Space for 4 teams (12 players) was allocated to Australia by the organisers of the World Championships.

At this stage, 9 Australians have recorded an expression of interest in playing.
(This includes some travellers who have been a significant part of polo in Melbourne and Sydney in 2009/2010)

• Tali, Rob & TBD (Melbourne)
• Maija, Lewis & TBD (Sydney)
• Tom, Steve & Dan (Adelaide)
• Damon, Ray & Anthony (Melbourne)

As the deadline of April 30 has now passed, these places have been confirmed.

Australians who have reserved a place but will not be travelling to Berlin should relinguish their place.

Any relinguished places will remain open on a first come first served basis.

The organisers of the worlds may reallocate or absorb any relinguished spaces to other countries between May – August.

Thanks to everyone who came along to the Bike Polo demo at Warburton Cycle Fest yesterday!

We played demo matches between 11am and 2pm and many people had a go at bike polo for the first time, looks like there could be a Healesville-Warburton league in development.

The tournament at 2pm was a 6 team single elimination, played according to normal Melbourne rules with 2 new rules, each team needed a new (and/or/non Melbourne) player, and a team colour.

Congratulations to Team Back in Black! and Jarrod for Most Valuable Player!
