MEET HANNAH! OUR POLOCROSSE INSTRUCTOR

We would like to introduce Hannah Davitt, our very own Polocrosse instructor. At 20 years old, Hannah's journey with Polo began at 13 when Area 8 visited Deanswood, where she’s been an active member of our pony club. She was immediately hooked—buying a racquet that same day—and has been playing ever since. We're incredibly proud of Hannah’s growth within our pony club, and her impressive list of achievements speaks for itself. Hannah was awarded the title of Pony Club Champion, further showcasing her talent and commitment to the sport. She’s represented Ireland in the 4 Nations, played for England in the 4 Nations, and captained the UK Under 21 team. She’s also competed in the Ladies Open (UK vs Barbarians) and has been selected to play in the Ladies Open in Zimbabwe next year!
