The Terralpa Silver Cup continued on Thursday at Dos Lunas Polo & Dressage with two medium goal games, while the high goal continued on Friday at Santa María Polo Club. Ayala and Marqués de Riscal (high goal), and John Smith and Cibao La Pampa (medium goal) all claimed wins. The tournament marks the second stage of the 50th Anniversary Torneo Internacional de Polo by La Reserva Club de Sotogrande.
The medium goal at Dos Lunas saw Cibao La Pampa defeat Nairobi by 12 goals to 8 to take their second consecutive win in the tournament. The victory puts them one step closer to the semifinals.
The high goal at Dos Lunas saw La Hacienda bounce back from a 3-goal deficit in the third chukka. They fought hard to defeat BP Polo 12-11 in a thrilling match. Pablo Llorente subbed in for La Hacienda’s Martín Iturraspe, who is injured.
On Friday, high temperatures delayed the match between Ayala and BN Polo scheduled at Santa María Polo Club. As a consequence, two matches had to be played simultaneously. Ayala gave a great performance, taking an impressive 10-5 win over BN Polo. Marqués de Riscal also showed their skills, taking a comfortable 14-7 win over Sainte Mesme.
