South London Bike Polo (Tues/Thurs/Sun) - Newington gardens SE1 / Agnes Riley gardens SW12

slackers/ team night friday? tornadoes are in....

Found: left hand Brooklyn Machine Works glove

Anyone playing today? I am keen 6 or not.

Up North we are, yes.

I am aching and tired after yesterday.

Up North we are, yes.

Would love to play north, but I can't get out of work until 730, so Newt seems a better bet.

Overslept, only just got into work... I also think I need a new saddle, my gooch hurts... Unless it's a prostate thing, you had yours checked yet, Bill?

Addendum: By a doctor, natch...

A pre-polo liberal smathering of E45 (otto's favourite) or Bepanthen around the tisnt / barse region does wonders the next day, I find.

Nope, but I would change the saddle if your whatnot is hurting.

Are you offering?

slackers/ team night friday? tornadoes are in....

yup i'd be keen, as a slacker.

Ben that glove is mine dude.

Last night i went south, i saw TS spank several goals in, hitting the ball very hard. he moves well on the court and admittedly due to his age, he is never going to be super fast (sorry joe) but i really cant see what should make him a diff cat to anyone that is supposedly an *A cat. Likewise Paul has come on so well since i last played him. His dribbling and control is top, top class, a classic example of someone who has played at beginners, intermediates and all throw ins (and continues to do so) getting very, very good. A better bike and releasing the pass earlier (IMO) will make him as good as anyone. My point is that theses are good examples of why people should be encouraged to play at as many nights as poss, top to bottom bottom to top. LPC is getting very strong.

due to his age, he is never going to be super fast

Not sure about this. I think he was always slow.

Agreed, but one* could also argue that having the intermediate Monday space has allowed their skills to develop, playing with people in a similar bracket, not being wiped out / run around all the time by people playing the game longer.

• devil's advocate. just saying, etc etc.
  FWIW my own personal opinion is that at this stage Mondays should just be the same as Wednesdays, an open throw in night. There was a huge amount of people there last night (23 mallets at one point) and it would be good to spread it out a bit more at the moment with the loss of mitch and downs.
  
  
  

Also if getoutofnj Tom is reading this, I'd like to hear how you felt you got on last night at Newington, I think that was your first time.

Playing polo = Getting better at playing polo

true fact!

Playing polo = Getting better at playing polo

Therefore:

Getting better at = 1

I am getting slower, Bill... Used to be super quick BITD...

Off to see the physio tomorrow, watch this space...

Therefore:

Getting better at = 1

#mathematician

surely
getting better at = 0

exactamundo fonzi. :)

surely
getting better at = 0

No, because it's multiplication, not addition (at least in mathematical notation), and anything multiplied by 0 is still 0.

Passed It will be keen to get some games, drills etc going at Newt tonight, everyone welcomed all levels. I should be down by half past 6, 7 latest. Shifted to secret location ;)

B: Glove in Brooks bag :)

cheers ben, which bag? ;)

Jo himself attributes his shotting (or at least did last night) to solo polo rather than intermediates.

I think solo is where you learn to hit the ball, but you've still got to learn to deal with the issues of shooting with a team of people in front of you.

+1

These make such a difference to your shooting. If your slicing it or mis-hitting it a lot you should try and get a hold of one.
