La Gold Cup for The British Open, el torneo lÃder en Europa, culminó el domingo 27 de julio en el Cowdray Park de Inglaterra. Considerada como una de las tres principales competiciones de polo del mundo, junto con los Abiertos de Estados Unidos y Argentina, es el tercer torneo de 22 goles de la temporada británica. Trece equipos participaron en el certamen.
Thai Polo NP, que ya se habÃa quedado con el Trofeo PrÃncipe de Gales en la apertura de la temporada alta, en el Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club, volvió a lo más alto de podio y se cargó a uno de los favoritos, UAE Polo Team, que habÃa hecho lo propio adjudicándose de punta a punta la Queen's Cup del Guards Polo Club.
Luego de vencer en la final a UAE por 9 a 7, en una jornada marcada por la lluvia y postergaciones, Thai Polo levantó el trofeo más codiciado del Viejo Continente, de la mano de los hermanos Ned y Louis Hine, James Harper y Nico Pieres, MVP de la definición.
