Some of Ireland's top jockeys and trainers took part in a charity polo match hosted by the All Ireland Polo Club at Phoenix Park on Sunday. The event, sponsored by NFP, an Aon Company, and Matheson, raised vital funds for the Down Syndrome Centre and raised awareness for the Together Academy, two organisations committed to empowering children and young adults with Down syndrome.

The matches featured jockeys Colin Keane, Gary Carroll, Sam Ewing, Jack Kennedy, Billy Lee and Keith Donoghue, with the trainers in opposition including Tony Martin, Gavin Cromwell, Fozzy Stack, Kate Harrington, Robbie Power and Ross O'Sullivan. The highest-scoring team was awarded Treo Eile gilets, while each participant received a Dublin Crystal plaque sponsored by Derville Meade in recognition of their participation.
