The Roehampton Cup

Now in its 118th year the Roehampton Cup final took place on August 23rd. Two weeks of league matches resulted in Jet Set and Ojo Caliente/Mount Loftus (OC/ML) achieving places in the final. OC/ML had displayed some impressive horse power in the league stages and this appeared to give them the edge in the opening chukkas. Santi Araya worked hard for Jet Set in defence but the impressive combination of Johnny Good and Terrence Lent was a difficult challenge to contend with. A significant lead was opened up by OC/ML and though Katharine Smithwick’s Jet Set team closed it towards the end it was Ojo Caliente/Mount Loftus who repeated their Roehampton Win of 2018 to claim the trophy again.

Georgia Brittian and Anna Escobida marched to the presentation table together to lift the cup and looked delighted with their second win of this historic tournament.

In the next match for the plate Quadriga put in a valiant effort representing Ham Polo Club but were overcome by AMP Capital who took home the Rerrison Trophy.
