In the first match, played in the morning, Pilarchico La Ensenada beat La Irenita by 9-8 in a closely fought match, after commanding play from the start of the game. However, in the last chukka a win came extremely close for La Irenita who were only one goal away from evening the scoreboard and taking the match into an extra chukka. Unfortunately for them, it was not to be. Meanwhile, in the afternoon, Chapaleufú Biopolo beat La Mariana ONA 13-12 in an extremely even duel, which had several lead changes on the scoreboard during the seven chukkas. La Mariana had a better start than ‘Chapa’, leading the scoreboard for several chukkas, but Chapa returned with fervour, levelling the scoreboard. With the scores tied at 12-12 and with little time left until the final bell, Pedro Falabella scored a final goal for Chapa and with it a pass to the Final.
