The Cámara de Diputados Cup, one of the most prestigious tournaments of the argentine spring season, hosted its semifinals during the weekend. On Saturday, La Esquina beat Chapa Uno 15 goals to 9 at Palermo’s field 2, while on Sunday Sol de Agosto Alegría did the same against Los Machitos and defeated them 10-9.
Besides, it is worth remember that for a third year in a row the winner of the Camara will play a play-off match against the eighth placed team of the ranking for a spot in the 2020 Argentine Open. As in 2018 that team will be La Ensenada.
