The Triskelion Polo Club is set to host the Isle of Man's inaugural invitational polo tournament to compete for The Viking Cup. This tournament was inspired by the resounding success of Ramsey Crookall's annual private "Polo in the Park" event and promises to blend the excitement of the sport with the Island's indomitable spirit. This new event will be open to invited guests and the general public for a unique experience.
Visiting teams from Shrewsbury Polo & Offchurch Bury Polo, together with the Isle of Man's Triskelion Polo Club, will converge at the beautiful Ballacooiley Equestrian Estate and bring together a fine selection of players, displaying their horsemanship, skilfulness, and masterful ball control, promising to be a unique spectacle in support of Hospice Isle of Man.
Frazer Houston, Director of the Triskelion Polo Club, said, "We are excited to welcome so many players from the UK for this new flagship tournament and to showcase our polo facilities in the scenic setting of Ballaugh."
Joanna Crookall, CEO of Ramsey Crookall, said, "We are delighted to be involved with this event and hope that it will become an exhibition for polo on the Isle of Man, attracting both local support and international visitors to our shores whilst benefiting Manx charities."
"The Viking Cup" aims to create a vibrant atmosphere, with the support of local residents and international visitors to witness the thrilling matches and is set to captivate both avid polo enthusiasts and newcomers to the sport while celebrating the Island's rich heritage and welcoming spirit.
Hospice Isle of Man CEO John Knight said “It is incredibly exciting to be involved with, what promises to be a really vibrant new “must attend” event for the Island!” He continued, “We are very grateful to Ramsey Crookall for their ongoing support, and we are confident that everyone who comes along will have a tremendous day out witnessing a great sporting spectacle whilst helping to keep our vital Hospice services running.”
We invite all to witness history unfold at the "The Viking Cup".
