| MABWAY CAPTAINS & SUBALTERNS TOURNAMENT: Four teams competed in Division One, the same number again in Division Two, six in Division Three and two in Division Four (one of the initial entries had to withdraw at the last minute). The standard of polo over the weekend was much higher than in previous years - which indicates the success of coaching both by individual Service arrangements and by the standard of courses run at Tidworth polo Club. Competition was tight in Division One. The Royal Navy took on the Infantry in the first of the matches and came out on top in a tough contest to set up a final with the Royal Wessex Yeomanry, who'd secured a win over 9/12 Lancers. This was a repeat of this year's thriling Inter-Regimental Final when the Royal Navy took the honours, but on this occasion RWxY were determined to hold on to their Captains & Subalterns crown and succeeded in doing so. In Division Two ADC black were easily overcome by the RAF, while RMAS has a close fought tussle with HAC. In the close scoring final between Sandhurst and the RAF, the newly presented Mabway Fox Trophy went to the RAF. In Division Three, the series of chukka matches meant that KRH overcame HCMR blue team - eventually with some ease - to win the Lancer Cup.. Division Four winners were the Army Novice teamwho beat RLC by six goals to two to lift the Grenadier Cup. The Most Valuable Player prize went to Captain Mathew Eyre-Brook of 9/12 Lancers. Chairman of the Army Polo Association, Lt Col Simon Ledger, said: "Our thanks to Mabway once again for their support of this tournament which was, agreed by many, to be the best yet."
