you're up early Bill, did you accidently press the "warden assistance' button again?

must be on divert... cos i just got the call.

Beautiful day for it guys and gals, see you down there in a bit... :D

Heading out soon, see you all there.

The live stream is here: http://www.sonshine.tv/websites/ehbpc/

a lot of advertisment break-outs and no information who plays

Hard to disagree with you. There's no commentary, loads of advertiser slides, muffled background sound when there's not muzak playing.

Shame... pictures aren't terrible, but without knowing who's playing, what the score is, etc... it's kinda mute.

I'll speak to the guys when I get there shortly and see what's up with it.

many thx

excellent event yesterday. it was almost an honour to be so soundly whooped by everyone (especially toros). thanks for the invite - we'll hopefully be back another time when we can actually play.

final: l'equipe (geneva-suisse) vs malice (london) 5:3

More photos from today going up to this set now...

Thanks to all involved for making it such a fantastic event!

Just such a superb event. A credit to everyone involved. And as for Malice: you were bloody awesome and played your hearts out today. Those last two games had everything a hollywood blockbuster needs.

I'm too knackered to party on. Have fun tonight.

Amazing day, incredible play and top heckles.

Thank you x

some fantastic games, good atmosphere and a nice chicken burger

thanks to the organisers/volunteers/players

Special mention to the volunteers and refs, it was clear from the lack of incidents that you all did a great job.

Oh, and that Malice vs L'equipe game was ace.

Dear god, i just saw this! Gergh! :)

and wtf David where were you?!

miss today!!!
who won???!!!!!!!

L'equipe! L'equipe! L'equipe!

Amazing day. Made the trip down from Cambridge both days, awesome time.

Great event!

To all the players, volunteers and organisers of the EHBPC, thank you so much for an absolutely awesome weekend. This has been a truly momentous and life-affirming event. Big love to you all x
Polo 4 life!

Thank you for everyone who helped make this weekend an amazing weekend of polo (despite not playing a game), I only really saw the last games but wow they were intense, it was so exciting to watch.

Props to players, organisers, volunteers, spectators, sponsers and the rest of you that made this great. Bring on the throw ins!

is there a re-cap of placings/match-ups for quarters, semis,etc...
NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!!!

Oh man, Brian! I can't put into words, you should have been there! ;)

First batch of shots (most of them)

Bummers! :D

That was just so brilliant. As I've kept telling everyone throughout the evening, the Malice-Toros semifinal tipped me over completely. That game had everything--all the drama anyone could think of. The own goal, Matt's exploding tyre (twice), confusion after the second tyre burst that allowed Toros to score their second goal for 3-2, and more drama and thrills than in any of the other games I watched. Beautiful goals and so much commitment and passion. It was wonderful and all the players should be very proud of themselves. Quite apart from that, there were so many interesting games that quite often I wanted to watch both courts at the same time. Loved it!

fucking epic. great weekend. thanks all from netto.

Absolutely superb.

just as little information from the online-visitor site:
the streaming company was a fuck. i thought they have experience in that!?
they've started to late, sends a lot of advertisment and really stupid jingle- and eurodance-music, a lot of off airs and sound problems. and it was hard to know who's playing, what's the score, who wins, who's in the next round and what's the current round.
but the chat was funny. some guys from spain, suisse, germany and from the us. the us boys wanted to chat with kev, the owner of bikepolo.ca which was playing with a french team, but mr. sunshine, the guy behind the camera was all the time overstrained.

and now geneva wons the third tournament this year!

Fantastic day yesterday... Congrats to all that organised and were involved, it was spectacular... So who won? I had to duck out early, had a bit of a funny turn... :S

Totally ace.

I had this great plan to get drunk and tell Knog exactly what I thought of their marketing campaign, and I accomplished 50% of my mission perfectly.


I got drunk.

i am sunburnt :( and exhausted. i didn't even play.

Amazing day... Have never really properly watched a game and i spent 8 hours courtside totally mesmerised by the skills of the payers. Need to start playing this game. Malice rock.. should have won....

It was really a sweet weekend thanks for all the hard work !

What a weekend !
Thanks to Roxy, Bill and Ray and everyone involved in putting on such a brilliant event .
We were lucky enough to play both L"Equipe and Malice in the earlier stages and you knew it would be a heart stopping final but there was no preparation for the intense drama . Had so much fun, see you all again soon

superb day on sunday, have to says it the first time I've really been to watch polo and me and my missus we're both amazed by the skill and strength going on in the games yesterday, superb event, players, drama and atmosphere from all the crowd!

btw did anyone see a kid about 13 busting trix by the entrance, bar spins and riding backwards? the kids going to be amazing if he keeps it up...

brilliant day yesterday
much respect to all the organisers and helpers who made the day go like clockwork
some epic matches great support for the london teams
well done all
watch out for a sudden swell in newcomers seemed like the newbies games went well

Well done L'equipe! on winning & Team Malice for playing some of the best polo in the tournament.

Well done Roxy on organizing such a great event, Ray & Bill for refereeing all weekend & all other goal refs & volunteers who made it work so smoothly.

Bright times

What an amazing weekend of polo... im absolutely shattered. Back to back amazing games on sat as well as sun. Sunday was probably my favourite day...obviously, but only realised this morning i reffed over 28games in a row yesterday...harsh.

I truely would like to thank all the organisers, volunteers and my boys/girls who reffed during the weekend, you guys stayed consistent and were there at exactly the right time. Having to be the guy who has the final say was alot easier with the quality of play and sportsmanship. having probably reffed over 80 games this weekend... The final 8 games for me had it all!

Much love to the boys and girls who were there courtside. Bill, rob, james, dan, james, B, Jol, eggy, Turd, jonny, jo, ali, ally, Aram, Brailey you guys were awesome!oh fuck and the most amazing whips!!!!!! Thanks you guys were brilliant!
