At the prestigious Enero Costanera venue in Buenos Aires, Gonzalo and Nicolás Pieres, accompanied by Bautista Bayugar and Ignatius Du Plessis, the latest additions to the team for the season, unveiled the roster for Ellerstina Yellow Rose for the upcoming polo season in Argentina. The quartet presented the team’s brand-new official jersey and discussed their hopes for the upcoming year. Gonzalo Pieres expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “We’re excited to begin the season with this fresh lineup. Our goal is to start off strongly and achieve success throughout the season,” at the event attended by various prominent figures.
This season, the esteemed Ellerstina team, with numerous championships to their name, 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, graced the event alongside other distinguished guests.
Yellow Rose remains dedicated to nurturing the growth of the international polo community, operating in both Argentina and Uruguay. Since 2021, it has expanded its polo endeavors in Argentina and partnered with Ellerstina, a dynamic team full of potential, enthusiasm, and robust organizational support, which contributes to the players’ development and future prospects. The team, now excluding Facundo Pieres, who chose 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. Expectations are high for the Argentine Triple Crown, featuring prestigious 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 achievements in local tournaments, Yellow Rose is renowned for its dedication to social causes and support for equestrian sports. The club hosts traditional charity events blending high-handicap polo with music and philanthropy, attracting esteemed polo players and raising funds for charitable causes. 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 represents 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.
