What an excellent start to the season. Only five players but we had lots of fun. Kol “The Statsman” took top spot. Richard “Long Mallard” came second closely followed by “The One and Only” Mr Roger in third and Dean “Double Dean” in fourth. The results don’t always reflect the quality of individual performances and unfortunately Carl came in last on the day with only one point. This was quite a surprise as Carl scored six excellent goals (his session record) and put together some great passing moves. Well done everyone and better luck next time Carl.
Last week were joined by a “chatter” or a “takeover” of youths. I can’t decide if it was a "chatter" as they seemed unable to ever stop talking or a “takeover” as at every opportunity they took over our bikes, our mallards and the court. However they were an nice bunch of lads who showed a lot of skill and potential. Could they be the future of Hull Bicycles Polo.
Perhaps the highlight of the day was the Dean “Double Dean” Dent show. In an attempt to impress the young boys Dean soon started to perform some impressive 360 degree wheelie mallet spins thingies (or something like that). Needless to say his attempt to impress succeeded and he was soon overwhelmed with shouts of “Do it again Mr!..... Do it again Mr”. But hidden by the rapturous cheers, chants and applause a solitary voice mumbled quietly in the background .... “I bet he falls off”.
This week we will be mainly dodging the rain but don’t worry if its wet and gloomy this morning it will be all cleared up in time for polo. Richard “Long Mallard” is having a week off this week. Yes you read that right. Richard is not playing. No really he’s not playing. He is excused as it is his little uns 5th birthday tomorrow although the conspiracy theorists amongst us think there is more to it as tomorrow is also the final race of the MotoGp. Coincidence hmmm?
Never mind tomorrow sees the return of Nick “The Shouty One” and PC Paul “The Hardcourt Sheriff”. Who knows may even see a Young Jack or a Jacob on the court again.
COME ON DOWN AND LET’S PLAY POLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
