Ladies Polo . . . It’s fun, it’s fast, it’s feverish – it’s Chicks with Sticks! Ladies Polo is the fastest growing area of the sport and this will be reflected in the Riverlands Ladies International on 11 and 12 November. There will be teams of two ladies, two men competing for the Ladies Challenge Trophy and New Zealand have been invited to take part in the International Match on the Sunday.
