It was a fantastic weekend. Alex was a hero for letting B and I stay with him, and for playing superb polo against tough teams for M,S&S. The London crew were, as ever, the loudest, funniest bunch on cunts, and it was so great to hang out with all our friends from Munich, Paris, Berlin, Manchester, and everywhere else. The guys from Karlsruhe pulled it out of the bag big time for this.
Goals in principle are a great addition. The design of these ones in particular could do with tweaking a little to avoid the quick rebound, but I am in favour of using them for tourney play (with goals refs still of course!). And as for the giant plasma screen....well as Yorgo said, 'No giant plasma screen, no polo'. Morgan was a genius for doing all the programming whilst drinking, getting naked and getting his snake out.
Shame to get so close to the final 8 without qualifying, but Anonmous from Munich held us to a 1-1 draw which made all the difference in a game that should've been ours. Either way, it was a joy to go on the first foreign Cosmic adventure with Toddy and MAT.
I really hope this fixture is repeated next year, now we've learnt a thing or two about the surface. It was great to have zero bobbling of the ball, even if this meant slippy surface.
I was blown away by how well some individuals and teams played, particularly Zombo who was the best I have ever seen him play, and the Frankfurt MVP was awesome.
Thank you Karlsruhe for an epic weekend.
