This strength of play was evident in
the subsidiary final for the Mountbatten
Trophy. Mark Wadhwa’s Oakley Court
narrowly defeated Spencer McCarthy’s
Emlor S (rec ½ goal) by just 9-8½ after
five thrilling chukkas on The Duke’s
Ground. Although Oakley Court had failed
to score at all in the first chukka, they had
a narrow 6-5½ advantage at half-time.
With both teams scoring three goals
apiece in the final two chukkas, Oakley
Court’s victory was confirmed.
The presentations for this game, which
had been played earlier in the day, were
made by Guards Polo Club’s first Polo
Manager, Lord Patrick Beresford and his
great-niece Carolina Beresford.
This day traditionally ends with a carriage
driving display featuring the class winners of
the nearby British Driving Society Summer
Show. This year did not disappoint, with
a wonderful variety of horses, ponies,
donkeys and elegant carriages parading in
front of HM The Queen and our President,
HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, who were
seated in the Royal Box.
