AIKEN, S.C. - Oct. 6, 2014 - PRLog -- Land Rover Columbia will be the presenting sponsor for the 2014 USPA Knox Cup 12 Goal.  The prestigious polo tournament runs from October 3-October 19 at New Bridge Polo & Country Club in Aiken.

This year’s tournament includes four teams (Kenny Ray Personal Fitness, High Ground, Crestview/Karna and Winfield) with players who have participated in many Knox Cup tournaments since its inauguration. Although there are some new faces this year, many of the tournament’s veterans, such as Owen Rinehart, Adam Snow, MatiasMagrini, Alan Meeker, Willie Hartnett, Joe Meyer, Barb Uskup and Will Tankard will return to play.  Tournament action is expected to be very competitive as the teams battle for the Knox Cup.

“New Bridge is pleased to have Land Rover Columbia on board as a sponsor of this historically significant tournament,” said Raza Kazmi, General Manager.  “The combination of our picturesque property and fast paced polo action are the perfect venue to showcase Land Rover‘s vehicles.  We look forward to building a long partnership with them.”

“We are thrilled to support the New Bridge Polo & Country Club heading into the fall of 2014. The Knox Tournament will be our first time sponsoring a New Bridge Polo event and we are proud to be a new partner of such a prominent organization in the polo community,” said Lucan Breedlove, Land Rover Columbia’s Executive General Manager.

The Knox Cup originated in Aiken in 2003 and is played in memory of one of Aiken’s polo greats, Northrup “Norty” Knox.  He was known as one of America’s finest offensive players and the only amateur polo player in the Post-War era to reach an eight-goal rating.  Knox captained the U.S. team in the challenge for the Cup of the Americas in 1966 and 1969 in Buenos Aires, Argentina and was inducted into the Polo Hall of Fame in 1994.

The USPA Knox Cup is just one tournament in the exciting fall season at New Bridge Polo & Country Club. Team rosters, game schedules, field locations and times can be found on www.newbridgepolo.com or by calling the polo information line at (803) 644-7706.  All games are free to the public and spectators are encouraged to attend.
