The Terralpa High Goal Silver Cup is well underway at Ayala Polo Club and highlights on Sunday 4 August in the High Goal included matches featuring Dubai versus La Dolfina Dos Lunas and Kazak against Sainte Mesme, with both Dubai and Kazak emerging victorious. In the first match, Dubai faced La Dolfina Dos Lunas, marking the return of polo star Adolfo Cambiaso to Sotogrande after a three-year absence. The game was closely contested, tied at 6-6 until the fourth chukka. However, Dubai pulled ahead in the final two chukkas, ultimately winning 12-8, thanks in large part to Camilo Castagnola's impressive nine goal performance. The second match featured a French rivalry between Kazak and Sainte Mesme. The game was evenly matched until Kazak gained a slight lead of 7-6 at halftime, an advantage which they continued to maintain, finishing the match with a score of 13-10.
