Mon 30th Nov 2020 Rain Stops Play in Palermo Argentine Open interrupted by weather After much anticipation, the 127th HSBC Argentine Open began on Field 2 in Palermo on Saturday 28 November, with La Irenita II vs RS Murus Sanctus. However, as heavy rain fell in the second chukka, both teams struggled to continue play and at three minutes and 25 seconds of the third chukka, with RS Murus Sanctus leading 6-0, the decision was made to postpone the remainder of the match. For the three players making their Palermo debut, Santi Loza, Tomasito Fernández Llorente and Pedro Falabella, it was no doubt a disappointing start to the tournament. Similarly, the second match of the day with La Natividad Monjitas vs La Irenita was also postponed, both matches will be played today Monday 30 November. The two matches scheduled to be played yesterday were also postponed and will be played tomorrow, Tuesday 1 December.  127th HSBC Argentine Open Teams: Zone A La Dolfina Saudi (40): Adolfo Cambiaso (10), David Stirling (10), Pablo Mac Donough (10) & Juan Martin Nero (10) La Natividad/Las Monjitas (36): Camilo Castagnola (8), Pablo Pieres (10), Barto Castagnola (9) & Ignatius Du Plessis (9)  RS Murus Sanctus (35): Facundo Sola (9), Francisco Elizalde (8), Guillermo Caset (10) & Alfredo Cappella Barabucci (8)  La Irenita (30): Martín Podestá (7), Juan Martín Zavaleta (8), Facundo Fernández Llorente (7) & Juan Martín Zubía (8)  La Irenita II (29): Santiago Loza (7), Tomás Fernández Llorente (7), Juan Ruiz Guiñazú (8) & Pedro Falabella (7) Zone B Ellerstina (39): Facundo Pieres (10), Hilario Ulloa (10), Gonzalo Pieres (9) & Nico Pieres (10 La Dolfina Polo Ranch (33): Guillermo Terrera (8), Juan Britos (8), Diego Cavanagh (9) & Alejo Taranco (8)  Los Machitos (31): Agustín Merlos (8), Ignacio Toccalino (8), Mariano Aguerre (7) & Santiago Toccalino (8)  La Ensenada/La Aguada (29): Segundo Bocchino (6), Alfredo Bigatti (8), Matías Torres Zavaleta (8) & Jerónimo Del Carril (7)  Cría GT (32): Valerio Zubiaurre (8), Cristian Laprida (8), Joaquín Pittaluga (8) & Ignacio Laprida (8) Photograph: Bad weather interrupted play at Palermo.
