playing EFG
organised by Polo Club Saint-Tropez and
Argentina Food. Los Nocheros – Sebastian
Schneberger (1), Gonzalo Bernal (3), Hugo
Taylor (1), and Valentín N Astrada (5) –
played a great first chukka and led the
game. While the match was even throughout
the four chukkas, Los Nocheros were unable
to produce enough scoring chances and
Nicky Sen’s Amanara came out on top (7–5).
‘I often come to play at the Polo Club
in Saint-Tropez and it’s amazing how much
they have improved the facilities this year,’
remarked Sen, whose winning team
consisted of Fabián Bolanterio (3), Marcos
Harriott (2) and Pablo Jauretche (6).
The Most Valuable Player award for the
final was given to Bolanterio, while the Best
Playing Pony accolade went to his horse
Embarcado. Leonardo Constantino, head
of economy, trade and investment at the
Argentine Embassy in France, presented
Amanara with the Argentina Food Polo Cup.
Polo Club Saint-Tropez is currently
working its way towards becoming self-
sufficient and one of a kind on the global
polo circuit. The club offers innovative
structures and services for players, team
owners and horses, with an ever-expanding
programme. A fitness centre, sports hall,
swimming pool, virtual golf, tennis, polo club,
and coaching, along with other facilities and
activities are available throughout the year,
surrounded by the beautiful scenery of the
Gulf of Saint-Tropez.
The club’s owner, Alshair Fiyaz, has
intentions for it to become one of the
most attractive polo sites in the world,
encompassing wellness, hospitality and
entertainment. Next year’s tournaments are
set to bring even greater excitement to the
burgeoning venue.
