An unprecedented showcase of polo skill and camaraderie
From a luxurious lounge, guests enjoyed the game with aerial views of the field and in high-end comfort while sipping on cocktails and warmer coffees.
The much-anticipated Heineken All-Invitational Inanda Polo, in association with Mercedes-Benz, QMS Medicosmetics, and other brands, returned to the prestigious Inanda Polo Club in their most playful luxury ensembles to witness a first-of-its-kind mixed-doubles polo match.
The highly anticipated match saw a 5-10 score, with the QMS team claiming victory for the day.
According to Craig James, Polo Manager of the Inanda Club, the day was met with the perfect spring weather out in all its glory and breath-taking views of the prestigious Inanda Polo Club.
The event saw different entrepreneurs, models, and influencers in attendance.
“As a standing polo tradition, guests had the opportunity to get up close and personal during the divot stomping.”
He explained that the ground-breaking mixed doubles tournament format lived up to its expectations, delivering electrifying matchups that saw team QMS take the title win, with team Alistair Group taking second place.
“Team Fire Reigns was crowned as the plate winners, while Jo Spilsbury and David Dvans were crowned as the MVP ladies and men, respectively.”
James pointed out that the day was a phenomenal success.
“A huge thank you to the incredible support of Heineken and Mercedes-Benz, QMS Medicosmetics, L’Or Espresso and Tanqueray, the participants, and our fabulous guests. The event epitomises the spirit of unity and excellence that the sport of polo fosters. I am looking forward to welcoming everyone back to the Inanda Club for another tournament soon.”
