AUDI ENGLAND TO TAKE ON SOUTH AMERICA IN THE FIRST OUTDOOR UK POLO INTERNATIONAL OF 2014
Audi England will face South America in the first outdoor polo international match of the 2014 UK polo season when The St. Regis International Cup takes place at Cowdray Park, Midhurst, West Sussex, on Saturday 17th May.
Having lost in 2013 to the South American side which included last season’s leading player, 10 goaler Facundo Pieres, the Audi-sponsored England team will be keen to reverse the outcome and secure an early season win. With the team yet to be selected, both of England’s 7 goal players, Luke Tomlinson and James Beim, have made themselves available and it is understood that the Selection Committee may look to include some younger members of the England Squad who are keen to establish their credentials wearing the England shirt. However, South America as always will have a wide choice of players to line up alongside captain Nacho Figueras and the England players will need every ounce of support from the home crowd.
Following the international match, a new match is introduced to the event, “Family Traditions at St. Regis Cup”, with polo-playing fathers and sons taking part in the St. Regis and Hurlingham teams.
To enjoy to the full the high octane sporting action on the world-famous Cowdray Lawns, visitors can reserve a pitchside picnic spot for a front row view. As well as a children’s mini funfair, there are excellent trade stands offering a range of fashion and country goodies, food outlets and bars.
Entrance is £15 per adult (under 12s free). Arena-side picnic sites for 10 people and two cars are available at £150 (Cowdray members £95), guaranteeing all the adrenaline you could possibly want from a sporting event. Tickets can be booked online at www.cowdraypolo.co.uk.
