David Stone Jr and his brother Mark, Siobhan Herbst and Jack Armstrong of Pegus were elated after their win, having been unable to secure any victory at the venue last season. Speaking afterwards Armstrong said: “We were happy because we didn’t win anything in Dublin last year. We had a little monkey on our back about it. We won in other places but never here.”

While 12 goals accumulated by the Pegus team over the two days of polo were as a a result of team effort, Armstrong singled out David Stone Jr for particular prise.
