Arden Results

Well another fantastic tournament organised by Arden, with a total of 205 players! The live entertainment on Saturday night (and into the early hours of Sunday morning!) was a particular highlight.

With the exception of A grade, Kent put out a team or section in every division. In fact, we fielded two C grade teams. Well done to everybody - you all played really well. Particular mention must go to Tom Witchell who got best no. 3 in the B grade, Katie Marsh for best no. 3 in E grade, and the D Graders who were runners up, after a very close match against Solent which could have gone either way!

Teams for Arden!

Good luck to everyone!

Solent Tournament Cancelled. Practice instead.

I'm afraid that we've just heard that Solent has been cancelled due to lack of entries (largely due to the requirement for up to date flu and tet jabs). Apologies to those who were planning on going... Will leave Mikey to advise if there will be a practice that weekend.

Yes there should be a practice then. It will be the weekend before Arden.

Welsh Dragon Results

Congratulations to both our teams for their efforts at Usk!

Team 1 (the B Graders) won both their games on Saturday and then had a tough game on Sunday against Solent which they won! Congratulations to Sammy Rowden for winning Best Horse/Rider Combination.

Team 2 (the C/D Graders) weren't so lucky, but played some excellent polocrosse and visibly improved throughout the weekend.

Thanks go to Kim Lampard, Captain of the B side, who provided some worthwhile coaching and tips!
