[FONT=Helv][SIZE=2]Wow...it's hard to add anything more to what's already been said...but I'll try...
I knew that the UK Champs was gonna be totally awesome, even before the first 1, 2, 3 POLO! had been called. I mean, how could 2 days of Polo, on an indoor court, with nearly all of the UK scene present not end up being awesome?
The weekend felt more like a Polo festival than a tourney, what with the outside music and BBQ group lunches on the grass. It all made for such an awesome atmosphere.
So a massive pat on the back goes to Adam, Gabes, the whole CHANchester scene, the sponsors and the hockey club guys, for whom all made this tourney happen. Also, a big thanks to Kat and Sara who put up the Cosmic family. You made us feel so welcome and your court side support was awesome esp as you don't even play Polo!
With the tourney itself, the venue was so good to play on, even if it was a little bit slippery. at moments. The ball just rolled across the floor like it was on a snooker table. There were loads of great games to watch and the final top 6 standings could have gone any way. It was brilliant to see teams like Sparkle, Cogs, Fiasco, and Los Conos push hard to play well and grab some memorable wins. Josh, really deserved MVP and I thought all of Fiasco played amazing. I'm stoked that the young guns are going to Berlin - surely Adrianne will need to go with inorder to chaperone?
To Apples, a big hug. I have so much respect for you guys as individuals and as a team. You guys were on it this weekend and sharing the final was just epic. The result could have gone either way - I still can't believe it lasted 30 mins!
A huge kiss to Therese for giving Cosmic the best support and for some how putting up with all my polo doings of recent - even when I talk about it in my sleep!
And finally to Tom and Toddy.....so much love. You guys were incredible. You inspire my play so much and with out you both there is no triangle and there no cosmic polo.
Overall, there were too many great and funny moments to try and recall. Actually, if only one of the passagers who was sharing the carriage with all us lot on the 8,55 train could post on here all that they heard us saying. Because in that 3 hr journey we all gave one hell of a polo focus round up of the whole weekend!
I HEART POLO!
