Queens Cup Draw

Guards Polo Club announces the draw for the 2009 Harcourt Developments Queen’s Cup.

 

Eighteen teams have entered this leading high-goal tournament and each team will have at least three games. Although the current holders of The Queen’s Cup, Ellerston, are not defending their title this season, the stars of that squad –Facundo and Gonzalito Pieres – will be in action for Jean-Francois Decaux’s La Bamba De Areco team. They find themselves in League One, alongside Sumaya and two other teams which are sporting new names this season – the Hanburys’ El Remanso and Adrian Kirby’s Ravensbourne.

 

League Two has a new name to the team sheet this year – Rashid Al Habtoor’s Habtoor team. They will find themselves battling for honours against Les Lions II, Talandracas and Azzurra. Joachim Gottschalk’s other team, Les Lions l, takes its place in League Three, alongside George Milford Haven’s Broncos, Jerome Wirth’s Enigma and Nick Clarke’s Salkeld. This leaves six teams to compete in Group 1, featuring Apes Hill, Billingbear Park, Dubai, Lechuza Caracas, Loro Piana/Fise and Zacara.

 

Therefore, with so much talent on the field, this year’s Harcourt Developments Queen’s Cup appears to be the most open high-goal contest to be played at Guards Polo Club for many a year. The action starts on Tuesday 19 May with three games – Talandracas v Habtoor and Apes Hill v Billingbear Park at Guards Polo Club and Azzurra v Les Lions II at Les Lions. From day one the teams will be battling for a place in The Harcourt Development Queen’s Cup Final on The Queen’s Ground at Guards Polo Club on Sunday 14 June. On that date the winning team historically receives the silver trophy from Her Majesty The Queen.
