What's New at Sussex Polo Club for 2009

As always we aim to be innovative at Sussex Polo Club and provide our members with unrivalled value for money and an exciting and affordable fixture list thus living up to our 2009 motto of

''SUSSEX POLO - RIDING THE STORM!''

New Southern Counties League

We are introducing a Southern Counties league which will provide variety and low cost polo for all of our full playing members.  The league for 2009 includes West Wycombe, Little Bentley and Brightling.  The level will be -4 to 0 and can include one professional player (max 2 Goal handicap) per team.  Entry for visiting teams is free with just the host team paying their club's usual one day entry fee. Each Club will play 3 home and 3 away league matches.  The League will culminate in a Championship day at Sussex Polo in September with all four teams playing a fourth and final match to decide the 2009 winners.

Novice Matches

Novice matches are one day events from -6 to -2 and will be played on the chukka ground with three-a-side.  There are a maximum of five novice matches per season (Please note that chukka members can play in Novice Matches).  Maximum of one pro per team.  Note: Pros cannot score and maximum handicap is 2 Goals.

Entry fees are £150 with the winning team receiving prizes.

Champagne Jaquart Challenges

Champagne Jaquart Challenges are very flexible as they can be set at any level and on any one day, with the exception of Mondays.  Professionals may also be happy to negotiate a reduced rate for mid-week games. There is a reduced entry fee of £150 per team making this an enticing and affordable option for some top class polo.

Club Tournaments

These are unsponsored events but nevertheless very competitive.  Depending on demand, we can cater for two levels of entry usually ranging from -6 to +2.  Entry fees are reduced to £300 per team with the finalists all winning prizes.

Sponsored Tournaments

La creme de la creme!  As always, we aim to provide our members with some prestigious and exciting events, sponsored each year by high profile brands such as Puffa, Square Peg, AIRMILES and Champagne Jacquart.  There are usually two levels of play to enable all of our full playing members to be included.  Entry fees are as per 2008 at £400 per team which will cover paramedics on both days and prizes for all, plus £50 per team per day for a professional umpire if requested or required.
