One of the two 40 goal teams playing this season, La Dolfina Saudi return with the same line up this year, looking to improve on their performance from 2023 where they started well, winning the Hurlingham Open, were unable to make the Tortugas Final due to underdogs La Hache surprising everyone, and were defeated in the Final of the Argentine Open by La Natividad. Poroto has now played in this line up since 2022, while Stirling, Nero and Cambiaso have played for many years together as La Dolfina. This team is a well oiled machine and only in recent years with the surge of new young talents have they been beatable.
2024 So Far:
Adolfo Cambiaso - played the US Gauntlet of Polo with Valiente, winners of CV Whitney and finalists of Gold Cup and US Open. In the UK he played the Queen's and the Gold Cups with La Dolfina Murus Sanctus.
David Stirling - played the UK season with Ferne Park.
Poroto Cambiaso - winner of the Gold Cup and US Open and finalist of the CV Whitney with La Dolfina in the US. Finalist in Queen's and Gold with La Dolfina Great Oaks in the UK.
Juan Martin Nero - played the UK season with Gaston.
In the Hurlingham Open this season the team were beaten finalists, narrowly losing to La Natividad by one goal in the dying moments of the match. They will be looking for revenge in Tortugas and the Argentine Open and would be expected to at least make the final of both tournaments.
