Great day yesterday. The throw-in tourney was a great success, with great weather, and great tacos. Everyone seemed to have a good time (although there were a few close calls – Todd almost got an eye-implant, and Brian will forever know the strength of Rik and his mallet of Ti!).
From Tomasito of Cosmic (the winners of the stolen trophy):
Lovely tacos, great polo, and the loveliest trophy in polo safely returned. 127 quid raised for Greenpeace -thanks so much everyone, especially Brian for the tacos and some sweet passing and scoring with Pique on our way to victory! Great day.
Some pics of the day from Will below the fold.

The league table is now up. And this year there will (hopefully) be more than just myself updating it, meaning quicker results. It’s being updated with Google Documents, so any changes are instant.
I’ve attached the table to this post, but you can also see them at any time by clicking on “Results” above.
Although the league has just begun, we have a tournament breaking up the flow already. But in a good way. Here are the details:
The trophy was stolen; the trophy will be returned.
Here is how:
-Throw-in tourney this Saturday (the 19th) at D’ham. 11am mega shuffle, 11:30 games begin.
-5 quid entry, money goes to Green Peace (first charity polo tourney ever? I think this is pretty cool regardless of trophy stuff. It’s a nice change from the polotics). Tom is collecting the cash.
-Brian will be selling tacos! Profits go to Green Peace.
-Apparently the trophy is to be returned after the tourney (so look for the person with a bulging bag) and there are supposed to be prizes.
Additional points
-Max is leaving the country for good (ha! yeah right) on Monday. I have rape paint.
-There have been a shit load of new players starting up in the last few months who are neither in the league, nor have they had a chance to play in a throw-in tourney. This could be pretty awesome.
-If there’s enough of us, the kids will be afraid.

The bad news is that this will probably have been the last BBQ at Downham this year. The good news is that means the new season is about to kick off (September 14th, to be exact).
Watch this space as we get everything together for what will surely be another awesome season.
