Totally understand the concerns of Birmingham on travelling all the way up to the Toon - I think the feeling's probably mutual - also no offence intended. So this probably precludes doing some kind of league.
But that definitely doesn't stop us having mini-tournaments and getting a bit of decent competition going. I'm tending to think, as much as playing local throw-ins with your mates is great for just enjoying playing polo, unless you have to try out your skillz in competition, your game isn't going to grow as much as it could.
We would also have the same issues with putting two permanent teams together, as it's not how we play. But, we've got enough people to do it and any game weekend can include plenty of throw-ins and mixing up. I guess that's really up to each city on whether they want to try and prepare a specific team for a tournament or just all improve together but... it's all going to be good.
Really excited about this. Northern polo 2010 - fuck yeah
