Sun, Goals and a Long Mallet!

In the long history of human kind many of the worlds peoples have made sacrifices to the gods in order to please them. We too of late have been sacrificing ourselves on the court spilling much claret. This appears to have pleased the sun and rain gods as they have been making special arrangements for our Sunday polo sessions.

The first session of the summer season was hot and humid. This combined with an intense session of 2 on 2’s and the occasional hang over made for a very tiring day indeed

5 committed people showed their faces and upon our arrival two local youths bowed to them, picked up their ball and left without so much as a word being uttered. Well done children. With respect like that you may land yourself a job one day.

We had some very enjoyable play indeed between us with some superb moves and goals. PC Paul invented the ‘reversing Hollywood’, Kol ‘The Statsman’, Dean ‘Double Dean’ and Rich ‘Long Mallet’ Franks scored some of the most impossible acute goals ever seen by science and deciding to go a stage further Kol then followed through on the biggest swing ever and destroyed the goal in one fowl swoop leaving it in a concertinaed heap on the floor.

Despite or perhaps because of this unfailing commitment, The Statsman took the day winning 8 of his 12 games putting himself in the top spot. A superb statistic that will please him. Mr Roger although not taking the day, carried his fine performance through from last season and put an astonishing 19 goals past the rest of the players. He really is the ‘one and only’ and seems unstoppable with his goal scoring. In other news Rich has a massive mallard that is disrupting everything!


It’s Sunday. The top spot is there to take. Let’s polo.
