Title: Ladies Polo League, Longford - 28th-29th July
Post by: Maryanne on June 05, 2012, 22:53:07
Hello all,

The NCPC (polo committee) is running a Ladies Div at the Longford club champs this year, July 28th & 29th. I know UCD didn't have a girls team at the Ladies Day in Phibsborough, but I saw some girls playing on the Sat (and in Galway this weekend) so why not consider this comp too. As I was saying at the weekend... ;) Longford was definitely a social highlight of last year's polo calendar (playground, BBQ and pub right beside pitches! what more do you want) so please consider getting a team together. If you need any extra players or just info feel free to get in touch. The closing date for entries isn't set yet but I'm looking for an estimate of team numbers by the end of this month :) Also there will be the usual divs so you can enter a mixed team too.

-Ann-Marie Creaven

So, who's up for some polo that weekend? Sounds like some craic!

Maryanne?
Helena
Marie
Jean
Derv
Ellen
Diarmuid ( pending gender verification)

Ah, you'll be busy so!

I'm up for this, assuming nothing crazy comes up in the meantime, but it'd have to be very crazy since it's on at a weekend and shouldn't clash with any hypothetical working.

So, to the best of my knowledge, I'm in! And would apply for the car, which would mean I could give 3-4 people lifts.

Did you have to laugh at loads of dad jokes? Maybe, make a few? I hope your not too scarred.
On behalf of the club, thank you for your selflessness at this time.
(Yay! Great stuff!)

So who else is interested?

The Ladies league will probably just be run on the Sunday, but I would suggest staying for the whole thing as it'll be deadly craic!

I'll be putting the entry in tomorrow, so please confirm asap. There's a new post about to be put up too about the DIV.3 entry which will have a bit more info - have a looksie over there.

the other thing is, that if two or more women are registered on both the ladies team and a mixed team then both teams get reduced registration, so if ye wanna register me and someone else (maryanne?) in both teams (and we wont even have to play on the mixed one if theres enough people) then we could save a few quids....
