As we cruise into a successful 2022, let’s look back on a very successful and fun filled 2021!

Saturday the 18th of August saw the second “Langman Cup” in memory of the late great Roy Langman.
As before all manner of wonderful folk descended upon Epsom Polo Club from Sebastian Dawneys wonderful arts and sculptures, rj polos gifts and polo trinkets, to champagne and oysters. And if you wanted something more in between then there were a host of caterers on hand providing burgers and pizza and all manner of mischief to make it such a wonderful day, and keep everyone well fed!

Proceedings kicked off with a race between a classic racing car and a polo pony, this time the lovely “Gallilea” ridden by Ryan Anderson, and despite plenty of noise and excitement from the racing car, the polo pony proved to have more than enough horsepower to win again (We’ll give the car a head start next year!)

The main event for the Langman cup pitted husband and wife combo the Solanets against each other as Jean baptist solanets FLY VICTOR team took to the field against Charlotte solanets MARY-CURIE.
In a fast paced and highly entertaining match the first two chukkas were neck and neck, high speed runs from Serena taylor and Jean Baptist Solanet, were matched by Stephanie phizackerly and Sarah brown, a midfield duel between Charlotte Solanet and Tina taylor, and the two Anderson brothers keeping the crowd entertained and things tidy, as both teams sussed each other out and space was at a premium.
But then things really got cooking in the third chukka as both sets of strikers burst into life with 3 goals apiece, so it was all to play for in the last chukka, both teams raced up and down searching for a suitably entertaining goal for victory and it duly came as Lance Anderson raced under pressure from one end of the field to the other to score the winning goal with seconds left!..

The second match of the day saw a round robin between 3 very strong teams from the HAC, Deloitte, and an EPC,
The Deloitte team played brilliantly with some particularly impressive individual performances, ultimately finishing in third place leaving a “Final between the HAC team of Sophie Morrison, Louise brown, Izzy Gathercole, and Scott Anderson who took to the field against the EPC team of Lisa Knight, Luc Trafford, Helen Gillman, and Ryan Anderson.
In a absolutely barnstorming game featuring strong and highly competitive polo from all the players, sibling rivalry at its finest!, and a host of runs from end to end to keep the crowds entertained, a dazzling performance from young Scott Anderson was enough to secure victory for his side, and bragging rites until next year!.

And as last year an incredible raffle where a football shirt signed by the whole Tottenham team, was joined by hampers, and gifts from every corner of the globe to fill the raffle to bursting point and send pretty much everyone home with a highly impressive prize!

On behalf of Epsom Polo Club, we would like to extend our warmest thank you’s to everyone who came and made the event such a success and so special, and I’m sure those watching from above were suitably entertained!

We look forward to welcoming you all back next year!
