Tourney: UK Champs Manchester 17-18.04.2010

Not a compass, pins from my sewing kit. Did you ever work out what the G stood for?!

Ah that sounds better. I heard someone mention a compass and imagined you lot just stabbing yourselves and pouring ink in. Brutal.

haha no, but whoever i let "have a go" on my leg kept forgetting to put any ink on the pin so was effectivly just stabbing me

aha videos will be goin up soon
i warn you, it sounds like im giving birth!
woody hit the bone one to many times ahaha.

B = Birmingham!
G = Glasgow!

aha i did a bit on ur leg but the dude u live with was the one forgettin the ink.

Cheers all. Good times. Thanks for putting us up Hannah.

Big up MCR and all it's friendly inhabitants.

Nice one Cosmic & Josh MVP.

A quality weekend.

Was this the 3guys(cb)/UKChamps game? If so, we got the whole lot on video ;)

My weekend highlight after the Cogs/Netto match.

Hannah was a brilliant host. Thank you so much.

Sweet wkend... those knock out games were epically great! There was some truly entertaining moments!

Thanks Manchester, all who helped & took part you put on a good show..

Wicked weekend, thanks to all you MCR lot.
Special thanks to Nes for offering to have us stay, and to Sophie who ended up having us stay.

Todd i can't stop laughing about the letter to your mum.

Well done Josh, and well done Coños!

Todd i can't stop laughing about the letter to your mum.

i want to know what she writes back! that was hilarious shame about the gash food joint..

+1 to everything above. Congrats Cosmic. Congrats Apples.

MCR, Adam, Woody, Ste, Chan, etc. ftw!

Chanfuckingchester!

On behalf of the EFG, thanks Adam and co for putting on a superb tournament.
A couple banjoed wheels, hungover Sunday, barby, banter and a goal against the bearded ones are all good memories to take away.
We had a great time playing/watching polo with all you guys and look forward to taking you on again.
Finally, thanks to all that piped up with a chorus of "Edinburgh" - that was f@#cking gallus!
Game on.

First tourney for the fledgling Replacements - is it always this good??! If so, I'm in for the long haul...

Yeah i want to know how Tuna Melt sounds like Queen Margarhita?

Finally got home.
Manchester your know how to show a community a good time. Massive love to all of you who had any input into making all of that happen. It. Was. Awesome!
Thank you Josh and Tony for an awesome weekend of polo...you guys played fantastically!
Polo train home was great...I don't remember loosing the pack on the ride east but i do remember standing outside the ladys house and goldenwheel going by.
Thank you Rory for putting us up, you were a gent. Anytime your in London you've got somewhere to stay.
That was the best weekend i have had for a long time.

A few snaps here:

how did you guys get on with attempting to put 30 bikes on one train?

It was ok in the end...bikes, bike bags, black bags, a fairlysound conductor on the train. By the time we got to Stockport any awkwardness was out of the way and then the good times rolled.

Here's the final for those of you that missed it.
I haven't uploaded it at full quality for speed's sake and haven't edited anything or done anything with the sound.
(Probbly best to watch it full screen?)

Will put up an edit of all the other footage as and when I can get round to it.
Haven't begun to look at photos yet…

UK Bike Polo Championships - Final (unedited) on Vimeo

Ah Rob you beat me to it! Still exporting tick tock tick tock....

Awesome photo mrkawasaki! Needs to go large:

That pic is funny as fuck!

that photo is just making me regret even more that Paul didn't get round to writing "property of Manchester" on the base of the trophy

All that laughing was after Brendan pointed shouting 'Sick Buckets' and we all looked to see if it was written underneath!
