Whats on ?

At the 2007 Polocrosse World Cup the UK team defied all polocrosse forecasters (other than the UK supporters!) to officially become the second best Polocrosse playing country in the world, only losing out to Australia in the final match of the tournament.

This will be the third Polocrosse World Cup tournament in history, the first two being held in 2003 & 2007 at Warwick, Queensland in Australia, always taking place four years apart. The countries taking part in the Polocrosse 2011 World Cup will include the United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, Zimbabwe, Zambia and the United States of America.

Additionally, an International Challenge Tournament will include invited teams from France, Holland, Germany, Canada, Norway, United Arab Emirates, Ireland and the UK, plus a Pony Club Polocrosse competition.

Other equestrian disciplines taking part in the event include Horseball, Reining, Vaulting, Mounted Games and the Riding for the Disabled Assocation.

Jonathan Beckerlegge, Managing Director of “World Cup Polocrosse 2011 ltd”, the organising committee, said “this really is an opportunity to put Polocrosse on the sports map in the UK and internationally and to introduce the game to everyone including children and those from inner cities where such fast and exciting sports are rarely seen”.
