CIRCA polo enjoyed a great run in the Mercedes-Benz Challenge Cup, making it to the finals of the prestigious tournament this past Saturday, August 7th, in Bridgehampton. The team reached the finals by defeating the famous Black Watch team (17-11), then coming from behind to beat Certified (11-10) and besting Heathcote (13-12) in the semi-finals in an overtime thriller. CIRCA entered Saturday's final against Peter Brant's powerful La Alegria team with momentum – and the crowd – on its side, but came up just short, losing 13-11 in the final minutes.
“Of course, you’re always disappointed with a loss,” said captain Magoo Laprida, “but the team did such a tremendous job throughout the tournament, that we’re really happy with the overall result.”
CIRCA is back in action in the Hamptons Cup this Saturday at 4:00 pm against Caballeros.
