Amended dates released
The Hurlingham Polo Association (HPA) initially released their 2020 UK Victor Ludorum dates back on Friday 17 April, but this draft did not include the Victrix Ludorum nor the 4 and 6 goal Victor Ludorum. However, the HPA have now released a revised 2020 Victor and Victrix Ludorum Fixture List which covers all levels of the Victor Ludorum (4 to 22 goal), the 18 goal Victrix Ludorum.Some of the changes include: in the 22 goal The Prince of Wales Trophy will now begin on 12 June (rather than 13 June as originally stated) and The Trippetts Challenge will not be included; in the 15 goal The County Cup at Cirencester Park Polo Club has been moved from 16 June, to now beginning on 1 September (which has in turn pushed back the Arthur Lucas) and The Eduardo Moore at RCBPC will now start on 23 June (previous date was 30 June). Plus, the proposed dates for the 4 and 6 goal Victor Ludorum have also now been included.
