Scone Polo added their name to the Cartier Queen’s Cup in the debut season. David Paradice’s team delivered a strong performance on The Queen’s Ground at Guards Polo Club in the second half of this final. The popular Australian patron, David Paradice, not only received the coveted cup from HM The Queen and Laurent Feniou, Managing Director of Cartier UK but a huge cheer from the crowd too for delivering a wonderful performance throughout the season. Their opponents, Andrey Borodin’s Park Place, were runners-up for the second successive year. Park Place, the favourites to lift the trophy, started the game by smashing two goals in their favor. Park Place seemed to be in the driving seat in the first half but a commanding play by Paradice’s team ensured them the victory.

Scone Polo’s story through this year has been incredible and this final was no exception. Some great teamwork had put this team in the final and it won them the Cup too. Park Place struggled to counteract Scone Polo’s increasing confidence – failing to score at all in the fifth – and all of sudden, with just seven minutes left to play, this was Scone Polo’s game.
