that was a super awesome tourney - best location ever! Girls Gone Weird might not have got the scores but we wore what has to be the best team kit ever (got a lot of odd looks wearing it in the airport on the way home). Great game against shit storm sisters - we'll take it next time!

Personal highlight - nearly beating femme de voyou, and watching Jo (and the rest) kill it in the final!

Ha I bet you guys played great! Damnit i wish I could have been there to cheer you on!

fun times in Barca. from a spectators point of view it was interesting (or maybe just more of the same) that the uk teams (ggw and shitstorm sisters) and jess, sophie and jo's teams all looked to play good, passing polo while most of the other teams were way way more focused on the blocking, double/triple goalie style of play.

Saying that Johanna and valley were probably the most effective at undoing the doubl/triple goalie situations they were often faced with and also played some blinding polo all the way through the tourney.

Special mention should go to Bristol's Sophie who I thought was awesome, massively improved and a constant danger for her team.

the finals were epic with golden goal at the end of the first final (with kapow! needing to win to force a second final) going on for 10/15 minutes. Soooo tense. Jo scored in the end to set up a final final in the pitch black with only photographers lights to show us anything. Sweet tourney in an AMAZING location and so much fun to just be a spectator at a polo tourney on the beach.

epic win Barca!

What Ben said. Amazing weekend. Euro ladies taking it up a notch!

#blocktheblock

Shitstorm sister is a hard one! I'm really curious what would be a result of our matchplay. We started the tournament's first game against eachother, they beat us 3-2, then we met in the losersbracket.. I think it was 2-0 to us, so they owe us a game:)

Great tournament, I loved it. So many impact, experiences, thanks for the support as well, it really helped us in the end.. It is so energetic to play in a team where everyone is always happy:) I had some bad experiences before, and I think the positive thinking gives sometimes more than individual skills... Sometimes, of course:P

Cant wait for the next one!!!! :D
