Local team claims victory in the 2025 Viking Cup Polo Tournament

Visiting teams from Dundee and Perth Polo Club in Scotland, Shrewsbury Polo Club in England, and the Isle of Man's Triskelion Polo Club gathered at the Ballacooiley Equestrian Estate in Ballaugh this past weekend to compete in the Island's premier invitational polo event, "The Viking Cup." Organised by the Triskelion Polo Club in collaboration with Ramsey Crookall.

The tournament concluded with an exciting final on Sunday, where local Triskelion polo teams Locate IOM and Ramsey Crookall faced off, with Locate IOM narrowly winning a close final. They scored 7 goals to 6 against Ramsey Crookall, with Dundee and Perth finishing third.

Saturday’s highly anticipated "Ladies Day' was once again a great success, with stunning outfits on display. This year’s tournament was also marked by the Hoolie at Ballacooiley live music event on Sunday, featuring Alex Cowley, Toby Higgins, and The Terence George Band, providing a fantastic conclusion to the weekend's event.

Frazer Houston, the Director of the Triskelion Polo Club, stated, "We are thrilled by the fantastic success of the third Viking Cup tournament. Our heartfelt appreciation goes out to Ramsey Crookall and all the other sponsors and everyone who helped make the event such a success. We extend our sincere thanks to all the visiting teams that took part, making the tournament both special and unforgettable. We eagerly anticipate their return for the 2026 Viking Cup."
