Blah blah blah enough about Sunny Hale, who are the two ladies who played with her that are standing in the winners circle. What were the other teams? Credit needs to be given to all who compete not just Sunny’s self promotion of her tournaments. It is getting really old to see her on every womens tournament as the star when a lot of women are just as important who pay money to allow her to come and play. Complete journalism is lacking in these reports and do nothing to inform people of these events until after they are over.
I also want to share the link to the pre-tournament coverage for the that was posted on PoloZONE on April 9th. This event is not just a women’s polo tournament (South Beach Tournament), but it is also the Miami Beach Polo World Cup which is the headline event.

I posted what was sent to me. I did find the women’s teams on the Miami Beach Polo Website, but not the list of teams for the Miami Beach World Cup which will be played over the weekend. I’ll see what I can do to find the team line-ups.
