This print captures the intense atmosphere of the Social Clubs cup final at Polo in the prestigious Hurlingham Club. The match was contested between two formidable teams, Bucks Club A and Bucks Club B, with victory ultimately favoring the latter. In this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, we see the triumphant members of Bucks Club B proudly posing for a team photo after their well-deserved win. The three central figures are W Samford sitting elegantly on his horse, flanked by Earl Hopping and Sir E Horlick. Their expressions reflect a mix of exhaustion from an exhilarating game and sheer joy from emerging as champions. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this twentieth-century image, allowing us to appreciate every detail captured by Central News photographers.
