High Goal was the order of the day in Sotogrande this Monday as Charlie Hanbury’s Halcyon Gallery (Juan Chavanne, Guillermo Terrera and Max Routledge) faced Las Monjitas (Camillo Bautista, Tomas Fernandez-Llorente, Eduardo Novillo Astrada and Alejandro Novillo Astrada). With Las Monjitas having previously beaten Halcyon Gallery by just a goal in their opening game in the Silver Cup, the team sponsored by a Mayfair Gallery were keen to win. Leading by one goal at half time (4-3), Halcyon Gallery continued to build on their lead, finally securing their first Gold Cup league match win by four goals, beating Las Monjitas 11-7.
Following at 18:30 RH (Ben Soleimani, Nicolas Pieres, Facundo Sola and Santiago Von Wernich) faced Dos Lunas-Banco Espirito Santo (Luis Domecq, Pascual Sainz de Vicuna, Agustin Garcia Grossi and Martin Iturraspe), playing in their first game since losing in the Silver Cup Final to Valiente last Friday. This was the first time these two teams had met on Spanish soil this season, with the result being decided by a single goal, secured by Dos Lunas-Banco Espirito Santo who beat RH 12-11.
