The Varsity Games at Guards Polo Club,
Windsor
Saturday 9th June 2007
There was a tremendous interest in last year's Varsity match. Polo now is increasingly becoming a popular sport at the University level in many countries, especially in the U.K. and U.S.A.
The Varsity Polo Match between Oxford and Cambridge is one of the oldest continuing fixtures in the Western World, and players from both universities have numbered among the very best of their generation. Harrow and Eton Schools both reciprocate Oxford and Cambridge enthusiasm and passion for polo but this is the first time in history that all four teams have played on the same day.
The first inter-University match was played at Oxford on the Bullingdon Cricket Grounds in November 1878, where the Dark Blues were victorious. However the first Varsity match, as we know it, was played in the summer of 1879 at Hurlingham Polo Club and was won by Cambridge.
Expect a fast, exhilarating and hard fought match followed by an immense and memorable Jack Wills after party to rival the Cartier!
