immediatly after we were knocked out of the bff london in the pouring rain, he got his bag and left. he has not touched his mallet since.
#true story

Ha! Bet he's well gutted now :)

Thanks to everyone involved. Special big-ups to the other 2 Gnarly Bones - you guys are great. Everyone else - you know the score. It seems impossible to have a bad time when anything polo related happens. This was no exception, fucking awesome weekend.

I ♥ Polo!

General levels of brilliance all weekend.

Thanks to Bad for not taking us to the cleaners ;@), Congrats to Apples for a fantastic finish to the tourney, even bigger congrats to Cosmic for keeping their cool in a pretty manic last 10 minutes of the final to come back, take the lead and claim glory (always be wary when Tom gets released).

Thanks to whoevers house we stayed at and apologies to your flatmates for getting pissed off with us.

Cam, Emmet and Adam, 0800 still drunk polo on Sunday morning was the best idea.

Organisation was amazing, and thanks to Gabes for our draw! ;)

Took a fucking manual lens by mistake so not may pics but here's what I got

amazing weekend.
congrats to Cosmis, well done guys
thanks to all the Manchester people, and thanks to the other Apples.
this weekend was what polo is about.

This was such a good weekend - thank you everyone involved. Thanks Paul for putting us up, feeding us and great work on the trophy! Congratulations Cosmic and thanks for putting Malice out - meant I could relax for the final. Congratulations on MVP Josh - totally deserved it.

Some great games, goals and moments spread throughout the entire weekend. Incredible.

X X just try taking my mallet.

awesome.

Muchos gracias to all who made the weekend memorable.
Especially the organisers, Rich for putting us up and people who fixed and lent bikes when I buckled a wheel three minutes into the first game.
Despite being on the end of too many sound thrashings, it's great to escape our polo bubble in the north east and see what's gan on. Definitely did what was intended and gave the opportunity for a bunch of the smaller teams to mix with big hitters, all with good cheer as Bill mentioned.
Can't wait to get back on the court and try out some of the unbelievable bits of skill we saw in the last few rounds - staying on the bike, hitting the ball in a straight line, that sort of thing.

Awesome tourney, MCR. Nice one, Adam, et al. Thanks for having us! Cheers to Ben and Steve for the floor! And of course, Rupert and Bill for getting drunk with me.

In Yorgo's accent (after they knocked Zombie out of the BFF last year): "I hate Polo Fiasco!"

Yeah was a really good event....

I think the format and draws were pretty fair. IMO it was also a good idea to scrap the hand over possession rule for fouls. Buzzer scoreboard thing was ace. we need one!!!

...and i think the court size was pretty much perfect. Surface for the ball was good shame it didnt offer up a smidgey bit more grip for the bikes.

Thanks Chanchester... whos up for hosting next year? ;)

thanks so much woody, adam, chan, all the mcr crew. Great weekend, gutted to have got knocked out in the semis, but it couldn't have been to a more deserving and loving bunch. Looks like my fist kiss is more powerful than yours em! LP represented and ruled. Put that trophy in the northgate, but celebrate London not just NE. Bloody racists.

Thanks to DandA as usual, fucking golden Gabes eh WAC.
