Dad’s Army beat Frankie’s Rockfield 4–3 to win the 2025 Stanbic Trustees’ Cup at the Accra Polo Club on Saturday evening.
The annual event, held in honour of trustees of the 123-year-old Accra Polo Club, drew a lively crowd for an evening of sport, entertainment, and networking.
Frankie’s Rockfield earned their place in the main fixture after beating the Trustees Team in a qualifying game on Wednesday.
Dad’s Army took the lead in the second of four chukkas, were pegged back twice, but sealed the victory in the closing stages.
Captain of Dad’s Army, Daniel Awuah Darko, expressed delight with the triumph. “It feels very good. Stanbic Bank organised the tournament this year and I’m a very good client of Stanbic Bank. I said I wanted to play for them and I got all my nephews to play with me and I’m very happy we won the trophy.”
Despite the defeat, Frankie’s Rockfield’s Loic Devos was named Most Valuable Player. “It’s been a very hard game but thanks to the team I was named the MVP. It’s an honour,” Devos said.
Gerard Boakye, Chairman of the Social Committee of the Accra Polo Club, said the tournament was “part of efforts to build cohesion among team members and also provide a platform for business to network.”
The match also featured South African 3-goal polo professional Cody Williamson, who turned out for the Frankies Rockfield team.
