The spring season hosted by Ayala Polo Club, in Sotogrande, has come to an end, after two busy months. Action will resume in two weeks-time, with the start of the coveted Torneo Internacional de Polo. In the meantime, the two last finals were played on Sunday July 13 – Memorial Fundador Enrique Zobel and Memorial Manuel Prado y Colón de Carvajal.
Whizmo and Electric Polo played the decisive contest of the Memorial Fundador Enrique Zobel. Although Electric Polo had half goal on handicap, Whizmo were determined to display their skills, and dominate their contenders. At the end of the day, the orange-jerseys claimed an impressive 15-7.5 win.
The Memorial Manuel Prado y Colón de Carvaja, saw Pampa y La Via and Legacy to decide the title. Both teams played a tight contest; it could have been anyone’s game. But in the last chukka, Pampa y La Via sealed the deal, to secure the 11-8 victory and the title.
