Thu 19th Oct 2017VIII Ladies Circuit Championship Centauros La Aventura and La Varzea claim titles
The final matches of the VIII Ladies Circuit Championships took place on Monday 16 October on the AAP grounds in Pilar. The Championship was divided into a high and a low goal section with four teams taking part in the high goal and seven in the low goal. The standard of polo was exceedingly good and with little more than two goals in it, Centauros La Aventura took the high goal title 9-7 against La Varzea Rei do Caviar. In the low goal, La Varzea championed both Zone A and B, and won their final match against Martiendale Las Tacuaras 7-4, to be crowned low goal champions. The success of this tournament, and the large number of entries, reflects the global increase in the popularity of ladies polo.
