Dear All,
Below are the results from Mudgee Polo Clubs Inaugural tournament held over the 2nd and 3rd of May.
The committee would like to express the warmest thank you to all players, grooms and supporters who came along and helped make the weekend a great success, we rely heavily on sponsors and would like to thank our major sponsors Parklands Resort , Gooree Park Wines and Elders Western Plains Insurance. Without their generous support we would not have been able to pull off what we hope was perceived as a great weekend of grass roots country polo.
Also a mention to one other partner for the weekend The Kings School Parramatta who provided the children’s entertainment on the day which allowed the parents some free time to enjoy the 1st class polo on display.
