GIVE WAY TO THE POWERFUL LADIES OF POLO
There was a another brilliant tournament being played at Palermo during the 124th Open and it
was all about the ladies, the LADIES OF POLO that is! As the first Women's Open
Championship unravelled, the final took place also took place on December 3rd, right before
the "gran final" of the 124th Open. Each match was exciting, these powerful ladies comprising
six teams between 23 and 30 goals. Most certainly, that speaks for itself!

The two teams reaching this final, La Dolfina Brava and Ellerstina were undefeated; but in the
end it was La Dolfina Brava who claimed victory over Ellerstina 7 goals to 6 thanks to a golden
goal in extra chukker executed by Nina Clarkin.

The match which at first was moving at a fast tempo changed to a rough, bumpy and at times
rugged second chukker. Nevertheless, as the final chukker approached, the excitement
returned to the field when Mia Salvo and her team managed to score three goals; thus forcing
the match into an extra chukker.
