A nice friendly tournament. Thanks to all of the Sheffield guys and gals that sorted this out. Had some really nice games in the sunshine (and a fair few beers). Just heard that Chan, Chris and Lefty Chris won, so congrats for that. Loved beating Stoner and Co today. Can't really remember what happened yesterday but I am sure we beat them before. There is no way a 13yr old child could take the ball off of me on a polo court. No way. Red Deer pub was funny, especially the quiz, which I think me, Andre and Rita won if I am not mistaken. All in all a fun weekend. Thanks so much to Andrew for putting our team up in his nice apartment in the city. Look forward to seeing you all again soon. ENGERLAND!

Thanks to everyone involved this weekend, both in organising and playing - there were a lot of happy faces at the end of the day!
Congratulations to our winners:
The "Reet Good!" trophy - We're Not Pornstars... Anymore! (Allan, Donnie, Sylwia)
The "Champion!" trophy - Liver Birds (Chan, Lefty Chris, Landslide)There seemed to be a lot of positive feedback on the format - splitting the seeding from the Swiss rounds into two separate double-elims made for a lot o freally close games right the way through the finals.
It was a true pleasure to host you all - here's to the next time!

Really fun two days - got some love back for polo after a bit of a break. Format added to the positive vibe - apart from seeing Barrymore's Boys on repeat...! ;-) Everyone had something to play for throughout the day and the Reet final(s) trumped the Champion final for lolz and drama. Great to see Hull and Grantham stepping up and props to MVPs including Lizzie and Killah Joe. Thx for the invite to play for the Flowery T's from Em and John - we had a fair run to third. Bring back the National Series in 2015 purleez...
