Tourney: Bristol Open 2013 20-21 April - Registration Now Open

5G: Manchester's best team (ever?)!

Congratulations, you guys really deserve it.

Thanks Rich for the last minute couch, Sophie, Paddy, Juan etc did a brilliant job in keeping the schedule going. I thought Emyr was good enough for MVP. Fin played very well too all weekend, has a hint of Emmet in his play. Also alcohol ban worked quite well (bet Rob will disagree) ;)

i should also say big thanks to johnH for his generosity of time, bringing the goals up for us, fixing everyones mallets and prizes.

No worries, thanks B.

A massive thank you to everyone who made this weekend happen! Amazing Games and organisation.
Thanks to John H for kindly lending me a wheel for the weekend!

Congratulations to Spring Fake, always a pleasure playing against you guys.

Really pleased to have reached 3rd place with Stabbaths best result to date! Gutted to lose out to 5G in such a close game but happy for them too their play was outstanding.

Guess i'll be forever practicing penalty shots from now on.

go manchester..... wish I could have witnessed this event!

I've been in a haze all day just thinking about how much fun I had....

It's like a particularly dirty weekend, every time I sit down the pain in my arse reminds me of a great weekend.

And I keep thinking of more people I should thank for making it so great.

I'm reminded of the fun everytime I eat, drink or smile.

I had an ace first tournament time. Lovely to meet a lot of nice people who didn't (openly) laugh at me for being crap.
Particular thanks, in no particular order go to:
John H for organisational help.
Ady and Caspar for board making.
Jesus for looking down on our humble tournament and making it not rain until it had finished.
Juan for sponsorship sourcing.
Sponsors for sponsorship.
Rich and Zsofia for organisation. Mostly them. But also the others.

Congratulations to winners and those close, but also particularly to Wrists, who I thought did really well.

every time I sit down the pain in my arse reminds me of a great weekend.

sorry, louis :(

Looks like Salman left his mallet, brand new Magic grip, shaft, head (green, purple, green) cut to 98cm. Anyone pick it up by accident?

Had a great weekend, thanks to everyone involved! Really looking forward to the next Bristol tournament!

Some thank yous:
Cam and H-Bomb, great playing with you guys. Sorry I fell to bits so spectacularly in our last game.
Dales, thanks for the chauffeuring!
Paddy for the hospitality and the organisation.
Rich, Zsofia and all the other Brizzlers for running a really smooth tourney. Scheduling, whipping, watching the gate, coffee, mechanics... all meant the whole weekend was totally stress-free for me. I hope it wasn't too stressy for you!
All the players - every game I played in or reffed was in a good spirit, with players looking out for each other.

And the main thing that will stick with me: whenever I go to a tourney, one of my favourite things is catching up with old friends that I've not seen in a while. This weekend, I feel like I've come away with new ones too.

sorry, louis :(

Ha! Don't worry Mya, not your fault, it was a fifty fifty ball, it's just a bruise and as I said it's reminding me of how much fun I had! :)

Yes I have it.

Thanks, will let him know

Did I leave a lock attached to the fence by the court?

Didn't notice it but we're there tonight so I'll check. What make is it?

OnGuard, probably about level with the tap.

Did Andre give you your Krypto back?

It's lost to the ether.

Bloody saffas

Epic weekend, followed by a heavy week at work makes me wish tourneys happened more often, major thanks to Rich, Zsofia, and all the others who contributed. Thanks to O'Shane for not injuring me on Sunday morning after a few sneaky excessive nudges.Thanks to Neil and Chan for getting me to a final and putting up with my Mad Swingz at the ball. I promise to work on that.

Looking forwards to seeing some quality polo video soon.

Love you too, Beagle.

thx again! Ben and Sean have been playing very well, such a good team spirit!
5G is not dead ;)
