Sunday Funday

Well done to everyone who played during the Summer Season. Its been great fun with great goals, some excellent teamwork and lots and lots of falling off. Well done to Nick who wins the league for the second time and congratulations to Big Red and Kol for their second and third places. Although Big Red didn’t get the top spot in the league, he still managed to retain his #1 ranking.

After the excitement of last weeks final session of the Summer Season, this week we take it easy. An afternoon on fun and frolics. Bring your drinks & snacks. Its going to be a very civilized afternoon with lots of fun and games. Everyone welcome to come and have a go

Expect the unexpected and don’t fear the unknown.

What a great final session of the Summer Season. Well done everyone.

Red October

This is it, the final session of the 2013 Summer Season and its still very tight at the top. After Nick’s devastating defeat last week, coming 9th out of 9, Big Red moves into the top spot. Going in to today’s session Big Red now leads Nick by  6 points. Nick and Big Red seem to have got 1st and 2nd spot firmly in their grasps. Will the “Shouty One” see Big Red or will he just see red. Its going to be a tough battle between them today. 

3rd and 4th spot are being competed for by Mr Roger and Kol. Both on 168 points with Kol just leading on goal difference. Will Kol be on form today and will he put Mr Roger in a corner. It seem unlikely as we all know Nobody Puts Mr Roger in a Corner apart from Mr Roger himself.

5th and 6th places are being fought for between Young Jack and Dean “Double Dean” Dent. Jack is currently leading by 9 points but after Dean’s emphatic win last week  anything is possible. Going from last place in the previous session to first place in last weeks session, Dean has proved that he has the ability but not necessarily the consistency. Can he pull it out of the bag again today or will Young Jack be on fire again and retain his 5th place.

This week also sees the return of Bryan “heads up” Berue. After taking what seems like the whole summer off from Polo, will Bryan have forgotten how to play or will he just fall off a lot. Oh... I remember now .. that’s how he used to play. Looking forward to seeing you back on the court Bryan.

Another Newbie will be joining us today. After several weeks of persuasion Dave has finally bit the bullet and decide to join us. Let try to be kind to him on his first day and not break him.  

BRING ON THE POLO

Well this is interesting. A good win by Dean just beating Big Red on goal difference and an impressive 4th place for Young Jack. I don't know what happened to Nick yesterday though. Well done everyone another great session.

Not a Gibbon

Two weeks ago Mr Roger put in an excellent performance and gained his second win of the season. The two Cols came in second and 3rd. Newbies Mike and Andy had some great games. Looks like Andy’s getting into his rhythm now. Young Jack came in 6th, although he was on fire most of the day with some cracking goals and great defending. Dean “Double Dean...Why didn’t you mention my return in the Mallard” Dent came in last winning only 1 game. You need to up your game Mr Dent.

This week sees the return of the “Shouty One”. After a couple of weeks basking in the sun, Nick returns to defend his number one spot in the league. A difficult task as Big Red is only 7 points behind and has been playing consistently well throughout the season. Kol and Mr Roger are battling it out for 3rd and 4th places but poor performances from Nick and Big Red could see them challenging for 2nd place. Its certainly going to be an interesting session today and with only 2 sessions left in the season anything could happen. Nick’s number one spot is definitely not a Gibbon.

Today also sees the return of our favourite part-timer Adam “The Workaholic” Smith. Although Adam is too far down in the league he can still defend his ranking. Currently ranked second, a good session today could see him climb above Big Red and take the number one spot. 

With a potential 9 players today don't be surprised at the results. 

No Polo Today

We’re off to the Yorkshire Bicycle Show in Leeds followed by a session at the velodrome in Manchester.

Along the way we will be giving moral support to that lunatic Mike who is riding solo from Hull to Manchester. I say moral support...we’re going to throw things at him and call him names. Its all for a worthy cause so we won’t be too mean to him.

Last week one of our players complained that his return after a period of absence was not mentioned in the Mallard. I do apologise Dean. Here is a mention just for you.

Dean “Double Dean” Dent returned last week and came last.

The season will be extended by one week to make up for not playing today

Hull Bicycle Polo's Mike Eyre is riding solo to Manchester to raise funds for the Angelman Syndrome Support Education & Research Trust. Go Mike!

Well, well, well what a day. We almost cancelled due to rain. Mr Roger came top in an epic session and it was nice to see the return of Dean "Double Dean" Dent even though he did come last. Well done everyone. Another Great Sunday Mix.

Return of the River Horse

Today sees the return of Young Jack to the court. Unable to play last week due to injury Young Jack stepped in and refereed the entire session. This was probably the most consistent and accurate reffing we have had for a long time. Well done Jack. Now he is physically fit and well and ready to get his River Horse ass back in the saddle. Watch out people Jack is on a mission

Last week saw the Col’s take the top two places. Big Red put in an excellent performance with some cracking goals and losing only three out of twelve games. He’s now getting closer and closer to Nick at the top of the league. Another good result today and anything could happen at the top. After the previous weeks win, Kol managed a respectable second place. Just one point behind Big Red. There may not be enough games for Kol to reach the top of the table but he is certainly in contention for third place. Kol and Mr Roger are only separated by two points in the league and with three sessions to go we will see a tough battle for third place.

Newbies Mike and Andy returned last week for their second session. Looks like, despite our efforts, we didn’t scare them off and now we’ve got them hooked. Mike put in a very good performance and  moves up two places in the league to 9th. It took Andy a while to show what he’s got. In fact it wasn’t until the very last game that he came to life with two excellent goals and some great positional and defensive play. Well done Andy. It seems like Andy may have found his mojo.

Lets hope the weather isn't too bad today. The forecast is for a lot of rain but hopefully the polo gods will hold it off until we've played.
