MABWAY CAPTAINS & SUBALTERNS TOURNAMENT:
JULY 19-20 2008

A RECORD-BREAKING 14 teams took part in this year''s hugely successful MabWay Captains & Subalterns Polo Tournament.

The event was played at Tidworth Polo Club over the July 19 and 20 weekend, with the entrants coming from throughout all three services.

And the polo played over the two days was of a far better standard than the tournament has seen in recent years, emphasising how the Captains & Subalterns has grown with MabWay on board.

The tournament had three seedings which culminated in the finals' day on Tidworth's excellent Fisher Ground.

In Division One the teams included The Royal Wessex Yeomanry, RAF, Coldstream Guards, Royal Navy, Light Dragoons and Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. The Royal Wessex Yeomanry were up against the RAF for the coveted trophy and it was RWxY who ran out winners by the slim margin of five goals to three.

In Division Two, the Adjutant Generals Corp beat the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment by five goals to two, and in Division Three it was the Grenadier Guards who were victorious over the Royal Dragoon Guards with the score 1-1_

Chairman of the Army Polo Association, Lt Col Simon Ledger, was delighted with the success of the tournament and paid tribute to MabWay for their support.
