Valiente retains All Star Challenge title

Valiente claimed its second World Polo League All Star Challenge title after defeating SD Farms 12-10 on Sunday at Grand Champions Polo Club. The defending champions had the advantage for most of the game. Fourteen year old Poroto Cambiaso, the only player from last year’s winning team, has now won back-to-back tournament titles in the WPL. 

 

In last year’s All Star Challenge, Valiente (Agustin Nero, Santi Torres, Pablo MacDonough, Poroto Cambiaso) defeated Colorado (Rob Jornayvaz, Juan Martin Zubia, Rodrigo Andrade, Jero del Carril) to claim the title.
