I have no idea..
Is there a Spanish theme at all?
Is it some form of polo?

No - neither polo nor Spanish - although the word does have a different meaning in Moorish Spain.
It's a traditional name for a couple of sports, but is still used to refer to the most popular sport in parts of a country very, very close to here. The word also translates as 'testicle'...

Is it tossing the caber?

I'm not sure that qualifies as a ball sport - and Erse speakers aren't known for caber tossing either.

It's one of the very few amateur sports left - is probably the most popular sport in its country, watched by crowds of up to 80,000.

I used to watch in Watford when it was played at Oxhey Park - although that was around 40 years ago & may not happen anymore.
