Big-hitting 2011 Polocrosse World Cup could help sponsors reach their goalJuly 2011 will see hundreds of horses arrive in Yorkshire, along with a crowd of unpretentious, young and exceptionally fit sports men and women competing on behalf of their country in the 2011 World Cup.
This is Polocrosse - the up and coming horse sport, huge in Australia and without question on its way up here.
A cross between Polo and Lacrosse, Polocrosse is played outside, on horseback. Each rider uses a stick with a net to carry, throw and catch the rubber ball. The objective is to score goals by throwing the ball between your opponent's goal posts.
Host
"Around in the UK since the 80s, there's no 'thirty years of hurt' as far as Polocrosse is concerned - we're actually quite good at it.
"In 2011 it's the UK's turn to host the Polocrosse 2011 World Cup. The teams competing are United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, Zimbabwe, Zambia and the United States of America.
"Sponsorship packages will be tailored to the requirements of the brand in question, although there will be specific opportunities for a headline World Cup 2011 sponsor".
