Kenya’s top seven players are ready for battle in the grueling Bwana Beg Polo championships that begin tomorrow at the Northern Kenya Polo Club, in Timau.

These players have gained vast experience having represented Kenya in numerous international championships.

The seven are; handicap 5 Jammie Murray, Casmir Gross (4.5), George Mc Kork (3.5), Craig Millar (3.5), Richard Stonewigg (3), Tarquin Gross (3) and Archie Voorspuy (2.5).

The players will be pooled in different groups in the fixtures that will be released today afternoon ahead of the three-day tournament that begins tomorrow.

According to the tournament director George Mc Kork, the fixtures will be released once they are approved by relevant bodies of Kenya Polo Association.

“It has been hectic but fixtures will be released by the end of today (tomorrow) for all players to know their teammates and plan ahead in all the matches,” Mc Cork told Standard Sports.
