At the prestigious Enero Costanera venue in Buenos Aires, Gonzalo and Nicolás Pieres, accompanied by Bautista Bayugar and Ignatius Du Plessis, the newest additions to the team for the season, unveiled the lineup for Ellerstina Yellow Rose for the upcoming polo season in Argentina. The quartet showcased the team’s new official jersey and discussed their aspirations for the forthcoming year. Gonzalo Pieres expressed his excitement, stating, “We’re thrilled to start the season with this fresh lineup. Our objective is to begin strongly and pursue success throughout the season,” at the event attended by various prominent figures.
This season, the esteemed Ellerstina team, with numerous championships under their belt, including multiple editions of the Argentine Polo Open, is supported by Yellow Rose, a polo club established in 1996 in Punta del Este by Jorge “Corcho” Rodríguez. Rodriguez, accompanied by his partner Vero Lozano, was among the distinguished guests at the event.
Yellow Rose continues to foster the expansion of the international polo community, with operations in both Argentina and Uruguay. Since 2021, it has expanded its polo initiatives in Argentina and established a partnership with Ellerstina, a lively and dynamic team brimming with potential, enthusiasm, and solid organizational support, which aids in the players’ development and future prospects. The team, now excluding Facundo Pieres, who opted to join the La Natividad quartet this season, comprises Nicolas Pieres, Bautista Bayugar, Gonzalo Pieres, and “Nachi” Du Plessis, boasting a combined handicap of 35 goals. Anticipation is high for the Argentine Triple Crown, featuring esteemed tournaments such as the Hurlingham Open, Tortugas Open, and the Argentine Open Polo Championship.
Sponsors for Ellerstina’s presentation include Yellow Rose, Jeep, Gibson, and RUS, with additional support from AlUla, Stella Artois, Sierra de los Padres, Enero Restaurant, Johnnie Walker, Clos de los Siete, and Aconcagua.
In addition to its success in local tournaments, Yellow Rose is renowned for its dedication to social causes and support for equestrian sports. The club hosts traditional charity events that blend high-handicap polo with music and philanthropy, attracting esteemed polo players and raising funds for charitable endeavors. Prominent polo figures in Argentina, including Polito Pieres, Ignacio Figueras, Gonzalo Pieres, Bartolomé “Barto” Castagnola, Mariano Aguerre, Facundo Pieres, Pablo Llorente, among others, have participated in these events.
In 2021, the club organized an event in Punta del Este sponsored by the Argentine Polo Association and the Uruguayan Polo Association, bringing together the world’s top polo players to support the Marabo Sports and Social Club in General Rodríguez, Buenos Aires province. Yellow Rose’s commitment to social responsibility is further demonstrated through its collaboration with the Compromiso Foundation and the Municipality of General Rodríguez, its home base. The club advocates for a free training program catering to individuals over 16 years old in digital skills such as Digital Marketing, Electronic Commerce, and Digital Programming. The 2023 season marks a significant milestone for the club as it assumes the title sponsorship of Ellerstina in the Triple Crown, emphasizing the shared values of family, friendship, and sportsmanship promoted by Yellow Rose.
