Alegria (Julian Mannix (4), Hilario Ulloa (9), Mariano Aguerre (9) and Sterling Giannico (4)) won their spot in Sunday’s match by defeating Audi/Millarville (Marc Ganzi (1), Magoo Laprida (8), Rodrigo Andrade (9) and Fred Mannix (6)) with a final score of 15-11. Mannix’s team gained their Semi Final position after a convincing win of 13-9 over Coca-Cola and narrowly defeating Lechuza Caracas 10-9 in the league stages of the tournament.

Orchard Hill (Steve Van Andel (0), Polito Pieres (9), Facundo Pieres (10) and Ezequiel Ferrario (7)) defeated Las Monjitas 16-11 in the first round before securing a victory over Valiente (Bob Jornayvaz (1), Alejo Taranco (6), Guillermo Terrera (8) and Adolfo Cambiaso (10)) with a final score of 11-8. Cambiaso who returned from injury to make the Semi Final game managed to score five of his team’s goals, but was unable to take them through to the Final.

The Les Armour Semi Finals for The C.V. Whitney Subsidiary Final are scheduled for today, Thursday 26 February. Coca-Cola will play Lechuza Caracas and later this afternoon, Las Monjitas will play FlexJet.

The tournament, first held in 1979, is named after Cornelius Vanderbilt ‘Sonny’ Whitney who, along with his cousin John Hay Whitney, were important polo patrons in the 1930's. The son of Hall of Fame patron Harry Payne Whitney, C.V., won The US Open three times (twice against his brother) and was a well known owner and breeder of thoroughbred horses.
