GlobalPort rebounds
MANILA, Philippines — GlobalPort bounced back into contention in the US Open Polo Championship on Sunday with a hard-fought 10-7 victory over BTA at the National Polo Center in Wellington, Florida.
Led by team owner and sports patron Mikee Romero, GlobalPort delivered a balanced offensive effort, spearheaded by 10-goaler Bartolome Castagnola, who scored six goals, including all three in the decisive sixth and final chukker. The crucial win kept GlobalPort in contention for one of the tournament’s eight quarterfinal spots.
The 22-goal tournament, considered the crown jewel of polo in the United States, is the third and final leg of the prestigious Gauntlet of Polo series, which also includes the C.V. Whitney Cup and the recently concluded USPA Gold Cup.
The victory put GlobalPort back on track in the preliminary matches following a narrow 7-9 loss to favorite La Dolfina/Tamera, the Whitney Cup champion.
