South London Bike Polo (Tues/Thurs/Sun) - Newington gardens SE1 / Agnes Riley gardens SW12

I will be there at around 11 to hit the ball,

nice one. Slight change of meeting plan i need some new brake pads so going to CSurgery (S.market) at around 10.20ish... probably better to see you guys there.

fank yoo

Cool Ray. See you down there. Have you got Todd's no?

Great day for polo and as it went on some really fun games.

It is true though that I talk too much when at polo.

No, that's not true. No way.

At least you backed up your talking later. Some cracking shots from you today, Emmet.

But yeah, awesome games as the day went on. More tomorrow.

Oh, and it seems I lost my fucking wallet today. Probably knicked by some South London scally.

(not really, I think it may have fell out of my pocket while riding....)

Sarcasm does not work so well in text. Also I do not technically talk. I jabber.

But whatever, you are looking good Mark

top day of polo yesterday - cheers all

indeed, it were a grand day out.

i had such a funny time and only played 2 games i think. I love it when a bit of norfern soul crosses the river, thanks to G and H for the steeds and J for the G's.

fookers… still singing it

Hi everyone,

Just found this south polo thread. do you normally play around newington? Is there any polo as far south as clapham / balham? I couldn't find any, so I guess not...

Never done it before but I'd quite like to check it out!

yes in newington, west polo sometimes plays not too far from balham...welo polo

i am not aware of something that far south (clapham).

come north, try it out, make six mallets, get six people start SWPolo!

I remember quite a while ago seeing some people playing in clapham common where the basketball hoops are and with the horrible surface.

come north, try it out

Will do, cheers!

make six mallets, get six people start SWPolo!

Don't know anyone else who rides fixed actually :(

hahaha i only know a handful of players that still do.

ha

seriously if you want to start playing polo and advance quickly, play freewheel.

cool, I'm learning something already.

Does that mean you could play on a road bike or is that massive taboo?

drops will be crap, you need a flat bar or risers and a horizontal lever

low gearing, around 40-42GI imo.
