Played in honour of one of the most beloved and fondly remembered members of the Accra Polo Club community. William lived just across the road from the Club and was a daily presence, whose warmth, humour, and ability to connect with everyone made him a cherished figure. Known for his jovial spirit and infectious energy, William brought joy to all who knew him. As the final tournament on the calendar, the William Essilfie Memorial Trophy serves as a fundraising event for educational charities and is a special occasion to celebrate a successful season filled with fond memories, camaraderie, and the enduring spirit of the Club.
