Last Sunday a Photographer and Journalist came to Polo to interview us. They have put together a great piece on Melbourne Bike Polo and also some of us heading over to Seattle for the Worlds

“In an inner Melbourne suburb, a passionate group of men and women get together every Sunday to do something that many of us know very little about. The sport of hardcourt bike polo may be unknown, but given its growing popularity it seems we may be hearing a lot more of it in the future.”

The full article is here, as is the video part

Here are some of the photos from the recent Melbourne Ultimate Smackdown tournament

Placings
1. Buzzin Hornets (Damon, Leigh, Scott) tied with Los Polo Hermanos (Benee, Joel, Will)
3. El super bastardos (Andrew, Ray, Sam)
4. VIVE LA ROBOLUTION (Rob B, Rob M, Vive)

The final match between Buzzin Hornets and Los Polo Hermanos was one of the finest matches this year. Buzzin Hornets were playing well but Los Polo Hermanos pulled together and were on top form and they were fast. At the ten minute mark, neither side had scored and neither side had advantage. LPH were fast and pounced on all opportunities, the Hornets were tactical and held possession. With the daylight fading at 5pm it was close to the wire and after fifteen minutes Buzzin Hornets sank a goal which was immediately answered by a cracking goal by LPH from half-court. Both teams declared a draw due to lack of light

There were plenty of prizes to go around for Best Costume, Best new player, Best female player, MVP and many more

Here below is a slideshow of the photos I took at the tournament. Please feel free to tag photos or drop comments for the various prizes

Banana Boat Bike Polo

Banana Boat has just signed on as a major sponsor for the whole of NAH (North American Hardcourt). Its the first major sponsorship coming from outside the bike industry and has some pretty major implications if you consider the legitimacy and exposure as well as the financial support it will give to NAH and bike polo as a whole.
