Is Five The New Four?

5 PLAYERS

Last week saw five players turn up for what turned out to be an epic day of bicycle polo.

5 BONUS POINTS

Five of the games played resulted in one team scoring 5 goals. A total 5 bonus points were scored on the day.

5 SECONDS

Dean “Double Dean” Dent was on fire last week and he managed to get a hat trick of “off the joust” goals. Very impressive indeed. More impressive was the fact that he scored each goal in exactly five seconds.

5 GOALS

Dean “Double Dean” and Kol “The Statsman” were teamed up against Nick “The Shouty One”  and “The One and Only” Mr Roger. After Dean scored his “Off the Joust” goal he soon started knocking them in from all over the court. Pretty soon it was 4-1 to Dean (& Kol).

They then decided that Dean was to score the final goal to win the game. This almost went very wrong with Mr Roger and Nick quickly bringing the score back to 4-4.

When the ref (PC Paul) announced that there were only 5 seconds to play after the restart Dean’s Ears pricked up and he announced confidently “This has got my name all over it”. He wasn’t wrong. As soon as the ball crossed the line he took his shot and scored right in the centre of the goal. The game ended with just 4 seconds to play.

IS FIVE THE NEW FOUR?

Over the last few years Dean has always liked the number 4 and always performs better when he is ranked #4 on the day. After last week’s great performance will he prefer #5. We shall soon see. 

It is Sunday again so let's play polo.
