Nice one all.

Congrats Josh - well deserved!

What an awesome weekend.
Thanks to Dalestar and Swifty-H for the teamwork, the MCR folks for organising it, everyone else for being ace.
Apologies to Mr Lockett for being a knob (but I was a bit over-excited at winning a game).
Congratulations to Cosmic for winning.

Same time next year?

Popped in for a bit today, watched the last 2 quarter finals. As a non polo player gotta say i was blown away by the skills on show, great bike handling, coordination, and lack of fear (especially at face off or whatever the games start with) on show.

Well done all involved - looked like a whole heap of fun.

really awesome weekend -thanks to everyone involved and especially the organisers and woody for putting us up/permanently scarring two of us...

we thoroughly enjoyed all of our games but are especially grateful to sheffield for giving us our first competetive victory. us and conos have unfinished business...

thanks all for an awesome weekend.

And Landslide for propping up a recently formed Sheffield team ( 6 goals for Sheffield & 6 goals for Landslide).

Fucking hell...!!!

What an awesome weekend....! I'd like to thank the many people who helped everything come together (in no particular order) Woody for being the kingpin of everything to do with housing the rabble, Ste for organising the goals, Kawasaki Neil for the bbq & tunes, the Saturday lunch break was excellent, so nice to see everyone just relaxing and chatting instead of stressing about polo, Paul for the last-last minute trophy soon to be installed at the Northgate i presume... all the sponsors for throwing in prizes at the last minute, particularly Snoops & Hassan for making us 3 Belk bags, awesome... all the MCR polo lot who have been harrassed into running errands and generally doing shit for me... Craig Nasty & Chris from Cantgoslo for sorting out the printing of the champs tees so we could raise a bit more money to help cover costs (sooooo appreciated)..... everyone who came, ate, drank, crashed & played polo... it was incredible to see the UK polo scene represented in Manchester... whos doing the next one then....?! also whoever decided to have a whip round for me and evryone who threw-in, that was really touching and (almost) unexpected (ask Emmet)...! Chan & Mirek for being the best value team mates in MCR, Aiden & all the guys & girl at Arcadia for putting up with us all for the weekend.... everyone who did an awesome job of reffing the games, i didn't hear of a single contentious call all weekend.... there are surely more people to thank but i forget right now....

I'm glad it's over! and i'm looking forward to waking up and seeing the whole weekend for what it was, an incredible weekend of polo, beers & laffs and not just the niggly, stressful moments that my head seemed to be filled with over the 2 days.... if i was short or abrubt with anyone or didn't talk to anyone enough please understand my head was all over the place....

and **of course **Cosmic for winning, that last games was so incredible, i loved the moments when all you could hear was Gabes & Ems freewheels clicking, complete tension.... until Tom told us all to cheer and we all did...!!!

THANK YOU UK POLO, YOU DID YOURSELF PROUD...

+1

Exciting stuff! cant wait to see the final rankings, and cant believe i missed an Apples/Cosmic final! well done everyone, especially fiasco!

And of course, thank you Gabes, without your brackets and schedules and circle seeding we (i) would have been lost....
