AMID A CLUTCH
OF CAMBIASOS
H
istory was made at Guards
Polo Club last June when three
members of the Cambiaso
family took to the field on Access Bank
Day. Adolfo Cambiaso and his daughter
Mia rode out for Access Bank, while
10-year-old Adolfito (Poroto) was in
action for the opposing side. Both
children have clearly inherited their
father’s polo skills and it is surely only
a matter of time before we see them in
action in their own right. This charity
day, the second year at Smith’s Lawn and
66
raising funds for UNICEF, featured two
exhibition matches and included several
other star players in the team-sheets,
including Pablo MacDonough, David
Stirling and Juan Martin Nero. Africa’s
key players were also in action, including
our own Damian Duncan, patron of
the Delaney team. HH The Emir of
Kano, who had watched the games
from the Royal Box overlooking the
Queen’s Ground, presented the prizes,
accompanied by Herbert Wigwe and
Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede of Access Bank.
