More thoughts:
I've not played polo (yet) but I've read the rules and watched enough games to say I thought most reffing decisions were right. I saw the odd goal given that I would have called a shuffle, and one goal given that didn't go between the posts but it's a hard job reffing that many games and overall the reffing was superb. In my opinion it really helped the games and the tournament flow smoothly. And it provided more people to heckle which is always good. The shuffle/goal - Am I right in thinking Fred was there with his camera and had photo evidence to check. I think Aidan tried hard to make the right call and it probably was right.
Mention of the loo4poo truck - thanks to everyone who helped remove and put back the gates so he could get in to empty the loos. It was a bit Bernard Cribbins at times :-)
And special mention to Em for managing to heckle both courts at once, just so neither would feel left out, and to Downham All-stars who's teamwork belied their hastily-assembled nature. I know you guys play together fairly often, but even so, it was a pleasure to watch. Zombie too had a couple of cracking games.
