The first two chukkas were an impressive defensive battle, with neither team managing to score. Both sides defended extremely well, leaving the match finely balanced at the halfway stage.
Everything changed in the third chukka when Ballistic found their rhythm and produced an extraordinary attacking display, converting eight goals. Despite Mountgerald’s best efforts, they were unable to keep pace, and Ballistic secured an emphatic 8–2½ victory.
The winners were presented with the beautiful Mountgerald Quaich, which bears the Grant family crest. A quaich is a traditional Scottish two-handled drinking vessel, historically shared as a symbol of friendship, trust and hospitality.
At the prize presentation, everyone honoured the tradition by sipping wh**ky from the Quaich—a wonderfully Scottish conclusion to the tournament! 🥃🏴
Our sincere thanks go to Sarah Grant for generously sponsoring the Mountgerald Polo Tournament and for providing the delicious haggis, tatties and neeps enjoyed by everyone after the match.
Thank you also to our umpire, Andrew Speight, and congratulations to Ballistic Polo on a thoroughly deserved victory! 🏇🏆
