Let’s go back in time, specifically to the 1950s. It was then that the polo world was dominated by a team called Venado Tuerto, who showed off their skills when playing their classic rivals, El Trébol. Both teams were made up of two pairs of brothers: Menditeguy and Duggan in El Trébol, and Cavanagh and Alberdi in Venado Tuerto.
Activity resumed for the Copa de Oro, of up to 26 goals, that is taking place at Caracas Polo in Tucacas, Venezuela. It was a victory from Caracas Polo over Agualinda by 11-7.
The Ellerstina team, yet to be defeated this season, beat La Aguada 17-10 at Sunday's Zone B match at Tortugas Country Club. As a result, they will now face La Dolfina, top team in Zone A, in the Final for the Emilio de Anchorena Cup on Saturday 17 October.
The way to the final of the Tortugas Open, first competition of the Triple Crown in Argentina, will start on the weekend with the two semifinal matches.
