This weekend was the 2nd Universities Atlantic Polo Cup. This involves Yale (USA) playing Oxford and Cambridge (UK).

I went to it last year in America - a very fun trip. This year, the Americans came over to England.

Anyway, Yale's Mens team won, and Yale's Womens team were runners up. A poor showing by the UK I know, but it was reversed last year, with Oxford beating Cambridge in the final.

It was a lot of fun, we did a little partying too, naturally. Here's some pics for you..

Is there a penalty for whacking a horse on the head with one of those mallets???

No penalty at all. It doesn't happen too often, and even when it does it doesn't tend to hurt the horses as a polo stick is fairly light.

Its good to watch - if you ever get the chance, take it.
