SAN ROQUE, Sunday, August 4, 2024 – The chance to see some of the best players in the world on the pitch

the action of the Terralpa 22 Goal Silver Cup. Dubai against La Dolfina Dos

game and taking the victory by 12 to 8, with the great figure of Camilo Castagnola, who scored 9
goals.
At the end, a French duel: Kazak against Sainte Mesme, with the obligation in both teams to
