The Richard Mille Polo Team wins Deauville Gold Cup
More than 900 people gathered in Deauville, one of the most prestigious seaside resorts in France, to attend what was expected to be a highly competitive match. Scores were very close until Richard Mille prevailed 14 to 12 at the last chukker with two penalties converted by Pablo McDonough. Royal Barriere's fierce fight back levelled the score 14–all just when the match went into overtime. A hard fought extra chukker led to a 60-yards penalty for Richard Mille and declared the team's victory.
