The Club Atlético San Isidro (CASI) is a sports club based in San Isidro, Greater Buenos Aires, Argentina. Mostly known for its rugby union team (which is member of the Unión de Rugby de Buenos Aires), the club hosts other activities such as field hockey, tennis, football, golf and squash amongst others.[1]
[edit] History
The sporting institution was founded on 24 October 1902 as a football club called San Isidro Athletic Club, rugby was not played by the club until 1907; it is the top Buenos Aires team with 33 titles. In 1935 several players and part of the management were suspended from the club over ideological discrepancies, and went on to found the San Isidro Club (SIC).
The match between CASI and San Isidro Club has been a local derby since then, the last of them at the final of the 2005 URBA's Championship (Torneo de la URBA), which CASI won 18-17 with a penalty in the last minutes, after 20 years without an URBA title. One of its famous players is Agustín Pichot, former captain of the "Pumas", who is now retired after having played many years in France.
