Six ladies 12-18 goal tournaments throughout the season
2017 marks the first year of the Victrix (Ladies) Ludorum. The series will run in much the same way as the current mixed Victor Ludorum, which is very popular with players and clubs alike, promiting competition and inter-club travelling. The Victrix Ludorum will be played at 12-18 goal level using ladies’ handicaps and there will be six tournaments played at six clubs across the country, Knepp Castle, Cowdray Park Polo Club, Cirencester Park Polo Club, Beaufort Polo Club, Guards Polo Club and the Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club. It is still to be confirmed if there will be professional umpire fees to be paid by the players for the Semi Finals and Finals of the tournaments.
The June issue of Polo Times will be delivered at the end of this week to subscribers and includes a Victor Ludorum focus, if you’re not a subscriber already then don’t miss out on your chance to read all of the latest reports, news and polo knowledge. Click here to subscribe.
