"Mix It Up" Sunday 15th February 2015

The boys from MHBP came along and joined us for the day. Thanks to Arthur, Scott, Chan, Steve, Rob and Alan from Manchester and Nick, Dean, Col, Jack, Mr Roger, Paul and Kol from Hull for making this a great day. We won't mention the chaos of the final Hull vs Manchester game. 7 vs 6 just doesn't work.

Manchester Cometh!!!!!!!!!!!

Lock up your daughters and hide your booze the Manchester crew are descending on Hull today to “Mix It Up” with the Hull Bicycle Polo boys and girls. Now I’m not very good at places and that there geography stuff but I have been informed that Manchester is a small village somewhere down a bit and to the left. I’m not sure what that means but I’ve looked on that google maps thing and the whole village is only 4 inches wide so expect a lot of very small people. 

Some say that the Manchester Council  has had enough of this Bike Polo nonsense and have kicked them out of town. Others suggest that they have drunk Manchester dry and are looking to Hull to quench their thirst. Either way it’s going to be a great session. The boys will be getting into Hull around 12:30ish so a slightly earlier start than normal around 1:30ish so don’t be late. Exciting times.

The weather forecast looks good for today too. There may even be some of that burning yellow thing in the sky although it does look like it may have burnt itself out before we play.

BRING ON THE POLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let’s Spring into Action

Last week saw 7 players, one neck injured “workaholic”, several beers, flapjack and a dog join together to become a very fun Sunday Funday. Oh we did have fun. The seven player tap out/tag out game did confuse everyone and “bottom bracket” and “upsy downsy” caused much amusement. We even had a “knife fight” or two. Thanks to everyone who turned up and really did make it a “Sunday Funday”

Today sees the first session of the 2015 Spring Season. Will Kol “The Statsman” be able to retain his “League Champion” status and the first player to have three consecutive league wins. Will Adam “The Workaholic” and Nick “The Shouty One” still be battling for the top ranked player or will a new face put a spanner in the works.

Dean “Double Dean” started to find his form at the end of the season and now he’s perfected hit 360 degree pivot thingy he can start playing the game. After a very poor last few sessions expect Mr Roger “The One and Only”  to come back fighting. Especially now he had a new steed. 

PC Paul put in an arresting performance last season and should be a contender for the title. Paul “Worm” could easily wriggle up the table if he concentrated more on the game rather than knocking Kol “The Statsman” off his bike all the time. “Young Jack” is getting better every week and if he every stops growing he is definitely a future winner.

Now then, Will “Crappy Foot” Fish has become very proficient at turning. he does do it well and also lets everyone know that he is doing it too. Very courteous of him indeed. Maybe one day he will get over his obsession with turning and play some polo.

Another Sunday Funday

Battered, Bruised and Born to Play Polo

Today is the last session of the Winter Season. It has been an excellent season with lots and lots of spectacular goals and great team play. We must be getting better as we have not had as many injuries this season as we normally do. Could it be that our skills have improved. Could it be that we are just avoiding each other or could it be that Adam “The Workaholic” has only played 2 sessions this season and just hasn’t had the chance to knock us off our bikes yet.

Last week saw Dean “Double Dean” Dent eventually find his form and get a well deserved 2nd place on the day. Nick “The Shouty One” just beat him to top spot and a bad week for Mr Roger “The One And Only” saw Kol “The Statsman” go 12 points ahead at the top of the Table.  A good result for PC Paul today could see him challenging for 3rd place. Its still all to play for.

So tweak your bikes, polish your mallards, come on down and Let’s play polo.

Did anyone notice Adam is back?

I don’t know if anyone noticed but Adam “The Workaholic” returned to Hull Bicycle Polo last week. His return did seem to go by unnoticed as he slipped quietly into his games. Nobody noticed his excellent passing or  his very impressive goals. Nobody noticed him winning all his game and scoring all those goals and nobody noticed him running them of their bikes and leaving them in a heap on the floor. All in all Adam’s performance went by pretty much unnoticed. Even winning the session and becoming the top ranked player seemed to go by without anyone spotting it. We do apologise for not noticing your excellent performance last week and we shall endeavour to pay more attention to you this week. Well done Adam.

Possibly the most noteworthy event from last week was Dean “Double Dean” Dent’s return. After not playing for four weeks he soon got back into the swing of things. By the swing of things I mean the stuff he does at the other end of the court when everyone else is busy with the game. It was all worthwhile in the end and by the end of the day his 360 degree pivot back spinning thingy was perfected. Unfortunately practicing this during match play did have an effect on his performance. Well done Dean you spin yourself right round baby...  like a record baby ... right round .......... right round.

In other news Young Jack almost removed Nick “The Shouty One’s” shoulder from its socket in a head on coming together. Will “Crappy Foot” Fish practiced some more turning and circling. PC Paul just wanted to get close to everyone and a poor performance from Mr Roger “The One and Only” sees Kol “The Statsman” go 9 points clear at the top of the table. There are also rumours that “Guinness” Dave will be returning this week. Bring on the polo.
