Alexandre Garese’s La Magdeleine recovered from their lost against Dubai, and earned their second win in the British Open Polo Championship for the Cowdray Gold Cup, after an impressive 14-11 win over Green Gates, the latter being one of the most remarkable surprises of the competition. The single match was played at Brooks on Saturday July 8. 

It is worth noting Pablo MacDonough’s remarkable performances, that make him one of the most crucial players of the current high goal season in England. In addition, Pablo is the top scorer of the tournament, having produced 30 goals, overcoming Sapo Caset, with 29 up-to-date. Once again, La Magdeleine displayed their best team play, and remain on the same path that led them to win the Trippett’s Challenge and be the runner up of the Queen’s Cup.

A very busy Sunday is expected at Cowdray, with three games, and, as usual, it will be awarded the Argentine Ambassador Cup, following the clash between Park Place and Monterosso, as a tribute to the Argentine Independence Day, on July 9.

The final of the British Open Polo Championship for the Cowdray Gold Cup is due on Sunday July 23.
