Wednesday, April 8th Our 70th Game on the Blog

Time Flies. More games to be played. More fun. And more amazing bicycle action.

I am writing this on Easter Sunday. A time to reflect and measure our existence. I am hoping that everyone is well and has a HAPPY EASTER !!

Game number 70....What a night. Mailman Jay's team ruled. The combo of Jay, MiniMike and Tracy's defence is very hard to beat. 3 games played and I was the only one to fall. A blocked shot at the goal and sacrifice the 58 year old body at the same time. Damn it.

Thanks guys for coming. Bike polo on the grass rocks. You Hardcourt polo players are always welcome. Marco, Dave, Chris, bring it !

Team#1 Mailman Jay, MiniMike, Tracy, Adam and Me

Don't forget April 25th@ Perry Park. 9:30am. AZ. HARDCOURT POLO GAMES

Triple Elimination. Should be fun.

Wednesday April Fool's 2009 4 Sweet Games

Sorry I havn't been doing my job lately, keeping up with weekly games. I have no excuse. Some do read it weekly, so I apologise for that. We have played every Wed. though, and have had some really great games. MiniMike is riding his bike from 59th Ave and Camelback to the polo park ( apr. 10 mi ) Some of us wish he would stay home. Crazy, crazy scoring at will. His moves at the goal line and mid field speed leaves you scratching your head. What the ?

This Wednesday was no different. Six people showed up and 4 games played. Troy and Mailman Jay dominated the field. The long bomb, high flyin picks and frequent passing kept MiniMike at bay. Hell, Troy and Jay even made me look good once.

Team#1 Jay, Troy, and Me

Team#2 Mike T., Tracy and MiniMike

All the Piranha and Mooky taking AMS testing this week and will be back next week.

Only a couple more weeks and "Lefty" Ken will be here to play.

Got a spankin tonight. Never ever put Troy and Mailman Jay on the same team. It was a lesson in humility. With their dribbling skills, speed, accuracy and ability to be be everywhere, it was not pretty for us.

3 on 4...and we had the 4. Second game, Mailman Jay suggested we divide teams differently. (It was that obvious) But we puffed up and said no, revenge will be sweet. Yea right. School was in session. We even named a shot in their honor. The "Mailman". A high lifted ball, center goal, untouchable.

Tracy was our star. She comes alive with the pressure. I had my famous lifted shot blocked at least three times by Jay, once using his head. Crazy !

With all that said, we had a great time, and had brews at the 'Ol Armadillo Grill after. Where are ya "Scorch" when we need ya?

Team#1: Troy, Mailman Jay, Piranha#1

Team#2: Tracy, Mike T., Mooky and Me

Looking forward to April 15th. An old Veteran lefty player my come to play. Stay in touch Ken Green and Semper Fi !

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009 Polo and Man Pain

Damn it that hurts. MiniMike was being pursued by Mt and Troy at mach one, and someone got tripped up and MiniMike went down on the top tube, floppin around like a fish outta water. Damn that top tube. Ooooooh.Ooooh. We all felt it. Piranha #2 (his little brother) said with an evil little smile "hurts don't it?" MiniMike rested for less than 5 minutes, and right back on the bike.

Piranha#1(Jacob) also crashed and had the 'ol wind knocked out of him. Early lessons for a 10 year old. Rested for 5 minutes and right back on the bike.

We had a great evening of hard bike polo. 5 on 4...good teams, 3 good games.

Team#1.Jay, Piranha#2, Piranha#3, MiniMike and Me

It's always a sweet deal when so many show up. Playing at night can be tricky, but we seem to have a twisted sense of each other, and avoid T-Bones or otherwise serious crashes. The Piranha boys were at their best. #2 dribbled and scored a few times. Maybe next time Troy...Sometimes ya got it , and sometimes ya don't. Gooood Gamin'

Jim, Curly, Scorch, Missed ya ! You too Tracy.

Team #1: Jay, Tommy, MT, Adam and Me

Team #2: Troy, MiniMike, Piranha#1, Piranha #2 and Matt

See ya Wed. March 4th at 7 pm sharp
