Tourney: Brighton - NS - 07.05.2011

Thanks to Brighton & the usual polo suspects who helped make yesterday happen.

Great to play in a different location & awesome to see the UK scene is growing - the COSMIC eye is keeping a watch on the young emerging talents!

Good to see Hooks and Broken Legs make the effort to attend - it was rad to have the opportunity to play you both too.

Well done NT for taking such an epic trophey back to London.

Looking forward to the next National Series Tourney.

Yes, amazing weekend, lovely to see everyone. Next NS event will be great, can't wait.

What an awesome tourney and a great start to the national series. Thank you so much Brighton, you really pulled it out the bag. It had a special feel to it, and its definitively gonna be a regular each year for the MCR boys.

Respect to NT for the win, and proud to see our new MCR team Polo Erectus giving some of the regulars a run for their money.

Big up to Cream for non London 1st place. You deserve it guys, despite the shit we always give you.

Big love. Netto x

awesome photo ^

That was awesome, big thanks to everyone for travelling down and everyone who made it happen. It was a pleasure to have you all playing some great polo on our courts!

Great tournament - well done for taking it on and pulling it off, so to speak, Brighton - already looking forward to 2012 by the sea (as I'm now a Hat Club Whore)!

thanks so much Brighton, what a great weekend you guys put on. we will treasure our nasally-challenged gull.

Thanks Brighton, really fun day! Everyone was so friendly :)

Lemmy had a great day! Thank you all for putting up with him. I think Brighton Polo have got ourselves an official mascot. Had some amazing sunny throw ins today with the French crew. Looking forward to seeing you all again soon. Congrats, Nice Touch and Cream,

Cheers Brighton. Had great fun.

A big thank you from Bristol, well enjoyed it. Nice one Rouen for making it over and to Newcastle for their overnight misson drive down. That's dedication! Love the trophy ha.

Woo, still buzzing from the success of the tourney and to cap it all we had throw ins with ' Hooks' all afternoon!! F**king stoked!! Thanks to all attendees, you all rule!! And yes to Lemmy being our mascot....his stunning court appearance with go down in history!! :)

Thanks again Brighton, it was a great tournament with good vibes and felt really great to be playing somewhere new with both new and familiar faces. Much love from Cambridge.

cheers Brighton and all that helped out with an awesome tournament i had a ball. congrats to NT, fully deserved!

Thankyou to everyone that made this possible.

We had a great time. Highlights were playing on lots of different bikes until i got mine sorted. (thanks Hassan, Joe and Mat)

Playing the first game on my own, thought i was going to get trounced but couldnt just forfeit the game without trying and glad i didnt.

Favourite games were against Fen Bwoy and Cream, one after another. Great crowd participation esp from LDN and Camb! I was knackered by the end of that.

Great to see lots of new faces aswell!

Yup yup! Great day! Lots of fun games, nice to meet new folks on the throw-in court. Well done Brighton and the London Tourney-Away crew!

Looking forward to more of these.

Big Bush Bear Team Bear Hug!!

just woke up in Rouen, Thanks a lot to brighton crew for an amazing week end, tourney and a great sunny day of throw ins. Thanks a lot to joe for housing us, really appreciate it.
Played awesome games against Fenboys and then Cosmic.
See you guys in Barcelona or in London for the open.

Cheers From Rouen

ps: Hooks= 1st non-london Team

fuck yeh!

Fah-Q!

Thanks Brighton for an epic day! Us Welshboys thoroughly enjoyed the whole Tourney experience - including the Skid-Bagging..:):)

Loved the support for a new team that were facing off against some really skilled, cool players! Thanks for the learning experience and we're stoked about our final position - 13TH OMFG!!
I loved it when we got a call to court over the tannoy and then crowd replied with a "Fah-Q too!" - hilarious...

WE WILL BE BACK!

ps: Hooks= 1st non-london Team

Please don't take it as an insult that you weren't give a prize for this position. You played amazing polo and are world class polo players. I'm really surprised you didn't make the podium.

My reasoning for not including the french teams in the non-london positions is that you are on a level with the best teams in the world and don't need the recognition that those who have been playing for less time deserve for their efforts.

The idea of the tournament from the outset was to celebrate the newer and less experienced teams playing polo in the U.K. In the space of a year, the current Brighton players have gone from never playing before to finishing in the top 20 of a national event. I think that's worth celebrating!

Cream deserved the prize they were given and played their socks off to get to 5th place. hopefully there will be a time soon when the top 3 positions of a tournament could go to any city in the country (or the continent) but for now, I think it's worth highglighting the effort involved in catching up.

I think woods hasn't been playing as long as Cream.

Does that mean that eating snails makes you good at polo?
