Title: Polo: Phizzfest Cup 2012 - 1&2nd September
Post by: Douchier on August 16, 2012, 17:51:44
Another home-town competition, catering to all your polo needs.

Takes place on the surprisingly nice Royal Canal in Phibsboro - here (https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=205593700982496396574.0004c4deeb1fab0dffe7f&msa=0&ll=53.357211,-6.300144&spn=0.072228,0.181789&iwloc=0004c63464bb66aba2a40).


I hope to be entering two teams like we did for the Docklands and also a Ladies team if there's enough interest.


You know the drill, sign up here:

Mixed:
Niall B
Cillian
Diarmuid
Helena
Mark
EJO'k
Garbhan
Jean (Saturday only)
Ellen









Porterhouse North is also across the road, for all your import beer and micro-brewery needs.

More of the same from me I'm afraid, I'm going to a Canoeing Ireland four year strategic planning (http://forum.ucdcanoeclub.com/index.php/topic,10810.new.html#new) conference on Saturday morning, then to a huge family bbq for my cousin who's over from America for the first time in two years.

Sorry for pulling out :(

PS Hopefully there'll be time for a night out while he's over, it'd be great of a bunch of you could come! I'll text around once I find out.

Well, it's a pity...but on the other hand it does clear up the numbers issue.

Team updated as above.

so according to canoe ire page on facebook this is actually a one day comp, but on the second day there'll be a blitz where all players are mixed up into different teams and div 1 players are spread equally.... :) sounds like good craic to me! (when we did this in galway it was a great way to learn more polo as well as getting to know way more people too! so dont go backing out of the sunday session!! :)

It looks like there's a lot of free pitch slots, so we can maybe play some practice matches in between?

Timetable (http://canoepolo.com/media/kunena/attachments/4613/PhizzTimetable.xls)

Map (https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=205593700982496396574.0004c4deeb1fab0dffe7f&msa=0&ll=53.289847,-6.803284&spn=1.057342,2.823486&iwloc=0004c63464bb66aba2a40)

As Helena said above, the format has changed:

Saturday:

One day main competition where UCD Supernova will play and gloriously beat the brave but ultimately hopeless opposition.

Sunday:
A mixed blitz competition. Put your names into a hat and they'll make the teams. Goals from Div.1 players are worth 1, from Div.2 players are worth 2 and Div.4 players are worth 4!

If you're interested in the blitz then post up here and I'll let Art know (if you haven't told him already) so that he can make up the the teams.

Team for tomorrow:
Me
Garbhan
Evan
Cillian
Helena
Diarmuid
Ellen
Jean

Players for Sunday:
