Miami Beach, FL – April 25, 2013 – The world’s largest and most prestigious beach polo competition has descended upon South Beach. The 9th annual La Martina Miami Beach Polo World Cup sponsored by Grey Goose has officially begun. The four-day sporting event started yesterday with the La Martina South Beach Women’s Polo Cup V. Eight women’s teams competed in a round-robin series of matches in one day. Last year’s winning team of Cecelia Cochran and Alicia Harden defended their title as 2012 champions as they competed against some of their best adversaries like Pamela Flanagan, Tiffany Busch, and Lynn O’Connor. While the Cheeki team came out victorious, each team showed their best skill and drive making it a hard-fought tournament. The daytime sporting event gives way to night as parties are thrown at the W South Beach, SLS South Beach, and The Raleigh nightly. Stay tuned for the rest of the matches to come this weekend!
