Meanwhile the June Cup final was played at Cowdray Park Polo Club’s Ambersham 3 ground on Sunday– and what a thriller it was.

This was a 0-4 goal tournament with the final pitting Ausherra (Ralph Richardson, Tom Swerling, Nick Pepper and Oliver Browne) against the black and golds of Combe (Howard Guy-Harding, Nigel Warr, James Rome, James Glasson).

The teams were evenly matched and neither was willing to give up their right to the silverware easily until the final whistle had gone.

In the end Ausherra took the honours 6-5.
