The Polocrosse 2011 World Cup will be held in the United Kingdom at Bishop Burton College, near Beverley in East Yorkshire.
The prestigious two-week event, previously held in Australia, will be held from 4th July – 18th July 2011. In conjunction with Bishop Burton College, the organising committee has already drawn up outline plans and programmes not only for the event itself but also the “entertainment” that will be included for the thousands of people who will flock to this event from all corners of the world. The event will take place over two weekends, with many other activities and opportunities occurring in between times, to make the full two weeks an experience not to be missed for all horse, fun and sport lovers alike.
Whats on ?
At the 2007 Polocrosse World Cup the UK team defied all polocrosse forecasters (other than the UK supporters!) to officially become the second best Polocrosse playing country in the world, only losing out to Australia in the final match of the tournament.
This will be the third Polocrosse World Cup tournament in history, the first two being held in 2004 & 2007 at venues in Australia, always taking place four years apart. The countries taking part in the Polocrosse 2011 World Cup will include the United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, Zimbabwe, Zambia and the United States of America.
Additionally, a European Challenge Tournament will include invited teams from France, Holland, Germany, Belgium, Norway, Ireland and the UK, plus a Pony Club Polocrosse competition.
Jonathan Beckerlegge, Managing Director of “World Cup Polocrosse 2011 ltd”, the organising committee, said “this really is an opportunity to put Polocrosse on the sports map in the UK and internationally and to introduce the game to everyone including children and those from inner cities where such fast and exciting sports are rarely seen”.
