This summer’s matches have been some of the most exciting in the sport of polo, as the East End’s most high-profile and influential audience of VIPs, celebrities and media watched the sport’s greatest athletes compete for one of polo’s most treasured prizes. This season’s final match was one of the sport’s most anticipated events.

The season commenced on Saturday, July 18th and continued for six consecutive Saturdays, ending this Saturday, August 22nd. Black Watch competed against White Birch on Saturday, August 22, 2009.

Season partners included: Mercedes-Benz, Diamond Teak, Piaget, Blue Star Jets, Coca-Cola, Stoli Elit, Riva Yachts, illy issimo, and Rose’s Mojito Cocktail Mix.

Hamptons Magazine, the Closing Day’s sponsor, is the most highly regarded publication in the Hamptons, is the authority for the wealthy, socially conscious and sophisticated residents of this Long Island enclave.

Polo Ralph Lauren returned this summer as the exclusive apparel retailer with an onsite shop at the Bridgehampton Polo matches. Evocative of the spirit and heritage of Polo, the shop will feature Ralph Lauren’s Black Watch collection and The World of Polo Fragrance. Spectators visiting the Ralph Lauren shop had a great view of the polo matches and were able to enter to win a Polo lesson with Black Watch team member Nacho Figueras. Polo Ralph Lauren became an official sponsor of the Black Watch Polo team in 2007, providing apparel created exclusively for the polo players.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
