The "Funtastic" Four

Last week saw just Sir Richard Long Mallet, The One and Only Mr Roger, The Hardcourt Sheriff PC Paul and Kol “The Statsman” battle it out in an epic two on two session.

Sir Richard was there early and with his trusty hoe proceeded to hack and slash his way  though the weeds and debris on the court. Obviously we made a lot of hoe jokes but they were far too rude to put on here. All in all a job well done sir. Maybe we should change your name to Sir Weedsalot.

Once the court was cleared the battle commenced. Two on twos are always fast and furious and last week’s were no exception.

After a lot of high paced games with a lot of huffing, puffing, panting and most importantly.... laughing Sir Richard went on to win the session just beating Kol on goal difference.  An excellent session indeed. There were four of us and it most definitely was Funtastic. Well done everyone.

This week should see a few more players and hopefully enough for some 3 on 3’s. 

Will Sir Richard continue to dominate the court in his quest to weed out the opposition. 

The only way to find out is to come and play so........

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.

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.

Stats, Stats and More Stats

I thought it would be interesting to see how the individual teams performed yesterday. So here you go.
