Really good fun playing on a court that size, shame more people couldn't of experienced it. I think that everyone played a little better than they usually do. It was Preston Park polo amplified. In my opinion peoples strengths and weaknesses were more visible on the larger court. It was a different game for me than our usual knock about, more intense, more passing, a lot more sprinting which is something that just doesn't happen at Preston Park and is really fun. Generally more satisfying when something works like a sweet pass or thundershot, or a goal that had been taken from one end to the other, round a couple players and into the goal. The court at first seemed quite big and a little slippery to me, but after a couple of games it felt spot on. Over the coming months when it's possible that we wont have sorted out an indoor space or even a lit outdoor space, it's too dark, wet or cold to play on Sundays and Wednesday, i would be up for spending that little bit more to satisfy my addiction to this silly game, even if it was only 6 of us for 2 hours once a month or something. x
