The historic Barriere Deauville Polo Cup will come to an end on Sunday August 28, with the much anticipated final of the Coupe d’Or, the flagship tournament of the series, that will see an all-French contest, that indeed guarantees great polo at Deauville International Polo Club, as two of the most powerful organisations in French polo will go head-to-head for the coveted golden trophy – the undefeated Jean-Francois Decaux’s Brittany and Edouard Carmignac’s Talandracas, who only lost one match thoroghout the competition, precisely against Brittany on August 11.
So, this final, due at 5,30pm, will have some extra spice – whether Brittany will have the opportunity to end the Coupe d’Or unbeaten, whether Talandracas will bounce back and have their rematch from the previous loss.
In the meantime, Mungo claimed the third place after a 8-7 victory over Barriere, the winners of the Coupe d’Argent, in the match played on Saturday August 27.
The Coupe d’Or, established in 1950, is the most important tournament of the prestigious Barriere Deauville Polo Cup at Deauville International Polo Club, set in Normandy, Northwest France.
The final of the Coupe d’Or, due on Sunday August 28 at 5,30pm, WILL BE STREAMED LIVE ON POLOLINE TV HERE.
