Tourney: 10-11th May 2014: Farnborough 4 v 4 Tournament

Tool roll is mine.
Thanks, Cam

That was great. I'm ruined but cheers Cam and everyone else that helped and cheers teamies for being awesome and actually doing surprisingly well and having fun at the same time.

How did people like 4x4, is it the future?
Also have you got scores/stats?

Dunno about the future but it was fun. Low scoring as defending was easier with more people to cover the back.

Thanks cam! the plastic cup in the picture is mine, but you're also welcome to that

A lot of fun but not the future. As rob said, far too easy to defend, too many counter attacking goals.

We did alright with it, best defence all weekend? Only let in 2 yesterday (I scored one) and 2 today.

Not including penalty goals, but I think they should only count if they're through the BB.

Great work this weekend cam and helen! Had a blast. Outdoor center for accommodation is the future. Loved the BBQ fire pit combo. 4v4 might not be the future, but it is fun.

lock and cap are mine! thanks for picking up, when you going to london next? any chance you could try give to tim?

penalty shootouts were a win for sure

Fuck off josh, the only boring player in the final ;)

I think more players/bigger courts is the future. However whilst we still have limited numbers/facilities we should stick to 3v3. Although there were less goals, I thought the games were more interesting to play in. There were some instances when you'd have 5 /6 players all chasing one ball into the corner/gutter, but better boards and surface would solve this.

Thanks Cam, Helen and Sophia for an awesome weekend. Your hard work was massively appreciated!

I enjoyed penalties.

When do we get all the stats? I hear Badger didn't get any goals all weekend.

Yeah, the first time I saw Badger in the final was when we hugged at the end.

Ah, the hug of consolation.

I am sure Badger has got bored of dishing them out by now.

Thanks Cam and Bells. I had a really nice time and loved the campfire and adventure playground. Definitely up for a polo retreat back in Farnborough soon.

I'm sure there are some aspects of the 4v4 that would improve over time (5 people in one corner) but for the time being I'm happier playing 3v3. I really enjoyed having a couple of games of pickup on Sunday as it let me try 4v4 without worrying about winning which opened things up a bit.

Also, It was the first time I've played in a final and it was pretty intense. Thanks Ryan, Jono & Cam for being great team mates and bringing the good times.

On another note, Robbie stole my toothbrush and toothpaste after I lent them to him so I'm not picking up/ dropping off/buying pints/apologising to anyone on his behalf for the time being.

You lent him a toothbrush? Ewwww

Sharing is caring, right Nik?

Thanks Cam and Helen and Sofia, loved it!!

Did anyone find my means hat? I might have left it at the court or the outdoor center.

Yeah, the first time I saw Badger in the final was when we hugged at the end.

I guess you had to come down to our goal and see me! My wheel was busted too cam but yeah nice hug x

Nice wkend though great to see everybody having some giggles In uk polo more polo retreats at courts with campsites that you can have a big fire too.

Where is the Cornish retreat?

The mud flap is mine. Trig left it behind!
