At the start of the seventh date (fourth in Zone A) of the 129th HSBC Argentine Polo Open, the Argentine Beef Cup was in the hands of La Irenita Grand Champions , who continues undefeated in the tournament after winning on Saturday 11/19 La Irenita Gsquared by 15-9 on field 2 in Palermo .
Pablo Mac Donough's team did not have too many problems defeating the third team from the La Irenita organization and managed the process from the beginning, when they took a six-goal lead that was impossible for the youngsters from Gsquared to match. Juano Britos and Segundo Bocchino, with 5 goals, were the scorers of the match.
Then, starting at 4:30 p.m., the formations of La Natividad , the defending champion of the contest that will not have the South African Ignatius du Plessis, injured, who will be replaced by Alfredo Cappella Barabucci, will play in the 1, vs. La Ensenada RS Murus Sanctus - a team that needs to win to continue with chances of accessing the final -, which will not have Jerónimo del Carril, suspended, who will be replaced by Matías Torres Zavaleta. The Motorola Cup will be at stake in this match.
