Monterosso defeated Milagro, 11-10, in The Copa Julio Novillo Astrada Final on Thursday 10 November at La Aguada Polo Club.

However, by half-time, El Milagro were able to tie at 5-5. A remarkable fourth chukka followed – El Milagro produced three consecutive goals, courtesy of Santiago Solari (2) and a penalty conversion by Benjamin Panelo, to claim an 8-5 advantage, but Monterosso bounced back and closed the gap to just one goal through Cubi Toccalino and Antonio Heguy. El Milagro replied quickly to re-take their two goal lead, until Guillermo Caset converted a 60 yard penalty. At the end of a thrilling fourth chukka, Monterosso was one goal behind (8-9). Guillermo Caset and Antonio Heguy scored in the fifth chukka to put Monterosso 10-9 up, but at the start of the sixth chukka, it was Tomás Panelo who tied at 10-all.
