BURNINGFOLD POLO CLUB
Established in 2007 Burningfold Polo Club is fully affiliated to the Hurlingham Polo Association.
Burningfold combines the amenities available at professional clubs with a more relaxed atmosphere associated with a family-run polo club.
As hosts we encourage integration and participation, we combine high standards of safety with good old fashioned fun.
Derreck Bratley
Derreck Bratley, 4 Goal professional player. Originally from South Africa, Derreck was introduced to polo by his Grandfather and has been playing ever since. Based in England for the last 15 years he represented his country at international level, reaching a handicap of 5 goals. He has played in the Gold Cup at Cowdray for Les Lions with, and against, some of the best players in the world, and is also a grade A umpire.
