Jessica Andrews and Stevie McCraith) winning by 1 goal against the Thirsty Farmers (Jack Aldridge, Lorna Broughton and Michael Howe ). The Final saw Millfield School (Oscar Luard, Will Penfold and Charles Cooney) take on Santos (Larissa Westall, Gonzalo Bazen and Sean Wilson-Smith). Despite Millfield’s best efforts, strong play from Wilson-Smith proved too much, with Santos running out the winners 13-11.
