After a two-day rest, the action kicked off once again at KwaZulu-Natal’s Durban Shongweni Club in the Valley of 1000 Hills on Day 4 of the 2024 Ignition Group Polocrosse World Cup.

Thursday saw the Northern Hemisphere teams Ireland and the UK go head-to-head in the first round of playoffs, with Ireland victorious with a score of 27-22. The second round of playoffs saw Zimbabwe beat the USA 28-17.

The South African Development side also got the chance to take on the Rest of the World Barbarian side, featuring players from South America, Canada, and Europe, among others – with the up-and-coming South African side taking a narrow win of 16-15.
