Zimbabwe vs SA Masters 2017

Last weekend had the Zimbabwe and SA master finally met again in an almighty clash at Bulawayo Country Club.

It was a jam packed weekend, not only of Polocrosse but also a huge amount of fun- the SA and Zim players have met many a time in the past and have built up life long friendships. We are still waiting for the results of the boat races but here are the teams and results- with Zimbabwe clinching the series in a goal count.
