I played in the Eastside qualifiers, and no, I didn't qualify.
We played ok on Saturday, 3 wins, 3 losses, only losing by 1 goal in each game, and winning well, so we had a really good GD, and finished the day 9th out of 20, with hope of finishing in the top 7 to qualify.
We started well on Sunday against Shane (ex Dublin) and Sprinks' team, and got a 2 goal lead, it was looking good for a while, playing really nice polo, but they came back and beat us with a succession of top corner goals. After that we played a New York team, and really fell apart, losing all rhythm and passing, losing 5-1.
So the dream of playing in the NAHBPC is over for another year...
I was really ill all weekend, which didn't help, if it had been any other tournament I would have probably stayed at home, Lemsip got me through it, but probably didn't help.
The Means won, and were looking really good, Alexis and Nick making great plays, and scoring loads of good goals, Chris Roberts holding the back, and being physical. They'll do some damage at the worlds this year.
Second place was Lomax's team, he was playing really well, super accurate shots.
Third place was White Fang, a Boston team, I'm sure home court advantage helped, but they deserved it.
Also Magic Toast (Nate, Zack & Paul from New York) looked like they could be a good team this summer.
