I remember the last time I played against you when you were drunk. One of the funniest games of polo ever. Didn't you take away a nice injury from that game? I remember you falling off A LOT.
That wasnt drunk, that was mildly medicated. Ive got new armbands now anyway - so look out... ;$

Paracetamol and alka seltzer...
+1 to that

There will be the following booze on sale at the event.
Butcombe Bitter (4.0% ABV)
The West Country's favourite beer derives from pure Mendip Spring Water…notably bitter, clean tasting, refreshingly dry and distinctive. Made with 100% best Maris Otter malt (the Rolls Royce of malts), together with a blend of (never divulged) English hop varieties…Butcombe Bitter is a moreish Mendip masterpiece!  **Ashton Press Cider (4.8% ABV)**  *At last – a premium quality cider that tastes of apples!*
**Nose:** Fresh and fruity. **Palate:** Robust apple taste with a slight bite. **Colour:** Golden Straw. **Comments: **Ashton Press is made from all English apples, pressed locally and conditioned in oak vats, producing a wonderful medium dry, strong, golden cider of superb quality. A wholly owned subsidiary of Butcombe Brewery, The Long Ashton Cider Co. was purchased in 2003 to celebrate the achievements of the National Fruit and Cider Institute, based at the Long Ashton Research Station near Bristol, which enjoyed 100 "fruitful" years until its closure in 2003. **At 4.8% ABV this medium dry cider is slightly stronger and marginally drier than say, Westons Stowford Press.**There will also be a lager on sale too (TBC but probably Carling or similar - non draft).
THE GOOD NEWS IS, WE WILL BE CHARGING JUST £1 PER PINT ACROSS THE WHOLE EVENT!! THAT'S THE SAME PRICE IT WAS IN THE EARLY 90'S!! Hacked Off won't be drinking, but will be encouraging everyone else to drink as much as possible (especially before they play us!).
Oh God - there goes any possibility of 8-ball scoring anything let alone qualifying from rounds. I only need to bring a fiver and itll be the best weekend for a while... Read it and weep Ady. Next team name: Pistatpolo

Might it be an idea to start people off by asking them to take a turn at goal reffing first? at least then they get the feeling of being involved with the game and become more familiar with crowd heckling or player "chat" without the responsibility of calling the final shot - thats the refs job.
Really appreciate everyone who steps up for all these roles though - games couldnt happen without them!

fuck yeh!
Fah-Q!
Thanks Brighton for an epic day! Us Welshboys thoroughly enjoyed the whole Tourney experience - including the Skid-Bagging..:):)
Loved the support for a new team that were facing off against some really skilled, cool players! Thanks for the learning experience and we're stoked about our final position - 13TH OMFG!!
I loved it when we got a call to court over the tannoy and then crowd replied with a "Fah-Q too!" - hilarious...WE WILL BE BACK!

I've already made you bleed once Jeff...
LOL. Thats just the kind of comment I need on't interwebs...
catch you Sat, just sorting route from Wales. Is the M4/M25/pass Gatwick route best on Sat am you guys reckon?!? Trying to get our flight time down to a minimum.
Cheers Bristol polo for an excellent weekend. Great weekend by the crew on 8-Ball abeit we came joint last. Great games against Hacked Off (a draw counts as a win in my book!) and Acopolo (well the first one was great) and of course a wake up game against Shit the Bed...at least we got one against you!!! The standard of polo was sooo high, i was knackered even before the 40min + ride back from the pub on Sat :(
And who'd a thought that one minute youre sweeping a veritable tsunami from court 1 only to be parading your nice new shiny BrevM on it the next...?!?!?
Cant wait to learn how to play properly now. We need more people in Cardiff to play with.
Thanks Bristol!
