La Natividad defeated El Overo 11-7 and won the Argentine Junior Championship, following the final that took place on Tuesday October 3, at the Argentine Association of Polo, in Pilar. La Natividad made history once again, as they claimed the tournament for the fifth consecutive year – the first one was in 2018, with a lineup called La Ensenada La Natividad – and the only remaining member of that foursome is Jeta Castagnola. The tournament saw four teams, between 23 and 27 goals, in participation, with lineups composed by players up to 21-years-old.

 

It is worth noting that Jeta’s cousin, Poroto Cambiaso, was victorious three times (2021. 2022 y 2023); his sister, Mia, became the first woman in history to win the tournament, last year; and now it is the first for Lorenzo Chavanne, who was also presented with the Machi Trotz Award as the best new player.
