Last Sunday saw the first session of the Summer season and the weather was suitably Summery, as was the general mood of the willing poloists. It was hot and with 7 players there were 14 sweaty games to get through. Games started at 10 minutes and went to 6 minutes for the last 7 as it was just so hot!
Number 1 seed Adam returned after a few weeks away and played to his usual expert standard, taking an eventual 2nd place overall behind ‘The Shouty One’ in first place. Adam was the highest goal scorer of the session with an impressive 14 goals (plus 1 own goal).
Andy ‘Gandhi’ did not do so well and came 7th. Just too hot for him I think.
Nick scored an impressive blind, backwards, back-hand, bobble shot after someone shouted ‘no goalie’....He swiped at the ball from the halfway line, against the wall to see the ball veering just off course for the goal until if hit a lump on the court and bounced to divert into the goal!
There were the usual on-court bicycle repairs, jelly babies thanks to Mr Roger and no tantrums or excessive falling offs and no pitch invasions by dogs or pigeons.
This Sunday see’s Kol ‘The Statsman’ back in the saddle to host another hopefully cheery, warm session.
