The 2021/2022 Polo season began towards the end of November 2021. Thankfully we were eventually granted permission to play Polo from the Covid authorities on island however under strict rules and protocols. This was tough but like everyone involved in sport, the club was delighted to be back in action with play resuming once again.
As a club, we had to look for alternative ways to get us through the season as we had no visiting teams who were able to travel because of the Covid restrictions at the time. That said, we pulled together and came up with a structure we thought would give our members enough Polo and opportunities for them to have a fun filled season both on and off the field.
During the year, we were delighted to welcome some new young members on board . We have four new junior players bringing new life to the club as well as a few International players who have made Barbados their winter homes while at the same time playing Polo. This looks good for the future of our Polo!
Our 2022/2023 season looks promising as we look forward to the return of our International visiting teams and to some sort of normality.
We have confirmed The Villages out of The US, the return of The Cheshire team, our friends from Canada, Hickstead from the UK, ‘Was Cosa’ polo team from Switzerland and the return of a team from Denmark who played here last year for the first time. Its very exciting to have our Polo back again at Holders and Apes Hill Polo Club!!
There is nothing that can match watching a relaxed afternoon of Polo
in Barbados and we aim to bring back the fun and competition as well as the clubhouse atmosphere. There is a small entrance fee and visitors are welcome.
‘The bar is solid’ as they say in Barbados and at many matches you can get afternoon tea and snacks. Check www. sportingbarbados.com for match timings and details.
