Following an East Coast Silver Cup filled with drama and elite play, the East Coast Gold Cup, concludes July 18th presented by Interactive Brokers

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, July 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Greenwich Polo Club delivered another standout chapter in its 2026 Sunday Polo season this past Sunday with the climax of the East Coast Silver Cup, capping a fast, fiercely contested tournament that brought elite players, powerful ponies and thousands of spectators to the club’s celebrated field.

The East Coast Silver Cup opened with immediate drama in its first week, as Team NuEnergen edged Team IGEA, 13-12, in a overtime thriller that set the tone for the tournament. The match featured decorated players, high-speed runs across the club’s expansive main field and a winning penalty goal by Kristos “Keko” Magrini, with Martin Jauregui named most valuable player of the match.

The intensity continued into the later rounds, including a Father’s Day semifinal qualifier in which Team FlyHouse, the 2025 East Coast Open champion, surged past Team Dracarys, 11-10. Manuel Villamil scored the winning goal in the sixth and final chukker and was named most valuable player, while the match drew a crowd of several thousand spectators who brought a championship atmosphere to the sidelines. The final match saw Team FlyHouse triumph over Team Round Hill 15-14, seeing FlyHouse retain the East Coast Silver Cup for the second year in succession.

The Silver Cup’s blend of close scores, high-goal talent and field-side energy now sets the stage for the next marquee tournament of the season: the East Coast Gold Cup, presented by Interactive Brokers.
