After achieving two great victories, Wolves and Zedan Polo qualified for the semi-finals of McLaren Cup, the opening trophy of the Dubai Polo Gold Cup Series 2018.

At Al Habtoor Polo Resort and Club, Wolves defeated Mahra by 9 goals to 8.5 with Isidro Strada of Mahra finishing as the top-scorer with six goals.

Then Pablo Donough top-scored with eight goals as Zedan overcome Habtoor Polo 10-8 in another trilling match.

Following Sunday’s victories, Wolves and Zedan have joined Mahra in the next stage of the McLaren Cup where there’s still one place to be decided between three teams: UAE Polo, Bin Drai and Habtoor Polo

The remaining spot in the semi-finals will be determined by a penalty shootout on Monday at the Al Habtoor Polo Resort & Club.

Mohammed Al Habtoor, founder of the Gold Cup Series and patron of the Habtoor Polo team, said:  “This year there are six teams playing in the McLaren Cup. The participating teams will host some of the top ranking world polo tour players, including Pablo Mac Donough, Polito Pieres, Ezequiel Martinez Ferrario, Francisco Elizalde and many others who have come directly from Argentine Open.”
