IRELAND’s Richard Fagan, Niall Donnelly and Michael Henderson were in Hickstead last weekend for a successful polo match that ended the Welsh winning streak of three years at the Hickstead 12 Goal Challenge.

Although synonymous with show jumping, Hickstead has played host to arena polo since 2006 at the All England Polo Club and Ricky Cooper, Roddy Mathews and Roddy Williams playing for Wales were defeated by the Irish on a final score of 20-9.
