Men’s 2nds vs Portsmouth B – 28/11/2013

9 of the club’s finest gentlemen made the trip to Pompey for the 6th match of the season (and my 4th match of the week, #gobig). Many thanks to Pres for stepping up and driving half the team there. After the disappointment of the 1st‘s City game the night before, I was keen to get the team pumped for the Portsmouth match. After a bit … Continue reading Men’s 2nds vs Portsmouth B – 28/11/2013

Men’s 2nds vs Cardiff – 24/11/2013

The second’s first UPolo match of the season was against Cardiff, our 3rd game of the season. We fielded a strong team, which is beginning to bond and work together.

Men’s 2nds vs UWE 06/11/2013

The first U-Polo match of the season for the Men’s seconds was a home game against UWE.

Men’s 2nds vs Soton City – 05/11/13

Just to put on record the epic defeat suffered by the Men’s Second team at the hands of Southampton City Men’s “2nd team”. With a 23 goal head start the 8 gentlemen who made the trip along with Coach Robin thought that surely holding the ball for 40 minutes would be enough to prevent that number going past Jedi Piers. However, with a Greek captain … Continue reading Men’s 2nds vs Soton City – 05/11/13

Men’s 2nds vs Andover 28/10/13

Last week saw the Men of the Southampton 2nd team play their first match of the season against Andover men. The match started slowly, with just one goal from Conal in the first quarter, leaving us 1 – 0 up at the break. We kept the in-break chat nice and calm, with no Greek swear words and came out for the next quarter, where there … Continue reading Men’s 2nds vs Andover 28/10/13
