new street 11am - i'll go, or send one of my minions.

*SUCH* an awesome day today - thanks to everyone who made it along and especial thanks to dan and ben for playing so well and getting us to the semis, i expected us to finish lower than the b team but we ripped them and played so well against netto+ben i was majorly chuffed.

sorry if i was a bit patronising with my "well done"s, "nice one"s, and "yeah, do that"s, but i just got really enthusiastic!

to those who couldn't make it, you missed an ace afternoon of 21 people playing friendly ref-free polo with no contention and loads of sporting behaviour.

congrats to fen boy 3 for winning the worst organised tournament of the year!

dan_lj - upload some photos!

(posted this on the roamin polo thread but in case u lot dont check that):

excellent photos dan, really show the court off well, especially those high-up ones. did you post a thread on the london polo forum? get a bit of word-of-mouth going, maybe...

how many one-legged shots? maybe ben is on to something.

i slammed so many times that day - two photos of me on the ground nowhere near my bike. trying a bit too hard...

can't wait for the euros now. friday is going to be ace, i just hope we'll have some energy for the competitive games on the following days.

Pics are indeed ace. My sis had the same camera till it got pinched last week in south africa!

Credit to DFP as well for a few of those, few nice shots from outside the court.
