“Rain, Wind, Pedals & Balls”

Last week was a most excellent session indeed even if we did have torrential rain mid session. Sir Richard “Long Mallard” gave it his all to comfortably win the session. It turns out that “his all” was actually quite a lot with a personal performance of 114.81%. (4.81% Contemplation,  5% Observation, 9% Acceleration, 26% Motivation, 28% Facial Hair and 42% Perspiration). Well done Richard a great effort.

In a very hectic and fast paced match Dean “Double Dean” decided to put “The pedal to the metal”. Unfortunately this move was not communicated effectively to his bicycle which decided to put the pedal to his knee. This resulted in Dean hobbling around the court for a long period resembling a scene from Family Guy. Ouch!! Mr Roger soon got jealous of the attention Dean was getting and decided to try and catch a very fast ball using only his private are. Unsurprisingly this did not go too well and Mr Roger continued to play the remainder of the game in goal.

We had lots of excellent shots and goals on the day. Perhaps the most memorable was Kol’s “cracking” shot which literally cracked his mallet head clean off its shaft and sent it flying high across the court. Nobody knows where the ball went.

Kol went on to receive a lot of abuse from his own team mates during the final game of the session. It seemed like they had all forgotten how to pass, shoot, or even ride a bike. After being 2-0 up they soon found themselves 4-3 down. A frustrated Kol gave his team a moral boosting pep talk which went something like this... “Give me the ball. You shambolic set of  c*&@s”.  Kol went on to score the final 2 goals to win the game 5-4.

The "Out Of Towners"

Three “Out of Towners” joined us for the day and by the look of the results also showed us how it is done. Well done all and well done Markus on a good win on your first day at Hull Bicycle Polo. 

Possibly the best quote of the day was by our very own Sir Richard “Longmallard”.

All about that BB

Last week saw the end of  the Winter Season and although there were only five players we had a lot of fun. It seemed like the focus of the whole day was around the Bottom Bracket with Guinness Dave’s collapsing quite early on in the session resulting in him having to borrow bikes for the rest of the day. This was very confusing for the young man but was highly amusing for the rest of us. Kol “The Statsman” spent mot of the day trying (successfully) to score goals through The Shouty One’s bottom bracket and Young Jack tried to get in on the bottom bracket act by attempting (unsuccessfully) numerous “Hollywood” shots. Unfortunately he was more Mary Berry than Hollywood which is possibly why he came last on the day.

The day ended with a good win for Nick and with Mr Roger (top goal scorer on the day) coming a close second. It was a great day with some cracking goals and great passing moves. Well done everyone.

Kol just managed to do enough to hold onto the #1 spot in the League with “The One And Only” Mr Roger only 2 points behind in second place. Sunday’s win saw Nick “The Shouty One” knock PC Paul “The Hardcourt Sheriff” off third spot. Unlucky Paul.

The Top goal scorers were Kol (69), Nick( 61) & Mr Roger (60). Dave T looked the most likely to score with average of 1.48 goals per game. The final ranking saw Richard “Longmallard” take the top spot followed by Nick in second place. Kol just managed to stay ahead of Mr Roger to take third spot. A great season. Well done everyone.

Today sees the start of the Spring season. Looks like there should be a good turn out although it may be a bit wet and windy. Normal Bike Polo weather really. 

LET'S PLAY POLO!

“They came from far and Hull”

Dave N “Hulltimate” made his bicycle polo debut in style spilling blood all over the court. Although he seemed to spend most of his time on the floor or tapping out he put in a very good performance and even managed to score a goal. There were shouts off “shuffle” but these were ignored by the referee. He did score again later but that one was unanimously declared as a shuffle. Well done Dave. A great performance on your first day.

We were also joined by Dave M from Chester and Dave T from Leeds. Dave M made his Hull Bicycle Polo debut and put in a great performance to come in 3rd on the day. Although Dave T scored a whopping 16 goals and played excellently all day he still only managed 6th spot. Well done to Dave, Dave and Dave. Thanks for making it a most enjoyable day.

The passing game last Sunday was excellent which in turn resulted in some outstanding goals. The overall standard of play last week was very impressive. Well done everyone.

This week is the last session of the Winter Season and to celebrate we have arranged for temperatures to reach a massive 13 degrees. Yes 13 degrees. Oooh its going to be a warm one. Unfortunately the big yellow burning thing in the sky will not be making an appearance today as according to sources it is stuck in heavy snow just somewhere between New York and Washington DC. 

Come on down and LET'S PLAY POLO!!!

Wellington Lane Hardcourt 2pm. Everyone welcome.
