Big Red Really is Back

It was Big Red’s first session this season and what an impact he made. After turning up fully padded up and with a shiny new GoPro strapped to his helmet he looked like he really meant business. Big Red only made two mistakes that day. The first was to forget to charge the batteries in his GoPro. A simple mistake but a disappointment to Big Red as he was looking forward to testing it out on the court. The second mistake was much more impressive. After some excellent games and some cracking goals Big Red left it until the second to last game to lose the plot. The pressure was on. It was 0-0 with very little time left. After a missed shot from the opposition Big Red retrieved the ball. A great move saw him cut in front of Kol causing Kol to put a foot down and then he casually tapped the ball between Andy’s wheels straight into the back of the net. Kol and Andy stared in amazement as Big Red raised his arms in the air and celebrated. Then came the look of realisation. Big Red had just scored the most impressive own goal in Hull Bicycle Polo’s history. Kol, Andy and Big Red went on to lose the game 2-0. Welcome back Big Red, this is why we’ve missed you.

Nick took top spot and Mr Roger is getting back into the swing of things. After a few poor results he managed to secure a second place. Well done Nick and Mr Roger.

It was only Byran’s second session of the season and he seems to be getting his form back. After a disappointing 9th place in his first session Bryan was determined to do better and he did. Even though he managed to knock his own players off their bikes several times during the session he still managed to secure third place. His nickname seems to have become “Bryan the 3rd”. A great nickname indeed but may be difficult to live up to. “Bryan the 12th” just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
