In support of development of the Australian Women’s Polo Circuit and what is easily the most exciting progression for ladies polo in Australia to date, Ellerston Polo Club on behalf of Mrs Ros Packer and Glen Gilmore, have extended the opportunity for state selected women’s polo teams representing NSW, VIC, QLD and SA, to play against each other at the Ellerston Autumn tournament this coming March, 2016.

Teams will be selected by State Association selection committees. 

Qualifying players will have played in at least one dedicated Australian Women’s polo tournament in the last 12 months, inclusive of the tournament to be held at Mingela Polo Club in Victoria on the 9th and 10th of February 2016. Mingela will be the final selection tournament before Ellerston.

Players must be registered in Australia and hold a current Australian Handicap.

For further information please contact Mr Michael Fitz-Henry on 0400 601 302 f-hpolo@bigpond.com

We continue to look forward to a great year for women’s polo in Australia.
