Wednesday 18th November, Newington SE1
Game one: SLAP 1 – Cogs 3
Cameron 4.09
John Cog 5.55
Cameron 7.30

A close game, but with Cogs going up 3-0 by half time. John Mack getting one in for SLAP in the last few minutes. SLAP made a couple of great saves on the line too.
BRBPC vs Polo Fiasco
From Otters:
Game 1
Dan wins the charge, takes it round T&J and pops it through Adrienne’s BB in 8 seconds. 1 – 0
Fiasco gain composure and Josh equalises after 1”44 1 – 1
Tony and Josh are passing well, BRBPC blocking and hustling, Tony puts Fiasco ahead at 4”10 1 – 2
There’s a lot of back and forth, cracking shots from Tony; there’s a giant pause at the top of his back-swing when time seems to stand still, before he lets fly. All to no avail. Matt, Dan and Roxy are swapping out and working hard. Dan makes it level again dead on 10 minutes. 2 – 2
Tony puts Fiasco back in the lead again a minute later. 2 – 3
There is a goalmouth scramble with lots of footdown, Josh is at full stretch but fails to put a static ball over the line.
In the last 30 seconds Dan has at least 4 shots, all of which ricochet off Adrienne’s wheels.

Cosmic³ vs. Los Coños
Report from Chris:
Cosmic³ vs. Los Coños
An eagerly anticipated fixture found the polo masses huddled round London’s famous Newington court 2.
Los Coños are the crowd’s favourites due to a combination of local pride and the allure of the underdog, but Cosmic³ are playing well this season, and Los Coños will need to be at their very best if they’re to get anything out of this fixture…

Spinal Tap Out vs. Polonium 210
From Emmet:
West London meets itself and despite the light hearted nature of western play there is a sense from both teams to achieve beyond their performance to date. Hurlingham park is a buzz with sporting prowess and rugby hearts, but little attention is payed to that corner of the field where polo breathes.

ELKs vs. Polonium 210
From Lebowski:
Game 1.
Elks seem pretty confident about this fixture. So confident that Jono started celebrating at lunch time and was quite drunk by the 7.00pm start time. 3, 2, 1 polo and Jono and Ali are both quick off the break and get to the ball well before Polonium. Jono, however, is quite drunk and passes straight to Tom who finds himself with the ball heading towards the Elks goal. Tom, not expecting this turn of events, panicks and mis-hits a shot towards goal. The ball rolls slowly towards Ray in goal, who somehow manages to completely miss the ball and watches it roll beneath his BB. 30 seconds in, Polonium 1 – 0.
Elks regroup and Jono and Ali move forward with purpose. Jono scores quickly at 1.30′ and again at 2.00′. The boys decide to allow Ray out of goal, and the pace of the game slows down slightly, but Elks are still well in control of the ball and the game. Ray scores at 6.30′ then two quick goals by Ali and Jono at 7.15′ and 8.10′ finishes off the game.
Final Score 5 – 1

3 Beards 1 Cup vs. Polo Fiasco
From Robb Slamm:
Game 1
Both teams start the game with real vigour, lots of movement about the court, Bill is doing well at holding the ball close.
An unlucky defensive error by Adrienne lets Bill in at 1:35 to get 3 Beards’ first goal.
2:55, a thunderous slapshot from Snoops hits Tony’s wheel making a satisfying noise.
3:40, a beautiful reverse pass from Josh puts Tony through to the 3 Beards goal but he was unable to finish
4:30, a mallet hack from Bill fails to upset Adrienne
4:50, Snoops slips and crashes on the slick ground which allows Fiasco to break and score their first goal.
3 Beards look to settle into the game with good possessional play and excellent passing.

Cosmic vs. Black Rebel BPC
From JonoMarshall:
Game 1
Both teams start the fixture with a strong bias placed on passing, this results in an even amount of attacking play from both teams with the ball hardly ever hitting a sidewall or getting stuck in a corner, lovely. Cosmic start to pass longer and faster than Black Rebel, resulting in BR being left too committed… Matt breaks to be one-on-one with Roxy and scores, 1-0.
The game starts to become more dominated by Cosmic who are playing a very considered and reserved game. Tom takes advantage of a long pass and scores, 2-0, Matt follows this 20 seconds later, breaking from an intercepted pass, another goal, it’s 3-0.
The game stagnates for a few minutes, BR are struggling to find space in Cosmic’s half and are often left holding the ball outside of the D waiting for a pass/play to open up. Cosmic hold back and break on forced errors, Todd breaking and getting a goal halfway through the fixture, 4-0.
Black Rebel have had a failed few shots on goal and look eager to get on the scoresheet, there’s a bit of messy play in Cosmic’s half after Dan holds the ball, both Todd, Tom and BR’s Dan footdown and are out of the play, Cosmic Matt grabs the ball and guards it in his own half while a frustrated Roxy shouts to BR’s Matt to get the ball and score. BR’s Matt goes to challenge for the ball as the other players come back into the game, but Cosmic Matt manages to wrong ‘im and almost gets the final goal, Roxy stays strong in goal and dismisses the speedy shot.
BR keep attacking and have some nice hook-ups between Dan and Matt, but fail to score. Cosmic re-group after another attack from BR leaves Dan needing to tap back in. Tom goes straight to BR’s goal and ends the first game at 10.30, 5-0. BR look disappointed.
