Varsities: Polo
« on: January 31, 2008, 12:47:35 »
If you would like to play polo in Varsities this year please put down your name. We need boys and girls!

We're hoping to bring a ball out this Saturday so people can see how to play, and check if they are any good!

So what your saying is if someone can pass a ball on moving water we will know if they can play polo? Put me down, it's not like it is real paddling.

Okay I can drive down and will bring three other people. Cli are you driving? Ritchie is out of action. A full team is 8, generally 6 guys 2 girls. There are four on the water one of which is a girl. There are two subs in a pen at the end. Personal gear, swim suit, deck and a rash vest or some kind of sleeved top. The reason for this is people used to put vasiline on their shoulders so when someone went to push them over they got vasiline on their hands thus preventing them from picking up the ball. THere should be gear available for borrowing usualy two sets.
I will be heading off afterwards to lahinch and wish you guys the best of luck in the rest of the compitition, which is to get ridiculously drunk and try to score all the other colleges.

They've an olympic standard size pool out in UL but I don't know if that's the one we're using.

Apparently I am now also doing this. I am free all day friday so can go whenever.
