Finally got t'interweb set up in the new flat!
Ok, so huge thanks to everyone that turned up and made this happen. Always a pleasure to hang out with LDN massive but also great to see Newcastle/Cambridge/Birmingham/Brighton and Sheffield. You brummies need to get up to MCR more often!
Thanks to all the mcr polo family for your hard work over the last few weeks, especially Adam, Woody Ste and Neil. I'm so glad we actually decided to host this, it couldn't have ran any smoother. Gabes, thanks for all the help with the schedules/circle etc... It can be a tough format but i feel it worked well and i would say the top 6 teams are a true reflection of the best in the UK at this present time.
Fiasco - well done guys. To say i was blown away by your polo would be an understatement. Josh/Tony = The future. The game between you and beards was my highlight. So tense, great to see Snoops so passionate and rallying up the beards for one more goal! And nice to see him so gracious in defeat. I thought he would of kicked off considering how much he hates kids ;)
Cogs - Awesome game, and a well deserved win. You've given us a big wake up call. In fact the standard of LDN polo in general just keeps getting better and better. You always push MCR to step it up, which is good.
Conos - Believe it or not Netto love playing against you ;) i think your one of the hardest teams to play. Much love x
Just a quick mention to Fen Boy 3. You played out of your skin all w'end, Hayden was in serious contention for MVP. Harvey, i owe you money for 2 mallet heads ;)
BAD - Unlucky on completing the double! I'm glad i didn't put any money on you now. I was going to back you for 1st. You played some sweet polo, your last game when you all played out was another highlight for me. RELEASE DAVE!
I'm so happy that Apples made it to the final, you guys don't fuck about. You said you wanted podium and you got it. The hardest working team in polo imo. I've never seen Gabes play like that, and Em was just pushing it to the absolute limits. Rik's blocking/shots and general awareness was incredible. The golden goal against BAD was amazing, as gabes dragged it in to position he took one look at dave and you could actually see the moment in his eyes before he pumped it in!
Cosmic - The first ever UK Champions! Congrats. Cosmic polo from you guys all w'end. Todd and Matt are fucking awesome, great link up play, bike control, and awesome wheelie shots. When Tom was released he didn't waste any chances. I seem to remember him either scoring or assisting every time he was out of goal. Hope all the winners like their prizes!
The atmosphere all w'end was more like a polo Glastonbury than you're usual tourney. Again, huge thanks to Neil for the BBQ and Music. It was lovely just hanging out with everyone, like chatting shit with Aidan/Woody about the state of British television! "Pump it" and "pop the collar" are given "penis" and "shoot it" a run for their money!
Everyone was just so chilled out both on and off court. Considering what was up for grabs the games were some of the cleanest and well natured i've seen in polo tournaments all over the world. I'm proud that we have such a good scene here in the UK. Beards v Fiasco and the final are the 2 best examples of this. No one got aggro or lost it, it was a joy to watch.
So well done to all the top 6 teams, Malice, unlucky on missing out of the podium but at least you're going to the worlds and well done in the euro qualifiers.
MUCH POLO LOVE FROM CHANCHESTER!
