The British Army have beaten the Royal Navy to retain the Rundle Cup in a tightly contested fixture in Tidworth. 

The Army came into this year's game as the defending champions and a score of 5-3 was enough to for the victory. 

The Army led the game all the way despite a strong fightback from the Navy, who were looking to take the title back from the Army.

At the conclusion of the Rundle Cup, a fixture between the UK Armed Forces and UK Veterans was contested for the Indian Cavalry Officers' Association Trophy. 

The UK Veterans controlled and commanded the game from start to finish scoring a total of six goals.

The UK Armed Forces came back strong, but narrowly missed out on the win with a final score of 5.5 to 6.
