Jamaica vs. AMERICA ends 9 to 6! The Yardies took command and never let up.
Team Jamaica looked strong all match. The USA had two goals called back due to an infraction. The USA fought hard all match to close the gap but just couldn't find that gear.
Family friendly, dog friendly, and of course gun finger friendly.
Caleb Bryden put Jamaica on the board in the first chukker. Zac Byles, Bryden and Craig Russell made it 4–2 in the third, and Russell's two in the fifth pushed it to 8–3. Rory Torrey scored four for the USA, two of them in a late push in the last chukker, but Shane Chin closed it out. Russell finished with four goals, Bryden with three. That's back-to-back Liberty Bowls for Jamaica, after a 10–7 win in 2025.
The environment was upscale but extremely chill. Nothing like polo in England, where you're not allowed to park close to the pitch or even drink anything but Earl Grey tea. This event in Rhode Island was family friendly, dog friendly, and of course gun finger friendly. Every time Team Jamaica scored, the collective would wave the Jamaica flag and bust a blank.
This was the 27th USA vs Jamaica match of the Newport International Polo Series, a rivalry that goes back to 1994, played on BD Field at the Newport Polo Grounds in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, during Newport Polo's 150th anniversary season. Visit Jamaica was the match sponsor.
