South Africa (30 August 2022) – The second major win for South Africa in the Polocrosse arena took place this past week as the team of under-16s travelled to Zimbabwe and came away the victors of all three matches played. Just a week before that, the under-14s came home with the same incredible win from Zambia.

Coach Gavin Cocker supported the team alongside team manager Melissa Price Moor.
Below you can see both the South African and Zimbabwean teams coming together to celebrate the sport.
Polocrosse is a team sport that is a combination of polo and lacrosse. Polo is a popular sport worldwide, while lacrosse is more popular in Northern America, but many countries are adopting the sport. The combined nature of both sports means a fun and active experience for riders.
The South African u16 team won all three of their tests against the Zimbabwe side over the space of three days.
