Magaji Barda (Mags) has been playing polo for a few years and has competed in Zimbabwe, South Africa and Nigeria. He is the Patron of Watson Global Polo Team and plays off a handicap of -1. This is his debut outing at LUX Afrique.

Serena Taylor is a terrible -1 goal player. While she enjoys playing polo, she’s too busy crying at her Investment Banking job to be good owner of her 5 gorgeous polo ponies, let alone ride them. Serena tried to salvage getting rejected from Cambridge University, by getting a 1st from Durham (not really the same thing but we can pretend). After a couple years pretending to do “venture”, she blagged her way into Imperial Business School and has been a corporate slave ever since. She’s competed at 2-10 goal tournaments across the UK, gliding on the coattails of experienced pros and claiming their success as hers. Somehow she bribed the Lux Afrique committee to award her Player of the Match in 2023, and she’s been invited back ever since.
