Australia showed their fans why they should believe the World Cup is returning to Australia with a 25-8 win over Zambia on the fourth day of the 2019 Adina Polocrossse World cup, the biggest win for any team in the group stages. Both countries were already through to the group stages but this match would Read more…
South Africa made the semi finals of the 2019 Adina Polocrosse World Cup tonight with a 18-11 win over the UK but it wasn’t the most polished performance from either team in what was overall a fairly scrappy and low scoring affair. Indeed up until chukka 5 the average number of goals per chukka was Read more…
The shocks continued on day three of the Adina Polocrosse World Cup as Ireland overcame New Zealand, the team who the day before beat the current World Champions South Africa. New Zealand went into the match as strong favourites and Ireland as big underdogs but that probably suited Ireland better, they are a team who Read more…
Zimbabwe overcame a battling USA side 19-17 to finish third in their pool with the USA in fourth. It was clearly a match both teams felt they could win, having both lost to Australia and Zambia already. It looked initially like Zimbabwe might run away with it but the USA fought themselves back into the Read more…
New Zealand pulled off the first world cup upset as they overcame the ruling world champions South Africa by 16 goals to 14 on day 2 of the Adina Polocrosse World Cup. With most of the Australia crowd behind them they lead from the start, though South Africa did draw level at 12 all at Read more…

The second match of the second day of the Adina Polocrossse World Cup saw another local derby as neighbours Zimbabwe and Zambia took each other on. Going into the match the view was that Zambia should win this match and in doing so secure their semi final spot. Zimbabwe had lost to Australia on the Read more…
The first match of day two of the Adina Polocrosse World Cup saw a local derby between the UK and Ireland. Both teams were coming off the back of defeats on day one and both desperately needed a win to keep any hopes of a semi final place alive. The UK had a bad day Read more…
The final match of the first day at the 2019 Adina Polocrossse World Cup was Zambia versus the USA. Zambia are a fairly well known quantity, they came second last time and their team is broadly unchanged, as they look to go one better this time. The USA, on the other hand, have quite a Read more…
South Africa started their campaign for a straight third world cup win today with a match against Ireland. Only the most fanantical Ireland fan would probably have ever believed they could overcome the double world champions but what most of their fans will probably be happy with is that they got this match out the Read more…
