Action from The Women’s Nations Cup Final England defeated in Final
8-2 win for Argentina
Three teams, USA, England and Argentina, took part in The Women’s Nations Cup tournament, which was played in an eight chukka, 4½ minute format and included two 10 goal players (Hazel Jackson and Lía Salvo) and six players who had taken part in The V HSBC Women’s Argentine Open. The first day of play on Monday 13 December saw England narrowly defeat USA, 8½-7, while the second day of action saw a 9½-6 win for Argentina against USA, which meant it was Argentina vs England in the Final on Thursday 16 December Final in Palermo.
On the day of the Final, Lia Salvo led her Argentine side with strong defence combined with an impressive offense, which saw England only able to score from two penalties, while Milagros Sánchez was the top goal scorer of the tournament with 10 goals; it has been a strong season for Sánchez who was also the top goal scorer of The V HSBC Women’s Argentine Open with 22 goals.
At the post-match presentations, Lia Salvo was named Most Valuable Player and Tan Zorra, played by Azucena Uranga was the Argentine Polo Pony Breeders Assn. Best Playing Pony.

U.S. Junior Open Test Match
Joaquin Avendaño chases down Santino Magrini
On Friday 14 January, International Polo Club Palm Beach (IPC) in Wellington, Florida hosted the first ever U.S. Junior Open Test Match, sponsored by U.S. Polo Assn. The tournament is open to players 21-years-old and younger and is the first open tournament for young players in the US, Hope Arellano who was part of the winning Port Mayaca line-up commented, “Overall, it was an incredible tournament and a great idea. I don’t think it could have gone better for the first year. I would love to see it played again next year.”
The inaugural match got off to a slow start, with not many goals scored, missed opportunities and fouls hanging over the young teams and the first half ended 3-1 to Port Mayaca. The third chukka saw Port Mayaca begin to click and they gained momentum in the fourth chukka, which saw Santino Magrini pick up the pace for his team; Hilario Figueras kept his team in the game with his second goal of the match in the fifth chukka, however Magrinin quickly replied to maintain Port Mayaca’s lead and they went into the final chukka leading 6-2. Figueras tried to bring Dutta Corp/Show+ back into contention with two more goals, but the Magrini brothers had other ideas and scored to end the match with an 8-4 win for Port Mayaca. Santino Magrini was awarded the Most Valuable Player prize and Don
Ercole Maria, played by Keko Magrini, was named the Best Playing Pony.
U.S. Junior Open Test Match Teams:
Port Mayaca (14): Hope Arellano (2), Nico Diaz Alberdi (4), Kristos ‘Keko’ Magrini (3) & Santino Magrini (5) Dutta Corp/Show+ (13): Jack Whitman (1), Timmy Dutta (4), Joaquin Avendaño (3) & Hilario Figueras (5)
