All of the teams playing in the U.S.P.A. Gold Cup are rated 26-goals. So what’s the problem? Today Adolfo Cambiaso and Mr. McCall actually skunked a team at this level and they are the U.S. Open defending champions. The score of this game was 14 to 0 in the 4th minute of the 6th chukker. That is a bonifide a_ _ beating anywhere in any polo, but it was that way. New Bridge La Dolfina destroyed Los Monjitas.
In another game Lechuza did a real good job of thumping San Saba and it was a couple goals closer as Bendabout won as well. In action yesterday Little Mac (Frederick Mannix) beat Orchard Hill in a closer game but not until the 5th as La Hedurra came home a winner so tournament 2 is under way and its called the Gold Cup and there are few friends talking these days you see polo is big buisness down south they play polo on green grass with boards and lines and they have professional umpires scorers , timers and all this yes they charge for it but they get it as well so it pays to play good polo players and clubs to play.
see ya
