Ireland to Host 2020 European ChallengeUnfortunately, due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, the European Challenge was cancelled for 2020 & 2021. Ireland have expressed their interest in hosting the event at the next possible occasion.
Ireland have been selected by members of the European Polocrosse Council to host the 2020 European Challenge. After proposing a successful bid, which included some very generous sponsorship deals with companies such as TRM Nutrition, Bennett Polocrosse & Orchard Equestrian, a decision was made for the competition to be held in Ireland on August 1st & 2nd.

Polocrosse
Polocrosse is a team sport that is played all over the world. It is a combination of polo and lacrosse. It is played outside, on a field (the pitch), on horseback. Each rider uses a cane stick to which is attached a racquet head with a loose, thread net, in which the ball is carried. The ball is made of sponge rubber and is approximately four inches across. The objective is to score goals by throwing the ball between the opposing team's goal posts.Anyone who can ride a horse can play polocrosse, which also helps improve riding skills. All ages and abilities are encouraged to play and the Pony Club have recognised polocrosse as a horse sport.
