i think it's teamwork and communication that the london teams have the advantage on, not necessarily individual skill. they play in teams weekly if not more often and some teams have been together for 2-3 years

Can Mirek or Rich, or anyone with a chain tensioner that i could buy/swap for beer bring one tonight?

ok, so who else if up for going to whit early, like in the next 2 hours for a practice? The weather is glorious!

I can come bit earlier! 4ish?

4 sounds good,

Apples and cosmic have been together a year at most. Cosmic play together rarely, Tom lives in amsterdam. Sorry to blow your theory (excuses) out of the water.

Also, competitive polo is fun but so are pickup nights. It's possible to do both.

I think it is fair to say any team that plays together a lot will play much better in tournaments?

yeh totally but its still down to the skill of the players, if you got the best 3 players in england/the world or whatever and put them together for a game they would still beat a good team who had played together for years
