RA Cup Winners, Selfe, Pryor, Fair and Turner
Handicap Nathan Turner, Kit Palmer-Price, Cameron Oldroyd and Paddy Livingstone. The less said about their performance on the pitch the better. The team did however fair better off the pitch hosting both the Royal Lancers and SNIY in the Mess after in a bid to fair better on the second day!
More successful was the AGC Cup which saw Will Howlett, Hector Fair, Cameron Oldroyd and Nathan Turner win Division Three of the tournament. Beating the RAMC in sudden death penalties, and then the Royal Artillery in the final.
The highest profile match of the season was of course the Inter- Regimental Final between KRH and QRH at The Duke’s Ground, Guard’s Polo Club. The KRH team of Paddy Selfe, Alex Walch, Quentin Hicks, and Hector Fair. Unfortunately, we were beaten by half a goal after a divisive Umpires decision. Paddy has yet to calm down nor stop telling anyone who will listen how ‘it was certainly not a foul...’
The final run out of the season was in the Kadugli Cup a civilian tournament held by Tedworth Park. For the first time since 2017
Fair scores at the Inter-Regimental Final
the Regiment was able to field two teams over the same weekend. The result was a KRH v KRH match in a not very fast but very furious final (for 5th and 6th place).
The 2021 season has seen some excellent polo despite our rela- tive ‘greenness’. We currently have 13 active players with more interested individuals joining the mess soon all contributes to the signs that KRH polo is fit and well. The KRH look forward to the 2022 season and further success. The Tedworth Park Polo Club summer fixture list will be published on their website in February, and we look forward to seeing members of the extended Regimental Family on the side lines and welcoming you with a glass of something cold and sparkling in the KRH tent at the larger events.
Someone needs to win it
do at Upavon GC. The hilliest course in the Southwest, the Old Comrades were going to struggle making it to the clubhouse for coffee and bacon butties, never mind 18 holes in the sun. There were many prizes to play for, including longest drive, closest the pin, overall best score and then the dreaded wooden spoon which

no one wants to win. A great day for all with thanks to SSgt Lees and Paul Wilson for sorting what looks like being a recurring event for the future.
