Tom missed, a sign of things to come.

That's it. We're doomed.

Threw away the league at the first opportunity.

Sounds good and will be a pleasure

this thread is awesome, league rules.

i'll probs be down later for cosmic vs whoever.

can goal line if you need. (at the goal with company)

Fuck im really excited. Good luck Cosmic³

back to work catch ya on court then.

Yeah, good luck.

can we have some sort of updated thread about what leagues games are happening where/when.

You're the second one to ask, Dave. I'm going to see if there's a simply way of using the blog to keep them all in order. Or perhaps a shared google calendar account. Or a combo of the two.

I was first to ask Woo!



I know, no polo, no asking.

http://www.londonbikepololeague.com/fixtures/

There's now a calendar. I've added all the people I know who have gmail accounts. If you want access to it (there should be at least one person from every team, I reckon), let me know what your email address is so you can update/add your fixtures.

Massive Cogs Vs Rotten Apples is happening where?

Not West? Surely?

thanks Horatio

hey mark, you coming south tonight?

Countdown to Freedom!

I love the league.

WONA for the first upset of the league!

(Sorry hippie mates -- rooting for the underdog ...)

Cheers chukker,

I think this game could go really quickly or the duration... depends on the boys really got a feeling jono and ali are gonna be on fire. (not litterally)

Cosmic will be rocking their new winter collection tonight.

Countdown to...

polo.

(1hr30mins)

bunch of jazz pussies that cosmic

Great action at this seasons inaugural matches.

So just got back home...epic fixture for us drawing Cosmic.

The first game was a bit slow to start with as we started without playing any throwins. But the game started and we drew first blood. Then it was constant to and throwing of goals at either end each time with us taking the lead. We were scoring lots of funny deflections...then time was called and we had found ourselves in the lead woop! I think the score ended 4-3 to us.

Then a quick 5mins...

And back on court we swapped ends and 321 polo... I think again jono scored the first goal and this like the 3rd game was lots of midcourt and defensive play from us. We were hoping to catch the cosmic boys on the break but we eventually got caught out by some awesome shooting by tom and a bit of a lack of focus from me (whoop, apart from a sneaky goal past MAT.). Final score in game 2 was 4-2? and game 3 was 4-2?? rik/mark will put up the proper scores.

Anyway we had a great time and glad the game started and finished with a happy performance by both teams.

Roll on the next one!!!

R

2-3 4-1 5-1
that's what I got.
Great to get the league started.

Cosmic top of the league, but only just!

Wasn't easy against WONA. Think both teams had a touch of 1st games jitters, but once things settled down some good play was done. Cheers WONA - def a team to watch out for.

Horatio, will you post a brief match report on the league blog?

Can't wait for the next match draw. The leagues only gonna get more fun!

Oops started writing my post before rays, then went to make a tea before submitting!

Ray agree with the feelings of the game, we should have had some throw in games to get warmed up. That 1st game was hard to play straight up. But ray you got the scores all wrong, Todd had them correct. All good fun though. Leagues def gonna be hard work though. Every games gonna feel like final. Will be hard to step up each week. Gonna be some interesting results - some surprises!

Ohh and ray, that goal...it was a one off gift. Well I blame yorgo of course!

when are the next fixtures going to be realise???

any NE crew fancy going to newington tonight? Los Coños vs Sparkle Motion. We could get throw-ins going there too.

in?

yes! cant wait to see the girls trash the west team!

Yeah, lots of support please!

We'll also need a ref for tonight if anyone fancies it? If not Dave can do it.

Seeya later Sparkle Motion.. we're really looking forward to playing you guys tonight and chuffed we drew you in the first fixture. No shit-talk required :)

You MUST get that printed.

1. Gabes XL
2. Sludgy (fuck this...back piece.)

in for today, see you at the court

My hub seized up on the way in this morning. Borrowed tools from Half Pipe (Ladbroke Grove - thanks!) and got it going again. Bearings are pretty wrecked though and it's just a question of when it stops rolling again rather than if. Just called Cycle Surgery in Camden (at work all day now) and they have no cartridge bearings - anyone got any idea where I might be able to get some from around Camden? Or does anyone coming to cheer Los Conos have any or would be able to get any?

thanks.

I don't think people are coming to support just our team!

I'll ask my housemate who works at the London Bicycle Repair Shop to see if he can help...

Great games last night, WONA and Cosmic.

It all felt a bit chaotic and confused in that first game and WONA definitely deserved the 3-2 win.

First half of the second game also belonged to WONA, but Cosmic finally hit their stride and managed to get 4 goals before time.

Final game finished right on the buzzer with Todd scoring a beaut to make it 5-1.

Watch out for WONA. They're already very good, but over the course of this league I reckon they are going improve dramatically, and do some giant killing in the process.

Did I mention I love the league?!

Cheers!! They are 7901 ideally - 24mm outer, 12mm inner and 6mm width. 6901 would work as well.

I guess Brixton would have them since apparently they're the Surly default. Hmmm.

cheers tom. Hopefully we'll get a rematch later on ;)

You guys were just warming up.

and agreed the league is great! ...just happy to be second...for a few hours.

Yep, good fun last night... I think the excitement of going 1-0 up in the second game got to us, Cosmic then hit their stride and ran away with it.

Thanks to Rik, Hassan and fish/chip man for reffing.

threadless.com yo. awesome tee.

Ill be down to watch if you need a goal ref. no throw-ins for me though, gotta rest my busted ribs for sunday...

Match report up. Added a few more people to the gmail calendar thing, but if you haven't sent me your gmail address yet, do it.
