On Saturday 4/10 the 132nd Hurlingham Club Open will be played, in which the traditional Ayrshire Cup is at stake. They will face, starting at 4:00 p.m., on field 1 of the club located in the West of Greater Buenos Aires, the team of the 40 goals handicap, La Natividad La Dolfina, vs. UAE Polo.
THE NUMBERS
La Natividad La Dolfina will seek its first title since the two teams merged. Separately, The Nativity has two titles in Hurlingham (2021 and 24); while La Dolfina accumulates 12 (2000, 01, 02, 06, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 19, 22 and 23).
On the individual side, Adolfo Cambiaso has 15 conquests in this Open; the brothers Barto and Jeta Castagnola and their cousin Poroto Cambiaso have 2 titles.

WILL THERE BE TWO NEW RECORDS FOR ADOLFITO?
If La Natividad La Dolfina is consecrated, the legend of world polo, Adolfo Cambiaso (Jr.), will break two new records:
1) He will be the top winner of triple crown trophies with 43 (surpassing Juancarlitos Harriott and Alberto Pedro Heguy); and
2) He will also be the polo player who won the Hurlingham Club Open the most times, with 16 (leaving behind again the other great legend, Juancarlitos Harriott). Awesome race!
