Hurlingham Open, November 2009
Things were a bit difficult for this edition of the Hurlingham Open… with heavy rains obliged to delay one day the start of the second tournament of the Triple Crown in Argentina, and next, to postpone the final between Eduardo's team La Aguada and Ellerstina. Eventually, Ellerstina, after a very balanced match, defeated La Aguada 14-12 and won the second championship of the season, in another step which leads the boys in black to their biggest goal: the Argentine Open and the Triple Crown.
Tortugas Open, October 2009
Ellerstina Etiqueta Negra (inc. Juan Martin Nero) beat Pilará 14-11 in the final of the Tortugas Open, and became the first team to ever claim the first tournament of the Triple Crown in Argentina for three consecutive years. Once again, the boys in black confirmed their first class status as their well deserved 40 goals.
