Scotland Returns to Newport Polo for the 13th Time this Saturday

On Saturday, June 16th at 5pm, Scotland returns to Newport Polo for its 13th campaign against USA at the polo grounds at Glen Farm 

The 6-chukker exhibition polo match will mount USA, looking to even the record of wins against rival Scotland, for a duration of approximately 2 hours.  The match will conclude with a trophy presentation, autograph signing and après polo Scottish Stovie dinner celebration (sold separately, by advanced reservation).

Returning for Scotland will be Jamie Douglas Sr., James Douglas Jr., Hiro Suzuki and Mike Christopherson. “Polo is an international sport, played in over 80 countries around the globe, and we are honored to have teams traveling great distances to play in Newport,” stated Dan Keating, captain of the USA squad.  A following of Scottish fans from throughout the region will be in attendance at the match, wearing kilts and waving ‘the Saltire’ St. Andrews cross in lively support of their fellow countrymen. 

Tickets to the match ($15 for General Admission and $25 for Pavilion seating) are available online at www.nptpolo.com
