The Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club
The Winning team take the Cup
The Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club are gearing up to host the prestigious International Day Polo after The Hurlingham Polo Association named the Club, the ‘Home of English Polo’. The prestigious Polo spectacular, showcasing the Flannels England Test Match against the United States, playing for The Westchester Cup, will take place on Saturday 28th July 2018 in Windsor. The International Day has always been one of the highest profile sporting events in the British summer calendar and stand-out social events of the year!
The Westchester Cup was created in 1876 and is always played for by teams from the USA and England. It has only been played four times since the Second World War and is currently held by England who won in 2013. Following in the footsteps of last year, a Ladies International, featuring Flannels England Ladies, will also be on the schedule, highlighting the importance of women’s Polo across the globe.
This year, the Club are delighted to announce that Charlotte Dujardin, three times Olympic Gold Medalist, European and World Champion in the sport of Dressage, will be giving a rare UK masterclass on International Day, as she demonstrates the training techniques that catapulted her onto the world stage, with a range of different horses. The move is part of a long-term strategy by the Club’s Chairman to bring the equestrian disciplines closer together and to encourage new audiences to immerse themselves in Polo.
