Boom!
To follow up on the brilliant success of UCD last weekend, there's a polo tournament being held in the Dublin Docklands on the eleventh and twelveth of August.
Again, it's a really nice venue but it won't demand all that travelling and camping, which is nice.
The venue is here. (https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=205593700982496396574.0004c4deeb1fab0dffe7f&msa=0&ll=53.347887,-6.249332&spn=0.00944,0.013797&iwloc=0004c63440bdf068a5bb5)
It's bound to be a great weekend and I'm really looking forward to building on the improvements we've been having.
ALSO if there's enough interest they'll also run a Ladies' league like the one that was run this weekend.
So...who's interested?

:)
-
:( I'm afraid I won't be able to.
My sister and I are going on our 5th annual roadtrip to the west, the date is set to get the trip in before her leaving cert results come out, so I can't move it.
If it was anything less momentus and looked forward to I'd cancel after how deadly last week was.
Only chance is if work refuse to let me have time off on the 13th...

ok, so if we dont get a ladies team together then what me shelly and tara are trying to do is if all the ladies join this group (which you should anyway!) http://www.facebook.com/groups/LadiesCanoePoloIreland/ then the most recent post is just people signing up and well make teams out of whoever wants to play and see how that goes....

Hello!
So, I've got two teams entered.
Neither of them are called the "UCD Stars"
The names are just as crappy though.
So I was thinking...
Helena
Diarmuid
Mark
Me
Lorcan?
Matt
Bill
Garbhann
Evan
Niall F
Cormac "Child-catcher" Roche
So, it's pretty tight for numb ers, as you can see.
What that does mean though is that you get loads of polo-playing experience and get to really grow and develop.
There's the possibility of maybe moving one from the top list to the bottom, obviously depending on what I hear back from Lorcan.
Another possibility is that we could go try find someone else? I'm going to leave it up to you guys whether you want to have that cover or have more game-time. Whauddya reckon?
I haven't gotten a confirmation on start time, but these things usually have their first match at 10.30 and go on until about 4/5. We should have about 6/7 matches over the weekend.
Be there good and early. It really, really messes you up when you're sprinting to get on the water.
have fun

Lols...I believe names have been selected...it was a late night job. The brainstorm was themed around stars and space, many suggestions were made, many mercifully rejected.
I can't remember how it ended. I seem to remember suggesting "UCD Semi-Eclipse"
Here's a thread for future suggestions! (http://forum.ucdcanoeclub.com/index.php/topic,10781.new.html#new)

Are there any details about the tournament anywhere on the web?
EDIT: moved to correct thread
