Saturday 3rd March 2012 - the Test
Match is back!
The countdown has begun for this year's International Arena Polo
Test Match (run on behalf of the Hurlingham Polo Association).
The test match promises to be another day of epic polo, with the
USA sending an 18-goal side across the water. Captain John Gobin is
one of the finest players in the world, with such notable wins
under his belt as the US Arena Championships and the Miami Beach
World Polo Cup.
England will be captained by 9-goaler Chris Hyde, Europe's
highest handicapped arena player. Sparks will fly when the teams
clash, with England out to repeat their 2009 victory against the
USA, the last time that the two teams met in Hickstead's famous
arena for the coveted Bryan Morrison Trophy.

To celebrate what promises to be an unmissable day of polo, and

apres polo on the circuit, we will be hosting a post match
luncheon. Delicious food and fine wines are guaranteed, making it
the perfect time to hob nob with the who's who of polo - all with
Hickstead's famous international arena providing a stunning
backdrop.
