Upside down polo is an art that's too risky for them. Gotta take care of that prosthetic hip, you see.

I say that, but my hip really hurts...

Also, this thread needs more pre-match bullshit talk.

Old Skoolers Captain -Ste

Young Bangers Captain -MZA

Vice Captains to be announced tomorrow.

If there is an unequal pool of players the extra person will play for the Bangers.

Let the sh*t talk begin....!

Who's Reffing...?

2 x refs supplied by each team - I was planning on asking Drew and Em from the kiddies team and Adam and Neil from the pensionistas...

Best to have 2 refs operating in tandem - 1 for the game and 1 to manage team changeovers/ player times on court - with each ref having cover for when they're on court.

Refs to ensure no moving blocking/barging/checking within 1m of the walls - reset/ball turnover. Obviously stationery blocks remain acceptable.

1m safe zone is going to be interesting...

What's wrong with moving blocking?

I'm also up for allowing shuffles. We played shuffles allowed last weekend and it hardly made a difference. Except for making the goal ref's job easier.

Moving blocks are allowed, just not next to the wall. Should help avoid bar-fence conflicts.

Are there set colours for each team?

If not, I hereby declare Young Bangers "Team Red".

Is this going on at powerhouse or car park as it looks like it will be wet wet wet... will it still be happening in the rain?

Drew

I hate the car park, it's slippy and has massive columns.

If it's going to be postponed due to man flu or rain could you advise me soonish as I got to rush around over here getting my things together and catching train. Ta

Heavy rain from 6 according to the BBC. What do people think? I don't mind the rain, I'm generally not allergic to water.

I'll text you Ben as soon as I find out.

if its heavy rain from 6 how about postponing it till next thursday,

people who still want to play can do a normal polo session?

This would be perfect! I'd be gutted to miss this because of working nights. Free all next week though :)

I'd rather play this in good weather, if the "heavy rain" is anything like this mornings, then it'll just be chaos trying to play competitively...

I'm happy to postpone..

Me and Salman will be on court from 5 for drills/tactics/general practice/throw ins as people arrive. Will keep an eye on the thread to see what's happening.
