Semi-finals coming up at Washington Polo Club, Argentina

Top four teams prepare for battle in Copa Full Grass

In this, its 108th anniversary, the Washnigton Polo Club -in the province of Córdoba- went ahead with a massive tournament, the Copa Full Grass, with no less than 12 teams taking part (handicaps, 7 to 15 goals), and with the presence of the sport’s leading player, Adolfo Cambiaso, Jr.

Despite this top player in its line-up, his team was not able to make into the semi-final. The final round of qualifying matches went ahead on Saturday, April 28th and these were results: Los Pingos del Taita 10 vs. Syngenta 7; El Colibrí 7 vs. Lindsay 6; Pannar 7 vs. Toyota-Alianz 6; Alfalfar 8 vs. Aeropuertos Argentina 2000 7; and Latam Agro 9 vs. Grupo Slots 8.

All of which has led to the following (Sunday 29th) semi-final fixtures: Pannar (the only undefeated team so far) vs. Latam Agro, and El Colibrí vs. Los Pingos del Taita.
