Sunday saw over 50 signups from around the region for a day of fantastic social polo and some ridiculous matches on SUPs and Corricles where the teams appeared to be more interested in sinking the opposition rather than scoring goals.
Well done Chilly for being the key person who organised a great day and thanks to all who helped with the BBQ, setting up the second pitch, taking it down, refereeing and manning the tables.
Nomads deployed their second polo pitch so everyone was always only one match away from being back on the water. This is a great addition to the facilities available at Nomads making us a key polo location in the region.
The day started by creating scratch teams and playing polo in the morning on the two pitches. Players started to arrive from 9am, and we started as soon as we had enough people to play!
People were encouraged to sign up for activities on the sign up sheets attached to clip boards tied to the slide. There were various teams and we ended up with Veterans, Belfast Team, Gents, Ladies, 21-25, U21, Div 3.
