Oh It Was Hot!

Last Sunday saw the first session of the Summer season and the weather was suitably Summery, as was the general mood of the willing poloists. It was hot and with 7 players there were 14 sweaty games to get through. Games started at 10 minutes and went to 6 minutes for the last 7 as it was just so hot! 

Number 1 seed Adam returned after a few weeks away and played to his usual expert standard, taking an eventual 2nd place overall behind ‘The Shouty One’ in first place. Adam was the highest goal scorer of the session with an impressive 14 goals (plus 1 own goal).

Andy ‘Gandhi’ did not do so well and came 7th. Just too hot for him I think. 

Nick scored an impressive blind, backwards, back-hand, bobble shot after someone shouted ‘no goalie’....He swiped at the ball from the halfway line, against the wall to see the ball veering just off course for the goal until if hit a lump on the court and bounced to divert into the goal!

There were the usual on-court bicycle repairs, jelly babies thanks to Mr Roger and no tantrums or excessive falling offs and no pitch invasions by dogs or pigeons.

This Sunday see’s Kol ‘The Statsman’ back in the saddle to host another hopefully cheery, warm session.

THe Summer League Starts Today

Sunday Funday

Last week saw the finals session of the Spring Season. Another win for Nick saw him maintain his dominance at the top of the league. Kol took second spot and young Andy “Gandhi” came an impressive third in the league. 

Full player stats can be found here

Well done to everyone who took part. The Summer Season starts next week and I think this time Nick may have a bit more competition for the top spot.

This week is a “Fun Day”. Expect lots of laughs, jaffa cakes, jelly babies and falling off. Everyone is welcome to come and have a go.

Nick Is Number 1

After an outstanding win at the last session Nick has secured his place at the top of the table. Only losing one of his games Nick “The Shouty One” beat the opposition by a clear 10 points. He now leads at the top of the table by an unreachable 40 points. The only downside to his performance was his not so impressive own goal. Well done Nick.

Will “Crappy Foot” showed a different side to his game at the last session. After his previous weeks exhibition on defence he showed us he could attack too and scored three cracking goals. Well done Will.

Today is the final session of the Spring Season and expect to see an exciting battle between Andy “Gandhi” and Kol “The Statsman” for second place. Only 2 points separate them in the league. Its going to be a close one. Andy “Gandhi” has shown impressive from recently and Kol is getting worried. When asked if he saw Andy as a threat to his second place position, he commented “Andy “f****n” Gandhi”! His bike is f****d, bits are falling off it all the time. I don’t know how he f****n stays on it but he still manages to play f****n well. Yeah I’m f****n  worried”. Andy “Gandhi” refused to comment and mumbling something about having to get his wheel fixed.

Just so everyone gets a mention. Young Jack “The River Horse” and Dean” Double Dean” Dent were only separated by a bonus point although neither of them did very well. I’m not sure what to say about Mr Rogers uncharacteristic performance so I’ll just leave it there.

Big Will • Little Will

Last week was a tale of two Wills. Newbie “Big Will” had an impressive debut. Only losing 4 of his 9 games he managed to produce some excellent moves and scored 2 cracking goals. Not bad for someone who hadn’t played before.

Will “Crappy Foot” showed us how to do defence. He seemed to be able to stop every shot. Shouts of “Great block Will”, “Excellent defence”, “I can’t get past him” and “Just let me ‘f*****g score” resounded round the court. It just goes to show that you don’t have to be prolific goal scorer to reach the top. Well done will on your first #1 spot.

Praise should also go to Andy “Gandhi” who is one of our more attacking players. He was only just kept from top spot on goal difference. Well done Andy.

Two players with two different styles but two great results.

Last week was one of the rare sessions where everyone scored at least one goal. Nick “The Shouty One”, Dean “Double Dean” and Kol “ The Statsman” all shared top place scoring 10 goals each. An impressive 51 goals were scored on the day. That’s an average of 4.25 goals per game. Very impressive boys and girls.

Big Red gave us a master class in wheel trueing. I’m not sure if that is how you are supposed to do it but it was certainly interesting to watch.

And finally. We did miss “Young Jack” last week... no honestly... we did.... really. Dean had no-one to shout at and Kol found it very difficult to read out the teams without him in the background asking if he wanted a Jaffa cake.

Only 2 sessions left of the season and anything could happen.... So let’s play polo!
