Mad props to Ben Punkture for putting this all together and to all the out of towners for turning up and reminding me why bike polo is so fun.
More than mild reproach however to all those London players who signed up and then didn't show up. The day wasn't ruined, the ABC format was great, but a lot of people made a significant commitment to travel for this and it was pretty shocking how many home players flaked last minute or just didn't show. If you turned up for the UK champs and all of the MCR players decided to stay in bed I bet you'd be pretty pissed.
...This is why we can't have nice things like a London Open.
