We were delighted to welcome over 140 guests for the occasion, which began with Pimm’s on the lawns, followed by a delicious lunch. The polo kicked off at 3pm and was dynamically reported to the crowd by our commentator, Ralph Grayson (Current Parent).
The Blue team were issued with a handicap and, after fantastic play, the white team took the trophy with a score of 4 ½ to 4.
This year, we hope to organise an OS v Stoic Polo Match, details will be announced once confirmed.
