Rundle Cup day, the highlight of Tidworth Polo Club's season, is taking place on Saturday 12^th July 2008 in the grounds of Tedworth House, Tidworth, Wiltshire.

Rundle Cup day combines the dramatic speed and skill of two top class polo matches and the light-hearted good humour of well-known jockeys and eventers attempting to play polo - both on bicycles and horses - in a charity match. The beautiful setting of Tedworth House and grounds is an ideal backdrop for the day, which has steadily grown in popularity over the years and now attracts over 4,000 spectators.

The main event will be the Rundle Cup polo match at 4.30pm, the traditionally hard-fought contest between The Royal Navy and Army, sponsored by Hackett.  The Indian Cavalry Officers Polo Trophy, sponsored by DRS Technologies, will take place at 2.30pm between The Combined Services and a visiting national team.

The day will start at noon with the fun Jockeys v Eventers polo match in aid of INSPIRE, the Salisbury-based charity which fights the effects of spinal cord injury by researching the latest medical and mechanical technology. Among those expected to take part are eventers Zara Phillips, William Fox-Pitt and Clayton and Lucinda Fredericks. This will be followed by a wheel chair race and a two-furlong dash horse race.

Adding to the day's entertainment will be a parachute jump from the Royal Armoured Corps and Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers Free-fall Parachute Display Team and music from the Band of HM Royal Marines Lympstone.
