La Ensenada RS Murus Sanctus and La Irenita Grand Champions are due to play the championship match of the Subsidiary Sarmiento Cup on Friday October 7, prior to the big clash in the final of the 82nd. Tortugas Open between La Natividad and Ellerstina. The first leg of the prestigious Triple Crown of Argentina, and the most coveted polo trophy worldwide, sees eight teams between 29 and 39 goal, in participation.
It is worth noting that this is a very important contest as was the case last year, the fixture for the Hurlingham Open, that will kick off on Tuesday October 11 in Pilar, will depend on the results of the Tortugas Open.
Also, it is a very interesting game to watch. La Ensenada RS Murus Sanctus maintained 50% of their lineup. Former La Ensenada members, Alfredo Bigatti and Jerónimo del Carril have joined forces with the remaining players of RS Murus Sanctus, Facundo Sola and Guillermo Caset, in order to form a partnership between Corinne Ricard (RS Murus Sanctus) and Ernesto Gutierrez (La Ensenada). La Irenita Grand Champions, the MacDonough family’s team, that have no less than three teams competing in the current Triple Crown, is led by Pablo MacDonough, joined by Juan Britos, Francisco Elizalde and Juan Martín Zubía.
