II Argentine Amateur Championship at a Aguada Polo Club
The II Argentine Amateur Championship, the newest competition of the 2017 HSBC Spring Season, at La Aguada Polo Club, kicked off today, and will go through Sunday October 29.
Following the big success of the first edition, that was held last April, as a part of the Autumn season at the Novillo Astrada family’s club, it was decided to include a new version within the Spring season. The aim of the Amateur Championship is to promote polo in a friendly and familiar entourage, with the opportunity to create new bonds and strengthen friendships and camaraderie among players.
The tournament showcases two levels – 0-4 goals and 5-8 goals, featuring eight teams apiece, broken down into two leagues.
