Argentina - Junior Polo
Youngsters and kiddies have their day of days
Record-setting amount of teams in Copa Potrillos
This was not just any other day for the younger ones. It was one of their day of days. Most past and present polo stars in Argentina have at some time taken part in the Copa Potrillos, and many of those taking part in the edition of December 8th this year will surely be tomorrow's stars.
There was a record entry for this year's edition of the event, which led to its taking place at the Mindanao Polo Club, in Pilar (Buenos Aires outskirts) instead of at Los Indios, where it has usually been played. In the Potrillos division (up to 14 years old) there were 31 teams competing, in Potrillitos (up to 11 years old) there were 18, and in Mini-Potrillitos (up to 9 years old) there were 10 teams, making it a total of 236 youngsters, or 59 teams.
The Copa Mini Mini-Potrillitos also went ahead, in which all teams received medals and prizes. In Mini-Potrillitos, Las Alazanas took home the major prize, followed by runners-up Coronel Suárez, and in Potrillitos, the Velay - La Oración team were the winners, followed by Coronel Suárez.
Prior to the Cámara de Diputados final, on Sunday, December 11th , on field two at Palermo, the final of the Copa Potrillos was played, with La Lucila defeating Martindale 6-5, in OT, with Victorino Díaz scoring the golden goal. The umpires were Juan Martín Nero and David Stirling, Jr, both of whom formed part of this year's Abierto de Palermo-winning team.
