Delaney Ghana defeated Ham Club of Great Britain 7-2 to lift the Independence Cup after an exciting polo encounter at the Accra Polo Grounds last Saturday.

Delaney Ghana, representing Accra Polo Club, established their superiority over their opponents after beating them in the UK in a similar game last year.

The Ghanaians dominated the entire four-chukka duel watched by a good crowd to commemorate Ghana’s 59th Independence Anniversary.

However, a Ham Polo Club select side beat Accra Polo Club select team 5-4 in the mixed team friendly last Sunday to lift the Trustees’ Cup.

The special four-day Independence Polo Festival was expected to end on Monday with the PW St Patrick's Cup match between Vanguard Ghana and Ham Great Britain.

The impressive fun-packed programme began last Friday with the Friendship Cup game which saw DSG Ghana beating Ham Great Britain 9 goals to six- and-a-half.

The Captain of the Accra Polo Club, Mr Kwakye Dopoah-Dei, was full of praise for his teammates and assured polo fans of more successes ahead of this season.
