Whilst we only have one Boodles Roodee Challenge Cup each year, if you’re interested to learn more about the sport, we have Cheshire Polo Club on our doorstep. For over a hundred years, Cheshire Polo Club, though with a relatively new name, is one of the longest established in the western world, having been formed by an amalgamation of Manchester, Bowden and Wirral.
