Three teams, Sheba, Shoreline and The Haven (sponsored by Mo and Amar Sheikh's Bridge House of Twyford), all looking gorgeous in their La Martina shirts, took part in the afternoon's fun, yet competitive round-robin competition. Shoreline won the tournament, having put up strong performances over both Sheba and The Haven. Shoreline's Sophie Kyriazi was particularly delighted with this win as The Haven charity was founded by her mother, Sara Davenport in 1997. All the players received fantastic prizes, with gifts from Elemis, Amelia Jane Collection, Rachel Elizabeth Wood silversmith, but Sheba's Sophie Granchi went home with even more goodies. She was deservedly named The Polo Magazine's Most Valuable Player and so received a kit bag packed full of treats. Shoreline's Saskia Meadows was presented with the Flurried Ease Best Playing Pony prize for her Terita. Appropriately for a sponsor that makes bespoke headware, Terita was the best looking pony at the Club after the presentations! Before the games had began, an impressive auction took place in the Clubhouse. Lots ranged from tickets to a screening of Have I Got News For You to a luxury Manhattan apartment for a week to golf for 4 at the exclusive Queenwood Club. Fierce bidding helped us raise record sums for the charity, so a huge thank you for everyone who supported this day. After all the excitement on and off the field, the Rosewater Bakery and staff and members of Guards provided a soothing and restful afternoon tea - always the perfect way to conclude a perfect day, especially if you add in a glass of Laurent Perrier too!
