As above, chapeau to the organisers - Bristol-style makes it all seem so trouble-free and relaxed across the board, setting the perfect stage for a start (and end too??) of season tournament - the facilities were of the highest order and I especially want to thank all the gatekeepers for keeping us (and our chattels) secure.
So many memories to bank, but the drama of the semi final penalty shoot out was a hysterical highlight - I suspect crowd calls for penalties will be up there with 'golden goal' and 'there's no time' from here on in... :)
The Bristol tournament last year was 5G's first game together and we didn't even qualify for the Sunday games - this year we make our first proper podium and a Manchester team's best result to date - hard to take in right now! I found myself apologising to most teams we scrapped a winning goal against on Sunday (except Andre of course... ;) ) but maybe we can avoid being a flash in the pan next time out.
Thanks of course to my massive teamsters - it was a joy sit back in goal and watch Chan play so consistently strong all day - his enthusiasm and passion for polo knows no bounds and some of that X-factor majik may just be rubbing onto Em...
