Magnificent debut for title holders in the Tortugas Open
Ellerstina played a superb debut match in the first of the Triple Crown Tournaments and defeated Pilara 18-11.
Although Ellerstina is the favourite being the only team in the competition with maximum handicap and despite the absence of Marcos Heguy in Pilara, the fist part of the match was quite level with only one goal difference in the first three chukkas and two in the fourth. However from then on Ellerstina dominated the match and with six goals in the last two chukkas sealed the victory at 18-11.
Chukka scores: 2-1, 5-4, 8-7, 11-9, 12-9, 15-10 and 18-11
