With the start of the 2017 right around the corner with the opening game of the 20-goal Herbie Pennell Cup on December 29th, eight teams signed up to compete in the Joe Barry Memorial Cup.

The second 20-goal tournament of the season is scheduled to get underway on Thursday, January 4th with the games to be decided following a tournament draw on Friday, December 23rd.

The teams competing in the Joe Barry Cup this year are Coca-Cola (Gillian Johnston, Julian de Lusarreta, Julio Arellano and Del Walton), Goose Creek (Maureen Brennan, Peke Gonzalez, Mariano Gonzalez and Tomas Garcia del Rio), Grand Champions Polo Club (Grant Ganzi, TBA, Nic Roldan and Juancito Bollini), La Indiana (Michael Bickford, Jeff Hall, Mike Azzaro and Ruki Baillieu), Mt. Brilliant (Bo Goodman, Jason Crowder, Santiago Chavanne and Julian Daniels), Postage Stamp Farm (Annabelle Gundlach, Brandon Phillips, Mariano Aguerre and Kris Kampsen), Tonkawa (Jeff Hildebrand, Sapo Caset, Costi Caset and Facundo Obregon) and Villa del Lago (Jim Zenni, Agustin Obregon, Hilario Ulloa and Carlucho Arellano)

Noticeably absent from this year’s field is the defending championship Palm Beach Illustrated lineup (Nacho Badiola, Jared Zenni, Facundo Obregon and Jesse Bray).  While Facundo Obregon, last year’s MVP, will be competing with Jeff Hildebrand’s Tonkawa team, Jared Zenni, Bray and Badiola will be sitting this one out.

Also missing from the 2017 field are Audi/Millarville (replaced by Grand Champions), Dubai, Enigma, Valiente and Orchard Hill (both Valiente and Orchard Hill will be saddling up for the Ylvisaker Cup-which followed the Joe Barry Memorial).

Making their 20-goal debuts in the Joe Barry this year will be Goose Creek, Mt. Brilliant and Postage Stamp Farm.

The final of the Joe Barry Memorial Cup is set for Sunday, January 22nd.
