The victory meant the Army lifted the trophy for the second successive year after they beat the Navy a resounding eight goals to three and a half.

More than 4,000 spectators turned out to enjoy a perfect sunny afternoon at Tidworth Polo Club to be treated not just Queen's grandsons, but also the Blues and Royals star player, Cornet Harry Wales, who scored three goals in the annual inter-service tussle.

The scoreline did not reflect the hard fought contest in a match of drama, speed, horsemanship and skill. The Army conceded a one and half point handicap to the senior service but soon made up the deficit and ran out worthy winners.

Named after the Governor of Malta, Sir Leslie Rundle, the Rundle Cup dates back to 1909 when it was first played for on the Mediterranean island. The Royal Navy won the first match, with the Army victorious in the last to be played on the island in 1966. The annual trophy game was revived in 1976 with a team that included Lt HRH the Prince of Wales leading the Navy team to success on that occasion.
