Similar to what happened with the initial phase of the 2010 Argentina Polo Tour, the beginning of the series’ second phase has had to be postponed, due to heavy rainfalls in the area of Buenos Aires and its suburbs. The playing fields to be used are those which the Asociación Argentina de Polo has in Buenos Aires’ Palermo district, and in the outskirts of the city, at Pilar.
With the weather conditions now apparently improving, the first four matches have been rescheduled for this Thursday (4th), the fixture being as follows: Valartis Bank vs. La Ginevra and Olden Zebra vs. La Picaza, both these matches at Pilar; and Tregar vs. Cabreuva and Tom Taylor vs. Boca Polo Team; both at Palermo. Timetables are the same as originally planned, while the rest of the scheduled dates remain unchanged.
