HPA New Year National Club Championships; The Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club; Saturday 23 January
Breezy Berkshire
Simon Arber & Olly Hughes
The mist, gales and occasional show of sunshine didn’t stop the Berkshire crowd from turning up en masse to get vocal in the stands at the New Year Nationals. The day’s polo was a relaxed affair with players, grooms and uni polo players rocking their “I’ve-just-played-polo outfits” in the Berkshire grandstand. A sprinkling of pre-St Moritz glitz could be seen, and the gossip by the gates with the grooms was full of who was going on a sledging pub-crawl down the Engadin mountains as everybody made plans to meet up. Warm tomato soup and mulled wine served by the Clubhouse provided a welcome warmer in between the chukkas, as teams from Hertfordshire, Fifield, Berkshire and Emsworth battled to the bitter end for the silverware. Post-polo, the triumphant players headed to the bar to celebrate and commiserate their day’s work.
