About Hamburger Polo Club
The German vice champions last season were in outstanding form before Christmas sitting top of the Bundesliga by seven points while they advanced in great fashion from the KO16.
There, they won a strong battle with England’s Wimbledon 4-2 before sweeping by the challenge of Saint Germain 7-2 to take up their place in the FINAL8 for a second time.
They have an impressive line-up with German star Justus Weigand joining from Mannheimer HC this season while goalkeeper Joshua Onyekwue Nnaji is another arrival having been the goalkeeper of the year in the Bundesliga when with Crefelder HTC.
Theirs is a squad with plenty of southern hemisphere influence once again with New Zealanders Kane Russell, Sean Findlay and Nic Woods lining up with Australians Tim Brand and Tom Craig.
Weigand has eight goals since joining the club, two behind top scorers Brand and Paul Smith.
There is also a healthy Austrian influence with Benny Kölbl and Leon Thörnblom in the panel, augmenting German legend Matthias Müller and Paul-Philipp Kaufmann.
