There are two young guns facing each other and they have a lot of help right there with them . David (Pelon) Stirling a underrated 9 goal player 10 everywhere else in the World has shown that being a 9 goal ringer is just like being a 1 goal one and he is there to prove it he has some very good help with his Patron of the EL Remanso Team George and Charles Hanbury and he brought a well know Guillermo Terra to help them . Pelon actually from Uruguay near Argentina mostly grew up in Spain where his Father David senior turned Sotogrande in to one of the favorite Polo clubs of Europe easily the most popular place on the Continent after Britain. The British Gold Cup maybe the most important and desired Cup in Polo which includes an Amateur is it 22 goals 4 less than the US Open and many less than the Argentine Open which has no true amateurs as Sponsors. With 16 teams this year and 20 last year it is far ahead of any other Major Polo tournaments on the Planet. El Remanso which I have to find out what it means is one of the very few double Amateur teams to make the finals in the last few decades although Charles is 4 goals not much or maybe any lower than the best amateur in the World today and George has to be in the top 1 % as well and best of all they stopped the # uno in the World Adolpho Cambiaso to get here in the semis was unable to see it as there were tv issues on filming. It is not a done deal however they have a very big task ahead of them . They face a team of 4 flags in some ways and they are Cortium led by Adrian Kirby maybe an Englishman a very good if not the best Chilean Player Jamie Huiodbro and one Argentine named Francisco Elizade the star of the team is a US citizen with an Argentine name as famous as the Heguys or the Harriots ( Pieres ) as in many times World Champs Gonzalo and Alfonso and sons of the family Gonzalo and Facundo and Tomas but this unknown cousin has been making a name for himself even if he was born in the USA he was easliest the most underrated high goal player in Fl. last season and seems to be a equal ringer to Pelon in England so it easy to see why the best ringers win and one will. His name is Polito Pieres and he was born in the USA but maybe not exactly a native but just the same a very good Polo player and person both of these teams deserve to be there from all I can learn they did not have a walk in the park and they will be there come Sunday afternoon and about 3 p.m. UK time you can see it live on Pololine.tv So that is about 7 a.m. Ca. time or 10 in New York. So see it and go watch your local Polo here in SB it will be Dan Walkers Long Beach FNC taking on Big Ben Solemonis Mansour and a welcome back to former 10 goal American Adam Snow he has been away the last couple of years that also starts at 3 p.m but 8 hours later than London time . Same as in Party Town as San Diego is on fire this summer and Del Mar has not opened yet
On a Sad Note lets all say a prayer for Steven Sadler’s family as he passed away early today from a Polo incident .
See ya at POLO
Not sure if has anything to do with name but El Remanso maybe EL Remanso is a town and municipality in the state of Bahia in the North-East region of Brazil.[
