The East Rand Polo Club on Polo Drive, Bapsfontein held the Campbell and Bes Macnab Memorial Tournament last weekend which was played over three days.
Six clubs, 50 players and more than 250 horses were part of the competition.
This tournament was in memory of two of the founding members, Campbell Macnab who passed away in 1964 at the young age of 50 and his wife, Bess Macnab, following a 74 year-relationship with East Rand Polo Club.

Both Campbell and Bess represented their province in polo and were the driving force of the club during its formation.
“We are celebrating the 81st year of our existence and what better way to kick the year off.
“East Rand Polo Club is very proud to have been associated with the Macnab family and to enjoy their continued support,” said the club captain, Murray Spark.
