Polo Masters Asprey Trophy 2009
May 28, 2009
The 2009 Polo Masters Asprey Trophy, with prize money of $100,000 was played for at Hurtwood Park Polo Club between the 1st -17th of May. Now in its second year the prize money was increased from £50,000 to $100,000 due to the huge success of 2008 tournament. This in turn drew some very strong teams amongst which the favourite was the superbly mounted Black Bears. The league matches were all closely fought with the results in some cases surprising and with the favourites being knocked out by the finalists and eventual overall winners, team Polonetworks. The final was played in the pouring rain between Polonetworks and Madams Farm and was a very exciting match that went right down to the wire. Henry Brett scored the winning goal in the dying seconds of the final chukka for the winner takes all tournament. Andrew Murray from Asprey Polo presented the winning team with the beautiful hand crafted Asprey trophy donated by Asprey London.
