Polo does not discriminate: Rowena Stichbury

IMPHAL, Nov 23: “Polo is perhaps the only game in which there is no discrimination between the sexes where the female of the species plays on equal footing with their male counterparts”’ said Rowena Stichbury, the only lady polo player taking part in the 10th Manipur Polo International, 2016. This being so, Rowena does not believe in giving any quarters while on the polo field nor does she expect any from her male team-mates or opponents. A dictum she passes on to her daughter Izzy, all of 14 years, who is also a polo player, “ do not expect any special treatment just because you are a girl”.
