Before I go much further, we must asknowledge the departure of a fallen friend, Jono X. Marshall. Let us not remember him for all of those callous hecklings and bike smashes on-court, but rather for his feats off-court: his wicked smile like an oncoming stabber and efforts to develop the game that is London Bike Polo. A moment of silence for this great man because this write-up features the first game of his team in his absence. You have not been forgotten dear friend.
And now on to bigger and better things...the return of James Brown. And what a return it was as he aggressively helped the Dragon Slayers defeat the Mighty Beasts - which should be called the singular Mighty Beast because Ali was involved in every one of his team's goals except 2. It was a slow, strong outing by the Mighty Beasts taking a two-goal lead into the second half. But the slaying combo of Max and James proved to be too much for them as the Beasts found themselves down by four after a 20-minute dry spell. Ouch. Dragon Slayers went on to win it by two, 13-11.

I could have gotten it wrong, what say you Alexis?

I scored twice, doesn't really matter though aslong as the score is right. Thanks for the write up!

Well shoot man, I'm sorry. We'll have to knock off two of Ali's. I didn't think he was that good anyway.

DragonsSLAYERS were Max, Andy, Fiona, with James Brown in for Jono; Mighty Beasts were Ali, Alexis, Louis, Vit, Rick, with no Cam.DragonsSLAYERS fell a few behind early on but had a better second half and pulled it back to win 13-11 I think. A fair few spills on carpets of leaves but a fun game, good spirit. Many pintsh in the pub afterwardsh to shelebrate Fi’s birthday (hic). Big up to John, Mrak and Jordan for reffing.
