It was definitely better being red than nearly dead last week. The “Red” being “Big Red and the “Nearly Dead” being Kol. Big Red really stamped his mark on the first session of the spring season. With tight turning circles, cracking shots, great defending and the occasional complaint it was an excellent win and he goes straight in at the top of the league.
Kol on the other hand stamped his entire body all over the court. A trapped ball under his front wheel saw him do the bicycle equivalent of a forward roll. Landing flat on his back his bike soon followed and his saddle punched him squarely in his face. After a brief time out he got back on his bike and finished the game. During the rest of the session he was heard to say, “‘tis just a scratch”, “Ooo it hurts a bit”, “There’s blood on my bike, where’s it coming from?, “I can’t feel my fingers” and later in the pub, “Shite that f****ng hurts, I might have to cut it off”. Even later on at home when the bruising started to show, when his hand started to swell like a startled Puffer fish and when he thought no one was listening he was heard to say and “Ow I want my mummy”.
It’s a lovely day for it so LET’s PLAY POLO!!!!!!!!!!!!
