2017 Triple Crown

Confirmed and classification teams announced

Six teams are confirmed to play in the 2017 Triple Crown, as well as four teams in the classification section, who will compete for the two vacant slots. Last year’s trio of opens saw La Dolfina’s hopes of another Triple Crown title smashed by Ellerstina, who defeated the mighty La Dolfina in The Hurlingham Open. The outcome of The Argentine Open is usually rather predictable, with the same teams and players guaranteed to reach the Final from the start, however the 2016 season saw a shake-up of the status quo as La Irenita and Cría Yatay, who had both qualified from the classification section, defeated higher handicapped and far more experienced teams to reach the Quarter Finals with Cría Yatay reaching the Semi Finals – a feat which has never before been achieved by a qualifying team. Can this year’s successful classification teams recreate or further the same success?
 
Six confirmed teams:
La Dolfina (40): Adolfo Cambiaso (10), David ‘Pelón’ Stirling (10), Pablo MacDonough (10) & Juan Martín Nero (10)

La Irenita (31): Juan Ruiz Guiñazú (8), Juan M. Zavaleta (8), Clemente Zavaleta (7) & Matías MacDonough (8)
