AUGUST FIXTURES 2006 The Hackett Army Polo Team competed in the Major General's Cup at Guards Polo Club on August 11, 12 and 13. They booked their place in the final, which was played in a thunderstorm, but lost in the fifth chukka to Bon Coeur by seven goals to six. The Hackett Army Polo Team was made up of Lt Col Johnny Wheeler -1, Major Crispin Lockhart 0, Lt Jack Mann 2, and Ct Harry Wales 1. A team mostly made up of Bovington players was invited to play at Watership Down but again the weather intervened which meant the match took place in the arena. Although they lost 6-5, Johnny Wheeler, Graeme Craig, Quentin Hicks and Harry Wales were well entertained and looked after. The Senior Army Team played a MacMillan Cancer Exhibition Match at Orchard Polo Club in Dorset on Saturday August 26. In front of a crowd of some 800 people they faced up to professional polo players from Longdole Polo Club in Gloucestershire (the Cudmore/Hanbury families).

The team were Capt Tim Verdon 2, Lt Jack Mann 2, Maj Nick Hunter 2 and Capt Mark Dollar 2.
