Went down to Cambridge today to spectate at the BikePolo tournament - about 20 teams from all over the UK, and one from Karlsruhe.
'Tis a brutal game
Wheel discs keep balls & mallets out of the spokes:
"3...2...1...POLO!" signals the start, and players race from their goal line to get the ball first
Gurls take on the guys and are just as 'ard.
3 players per team. one usually guards the goal. Dabbing a foot means you have to ring a bell on the centre-line before taking an active part in the game again.
A
neat dirty trick is to yank the keeper's mallet away so he falls to the ground
The skills and courage of all the players was awesome.
But eventually someone tumbles
