I was just wondering, I know, I will stop now.:)
But Bombadas is a div 2 team, now dropped to div 3 for the open??? Why? :confused:

[niall]

Any news on the camping yet? Just wondering. Looking forward to a good party. Is anything organised for Saturday night or is it a just a standard booze up?:p

[Tom]

On the camping we have secured the local rugby grounds 10 mins walk from O'Keeffes out the maynooth road.

Tom

[niall]

!0 mins away?!?!?!?? Is the a taxi service?:D

[Tom]

There is a local taxi service availible for those who will not be able to walk back on saturday night (taxi at your own expense though)

[Tom]

We have secured the local rugby club for camping. Shower facilities will be availible here also. There will be a charge of € 20 per tent for the weekend to cover costs of hire.

Is it possible to camp there the whole weekend??? We're coming in on friday and we're flying back on monday, so we need to stay on sunday evening as well.

Hello all

Thanks lads and lasses, it was a blinder of a weekend. Thank to the sharks for letting me play, sorry we could have won dive 3 but it was good fun. As special mention to the extreme queens (sorry queen extreme).

:thumbup:

so take care and have fun

[keith]

simonB is right. It was a brilliant weekend.

And we could have won div 3 ;)

Thanks to everyone involved for organising the weekend, and thanks to niall for putting together the team.

It was a great first competition.

[niall]

I also had a great weekend. I had a great time, a great team and most importantly a great drink.:p

For Sharks - I now realise that Green star didn't pay me enough.

Rest of Div 3 - Thanks for the great games!

[niall]

It is I again!
Just reading the booklet with the rules and events for last weekend and I have a question, Did anyone see that disco tent? And on a more serious note, there is a section on boat crunching. If you crunch you get a yellow card. Now I was crunched as well (before anyone starts to bitch at me) but should that not read as crunching from an illegal tackle??? Or was it just a comp special rule or is that a rule under ICF?


PS: Please excuse my ignorance on this matter

[Martijn]

Niall...

You must have been to drunk !! There was a superb party in the big tent with lot's of beautiful women and great music !! And Beer of course....

But I'm pretty sure I didn't see you anywhere near the tent... maybe they kept you away from the party on purpose ?? :eek:

I did hear some boats screaming under the pressure of the nose of another one... But I didn't see any yellow cards..
My boat is a little damaged... but it wasn't any good anyway.. but according to what it said in the booklet.. it should have been yellow...

For the rest it was a very nice tournament... with pretty friendly players !!

grtz

[niall]

But of course the kasestadt boy's found the tent with all the women and free booze!:D
Not fair, I probably wouldn't have enjoyed that tent anyway:silly:

I was just asking about the yellow card rule as I have not seen it before. Is that also the case in the Nederland? Yellow cards for crunch's?

[Paul Costerus]

The competition was great!
It was ****in great to play other polo teams than we always do in holland...
((the weather did help to...)):cool:

See ya next year, Paul
