Ellerstina Polo Club wins the 2022 POLO RIDER CUP


Following the recent success of the first edition, POLO RIDER CUP 2022, the ultimate polo club competition at the international level (12 goals), was played from 8 to 18 June at the Polo Club of Chantilly, north of Paris (France).


Final Highlights

Ellerstina Polo Club won the 2022 POLO RIDER CUP, beating Evviva Polo St. Moritz 9 goals to 7 in the final at the Polo Club de Chantilly, north of Paris

In the first chukker, Salvador Jauretche opened the score from a field goal in the first seconds of the chukker, but Martin Aguerre H equalled the match from a penalty goal. Just before the end of the bell, Juan Pedro Chavanne opened his account with a neck shoot for the 2-1.


Four more goals were scored in the second chukker for Ellerstina, and the gap increased to 6-1. After the third chukker, which ended 8-2, Lucie Venot replaced Tommy Rinderknecht.

A fantastic comeback from Evviva Polo St. Moritz in the fifth chukker put emotion into the game, as two goals from Ignacio Kennedy and Martin Aguerre H closed the gap 9-5 goals.


In the last chukker, Evviva Polo St. Moritz scored two more goals from Kennedy and Aguerre again, but the final result ended with 9-7 goals in favour of the Argentina team to win the 2022 POLO RIDER CUP.

Salvador Jauretche was named the MVP for the tournament, and Ignacio Kennedy, with the pony ‘La Virgen’, won the Best Playing Pony of the match.

With 34 goals, Martin Aguerre Jr was the Best Scorer, and Emil Grabosh was the Rookie of the tournament.

Concerning the format, the number of teams participating in the event will be 14 international clubs/teams with a maximum of 2 clubs/teams per country, but given the special situation we are living and as an exception, a third club from Argentina has been authorized by the Federation of International Polo (FIP), the French Polo Federation (FFP), and GAME POLO to participate in the POLO RIDER CUP. So Coronel Suarez Polo Club (ARG) rounds out the POLO RIDER CUP and replace the Moscow Polo Club due to the ongoing situation between Russia and Ukraine.
