Men’s 1sts vs Cardiff 04/12/2013

The men’s first team crammed into a minibus with most of the girls team for  a long, boring drive up to Cardiff for our next u-polo match. With many of the first team unable to make the whole day commitment, the boy’s team was mostly second team players, who graciously stepped up and filled in for the missing firsts. With only 8 players in total, … Continue reading Men’s 1sts vs Cardiff 04/12/2013

Men’s 1sts vs Soton City – 26/11/13

Last Tuesday, the men’s first team took another trip to City’s Quays pool, this time to face their older, more experienced first team. With our defeat 2 weeks earlier to City’s younger team, we were keen to give a better performance, despite the fact that we were playing the stronger and more experienced team.

With last year’s winning (and battered to within a millimeter of falling apart!) trophy in the car, the boys were anxious to continue SUWPC’s success at the tournament. Unfortunately, with exams and put-off revision looming, the usual first team was left severely undermanned. Luckily, several … Continue reading Men’s 1sts Lady Richmond Brown Tournament 18/05/2013

Men’s 1st vs Weymouth/Portland 05/05/2013

On Sunday, our men’s 1st team had to summon a team to play the away leg of the Weymouth/Portland game. However, a bank holiday on Monday, and the approaching final exams made it really hard for us to gather enough players. Our team had only 7 players going until the last minute, when Michael Stephanou (Napa) decided to step up and come to the trip … Continue reading Men’s 1st vs Weymouth/Portland 05/05/2013
