The KHHP sisters; Charlie Howell, Saskia Meadows and Rosie Ross, were 'doing it for themselves' in the opening of season tournaments at the All England Polo Club, Hickstead, with a victorious win in the UberPolo 0-3 Goal Ladies Arena Tournament final on Sunday 27th November.

With three all-filly teams entering the fray in the ultimate quest of girl power to be crowned the queens of the Hickstead arena, visiting side KHHP fought a courageous and tactical encounter to take the title against the opposing home forces of KSJ Consulting Ltd; Katie Jenkins, Alex Grant and Catriona Baker, and Hawksfield; Maxine Betteridge, Claire Donnelly, and Sarah Hotston half-shirting with Louise Potton. 

The UberPolo Ladies, reigning champions of the UberPolo Battle of the Sexes Challenge, took to the arena on the qualifying day in an endeavour to defend their title, with RCBPC's Alex Jacob making the trip from her Berkshire homeland, accompanied by sister Nell and teaming up with Hickstead pro Sarah Wiseman. Whilst the boys were well beaten in the UberPolo his versus hers finale in its first holding last season, Team Hickstead Men (Chas Taylor, John Bunn and Caio Sorzana) re-established their male pride with a succession of stunning victories, against the UberPolo Ladies on the opening day, and the Eastwood Stud Ladies (Aurora Eastwood, Heloise Lorentzen and Claire Donnelly) in Sunday's final.
