🇺🇸🇬🇧 GAME 2 TONIGHT! 🇬🇧🇺🇸

Who’s ready for Game 2?

After an absolute nail-biter in Game 1, the USA edged out the UK with a thrilling 26–23 victory! The match was back-and-forth from start to finish, with incredible plays, momentum swings, and nonstop action right down to the final whistle.

If Game 1 was any indication, tonight’s match is going to be another exciting showdown you won’t want to miss!

The combined United Kingdom Polocrosse Association and Irish Polocrosse Association Barbarians team defeated American Polocrosse Association 23-16, 19-13 and 25-14 in their three test matches in Whitesburg!

Both these teams were not full strength open teams but made up of open level players that the countries involved were keen to develop and give more test match experience to.

We know the UK / Ireland Best Horse / Player awards and hopefully someone can tell us the USA ones:

Best Player for Barbarians: Cathy Matthews
Best Sportswomen: Izzy Baker Cresswell
Best Horse in Male Barbarians pool: Eclipse (Peter Walker)
Best Horse is Ladies Barbarians Pool: BB (Izzy Baker Creswell and Cathy Matthews)
