I was the idiot with the ridiculously large camera...

Great Pics Chris. Well done Roxy, volunteers and competitors looks like you all had a great day.

another white wine spritzer, don't mind if I do…

^^^ the disk wheel says it all ;-)

Great event, nice one Roxy. Good times, good turnout, good to see so many peeps.

On way back I p*nct*red at Old St and managed to crawl to Notting Hill before I had to start walking. I was en dansant all the way to keep the weight off the back - nearly killed me!

all that rapha and you cain't change a tube, honky?

usually my man does it. it was his day off.

of course.

condor are shut on sundays

Just wanted to say what a great day. Great quality polo, great atmosphere, great shit talking, copious ammounts of beer and red bull. Well organised Roxy!!!

and i can't forget the great after tournamernt polo in the North East Court.

Epic day, something that seems to be a classic with events on this forum

now we know who made everyone fall in front of the cameras :

absolutely EPIC day today - I'm gonna be grinning like a Cheshire Cat for a week.
Big ups to all involved with organisational bits and my team meats Emily and Matt - We fucking ruled that first game and think it was a great intro to the day! Good work team!
Also props to BAD, RMY and Team Trouble, you all provided us with some epic entertainment (as did every team).
Have pics which I'll try and get up soon - good work on yours Chris.

I consider myself blessed to be involved in this whole 'bike thing' we have going on, so many great people involved - so big up to everyone of you guys.

bright times! thanks to all the awesome teams, Roxy for taking charge and organising a hell of a tournement, my fellow refs seb, teddy and hassan (whistle nazi) and to my fellow trixies for organising a brilliant after party, oh and 50/14 for bringing me that pint of OJ and Lemonade that led to my second wind and ability to ride home.
Off to Berlin tomorrow, see you soon!

..and sleep.

EPIC day!!
Well played all; more pics to follow, but I can't resist the perfect HOMO alignment...

**LONG LIVE LONDON POLO!! **

+Hassan and Ryan

i know its already been said but it really was such a great day
I wasn't playing but was there all day and the atmosphere from all the spectators made it fantastic - the tension in the semifinals and finals was incredible

i think polo is definitley the best game EVER to watch [and play] - so much more interesting than football, basketball or anything else in the olympics
so thanks again for a great day

I forgot to add thanks to all the foreign teams, different styles and great people for making the effort to come a long way for a tournament
congratulations to all

good fucking day.

my shins are swollen tres large and my grin is as big as a sailboat. I had such a great day, too drunk to thank all now, but suffice to say all the thread above has made me laugh as much in five minutes and summed up the day splendidly. aidan, dave, rmy, the splendid germans. roxy, the trixies, the referee is not[U]a wanker.[/U]
you rock.
so many thing were good about today. so many things. I really can't summaries.
but the support was amazing, aidan is bang on, best prize we got, sorry scott. :)
