Four matches of the 25th Campeonato Argentino del Interior con Hándicap (the Argentinian Up-Country –Handicap- Championship) were played on Friday, May 4th at the Estancia Grande Polo Club, in the province of San Luis, Argentina.

Chapaleufú overwhelmed La Loma de Zamora 15-8, San Gonzalo Tres de Fierro comfortably defeated Tres de Fierro 14-9, Club Hípico Gualeguaychú also had a relatively easy win against Tunuyán Polo Club, and 9 de Caballería narrowly defeated Tapia Polo Club 11-9.

All of which leads to Chapaleufú (from La Pampa province) facing 9 de Caballería (from Corrientes) –both undefeated so far- in the tournament's final on Saturday, May 5th. Ten teams, with handicaps ranging between 10 and 16 goals, have been competing in the event.
