Tue 13th Aug 2024Coupe d’Argent & Ladies Cup in DeauvilleSuccess for Marques de Riscal & Doma Angels
On Saturday 10 August, the Final of The 10th Deauville Ladies Cup took place at Deauville Polo Club between Doma Angels and Augustinus Bader. The two teams had already met in the qualifying rounds when Doma Angels won by one goal and from the second half it was clear that they would secure their second win against Augustinus Bader, with the combination of the Venot sisters (Pearl and Elena) who have been playing together since childhood and scored seven and three goals respectively, resulting in a 10-6 win. Besos, a 16-year-old horse bred by Edouard Carmignac by Besos Eternos and played by Pearl Venot was named Best Playing Pony and Pearl Venot received the Most Valuable Player award. On Sunday 11 August, The Coupe d'Argent - Trophée Diane Barrière took place between Marques de Riscal (winners of the Coupe d'Or here in 2020) and the Coupe d'Or holders, the Barrière team captained by Frenchwoman Isabelle Larenaudie. The outcome was undecided until the fourth chukka in what had been a very defensive match, which only saw one goal in the fourth chukka. Sapo Caset, the highest handicapped player, took charge and helped to secure the win for Marques de Riscal, 9-7. The Barriere Deauville Polo Cup continues with The Coupe d’Or which begins tomorrow, Tuesday 13 August with the Final scheduled for Sunday 25 August.
