Pat3 Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Last weekend saw the first European League tournament of the season hosted by Oakenden Peddlers of Kent. Due to a variety of reasons our pool of players for the event was cut short and we ended up traveling with just three out of the eight allowed in a squad. Fergus, Alasdair and myself were given a 'guest' goalkeeper for each of the seven games over the two days of play but it still meant playing four against five in each game and not being able to make any substitutions. Our record was 4 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats which left us equal third out of the eight teams (St-Pierre de Varengeville, Frileuse-Sanvic, Gervais-Lilas, Johnstone, Ireland 1 & 2, Oakenden 1 & 2). Despite the lack of players we had a very enjoyable weekend of polo in the warm sunshine. The pitches were great, organisation was perfect and the matches themselves were all played in a good spirit. Now I've recovered a bit I'm looking forward to our own tournament in August when hopefully we can get two or three teams entered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kenny MacDonald Posted June 15, 2008 Members Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Great results for the 3 amigos I managed to get interview moved earlier to allow me to join the guys , but a gastric bug saw those plans scuppered. Polo tournaments and gastric bugs seem to be a recurring theme for me unfortunately If the 3 amigos can be bolstered by another 2 or 3 players what can they achieve at next round ?????
