It was time for the 2nd team’s first U-polo match on foreign soil. The passports were packed, euros ready and Gav was really excited about going home. This was a trip that had it all; miles of boring driving, traffic light games, questionable refereeing and goalies desperate to score a back-shot.

This year’s U-Polo tournament continued on Monday, with us playing against UWE. This was our first away game for the academic year and we only managed to have a team of 9, as many couldn’t make it due to obligations (university related or other). Having a small number of players and playing against a team (13 people) that was coached by the Team GB’s water … Continue reading Men’s 1st vs UWE 12/11/2012
