La Fe Win 55th San Jorge Open

2024 spring season begins in Argentina

With a large crowd gathered at Court 2 of Palermo, the Final of The 55th San Jorge Open was played on Saturday, September 7th, for the Duke of Edinburgh Trophy. The title was claimed by the La Fe team, who, thanks to 9 goals by Camilo ‘Jeta’ Castagnola, edged out La Dolfina 90210 in a thrilling 11-10 victory.

This match made history as the first in the tournament to feature two women players, with Sarah Magness becoming the first – and so far, only – woman to score a goal in this competition. Jeta Castagnola, who scored three consecutive goals in the final chukka, including the decisive one just 25 seconds before the final bell and was named Most Valuable Player. This dramatic finish sealed a narrow victory over a team that included his uncle Adolfo and his cousins Poroto and Mía Cambiaso. 

With this victory, the Official Spring 2024 Season of the Argentine Polo Association kicked off, marking the start of a season that will feature dozens of tournaments across all categories.
