The Mont Blanc Open was played during the weekend of Pentecost at Polo Club de Veytay.
3 teams competed in a round-robin (each team playing 2 chukkers against the two other formations). After 3 days of matches, it's finally the "Al Maha" team who won the Cup, scoring the point of victory in the last minute of the game! Followed closely by "Cardo" team and "Lyceum Alpinum".
The "Lyceum Alpinum" team came directly from Zuoz in Grisons to play this Cup; this formation, composed by four young talented players coming from all over the world and studying there showed great skills during the weekend. We are looking forward to welcome them again next year!
Thank you to Melanie Kopinski, who came especially from Dubai to play and obviously, to Mr. Patrick Antaki, General Director of the Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa in Dubai for his support and generosity during this tournament.
