Rain storms Wexford Ireland polo tournament and the craic was mighty

Feel free to share:

WHILE the polo tournament in Wexford Ireland faced off against Storm Elsa and lost 1-nil, the cold and rainy evening that followed the first day of polo in fine, if overcast weather earlier this month was made all the warmer with an evening barbecue under cloud-covered stars.

Bunclody Polo Club hosts Robert and Margaret Hogg laid on a magnificent barbecue in the grounds of Bunclody Polo Club in Wexford Ireland

With everyone sated on great food laid on at Bunclody Polo Club no one made much of a move to head away into the misty wet night, away from the warmth of the fire and good company.

Sisters Sinead and Jennifer Doyle had as much fun at the evening barbecue in Bunclody Polo Club as they did playing polo in their tournaments

A cold and rainy night at Bunclody Polo Club in Wexford Ireland was a good reason to get up and dance to the music for Hazel Valentine (left), Jennifer Healy, Emily Beere and Jennifer Doyle

All good things must come to an end, but it wasn’t until next morning the decision was made to postpone the outcome of the tournament when better weather prevails.
