At the Alfredo Lalor Venue that the AAP has in Pilar, the third and last day of the Qualifying Tournament for the Remonta and Veterinary Cups was played on Friday 2/10, which gave two places for the 133rd Argentine Polo Open and the 86th Tortugas Country Club Open.
Those vacancies went to La Irenita, which in the definition of Zone A beat Velay by 14-12 on court 1; and for La Zeta Kazak, who defeated La Dolfina II by a tight 14-13 in Group B on court 2.
Both were very even matches and were defined in the last minutes of net play, after several changes in the leadership of the scoreboard. But the organization of the Mac Donough and the team led by Nico Pieres were consecrated, teams that will play the great Tortugas and Palermo Galicia Opens presented by Visa.
In this way, in Tortugas, La Zeta Kazak will integrate Zone A and La Irenita B; while in the Argentino Abierto they will be located exactly the opposite.
In the remaining two matches of the last day, important for the Ranking and for the placement in the Copa Municipalidad del Pilar, La Ensenada II beat La Dolfina III by 14-9 (Zone A) and La Matera beat La Irenita II by 16-15 (Z. B).
