Tourney: European Hard-court Bike Polo Championship - 01/02.08.2009

we lost to cosmic 4-3 actually.

Yeah, i thought there was only one goal in it.

definitely 4-3 as we got timed out as we were coming back remember, dum dum dum dum dum de de dum dum

(not that we would have won, but who knows, oowe...)

And this is 10th place you guys are talking about. Best team in Manchester, 10th best in Europe?

10th, 11th, 12th....it doesn't matter too much. We're still the sexiest polo team in the world.

amen to that

(I should really take the piss here, but it'll just end up with someone posting a pic of me they found on my facebook page. Again.) Yeah! You look really sexy!

Does the disc wheel say 'manchester easy rent boys'?

yes

There was magic in the air again ;)

ok so i'm late to the thread, but unfortunatly i was whisked away to the lake district early monday morning so have been busy enjoying the rain.. (so sorry for not helping clear up monday morning!)

anyway what a weekend, the polo was amazing and great to watch, cheering on all the london teams, and meeting and watching all the teams from abroad.
The reffs were great and certainly made the tournament all the better, my favourite moment was bill calling no goal for FFF versus downham allstars! the look on (marc's)? face was hilarious.
Also props to all the london teams for playing so amazingly (especially malice) and entartaining us all. BAD vs. Cosmic was epic, BAD vs. Cosmic for the second time was even better!

Thanks also to mike for not being frustrated at my ceaseless questioning and kev for his useful advice on court distribution.

a weekend to remember.

oh yeah are the anymore bern helmets left?!
i wanted to buy one but they got packed away before i had a chance on sunday..

Yup. They managed to get some balls and a mallet to take home. Next years champs.

Yeah. I came home at 4.30am to find a note saying

"thanks for letting us stay. We took all your old balls. See ya."

Epic. Hope they come back next year..

There are a couple of helmets left - a couple of the large mens, one medium mens, and i think one of the ladies in medium (the pink ones that Vidal made popular) - i'm now also sporting one of those, they fit really nicely.

Cosmic V Netto was 5-3

I was holding Snoops off whilst Mat was wasting time at 4-3.
30 seconds left and people were shouting boring...
Mat hit it hard and scored the 5th to silence the crowd!

really? i thought it timed out? controversy rules!

You obviously didn't see that last strike!
It did go did it not?

I may be dreaming! The countdown was almost over...

werd... i was on the sidelines, toddy is right, i was shouting boring and then matt whacked it and it went in before the time went out

i don't know, but it's not important. great game whatever the scoreline was.

we lost to cosmic 4-3 actually.
if I remember, I scored the winner in the last 10secs from mid court then did the gay ghost ride to celebrate. What a game that was!

Winner being the 5th goal, to make it 5-3. You guys made one hell of a come back though. True battle - awesome.

speaking of balls, I donated two brand new red franklins, and i would like to get these back if any balls seem to have made it.

I left a franklin at downham on monday. It was the game ball, i forgot and left without picking it up. If anyone has it can they give it to snoops, as i only bought 5 for Manchester. Cheers

already asked for you andy, the london lot are keeping quiet. i got mine of mark but no sign of yours

Both those balls were mine, no?

What a game that was!

plus one

Fuck! We forgot to get a group photo of all the players.
