Pimp My Mallet

Last year Brendan, a London polo player, made a short film that was shown at the Bicycle Film Festival all over the world. And here it is.

Fresh from the editing suite, The Cycle Oxford Festival 2009, including Oxford’s first bike polo tournament.

Wednesday polo at the usual time of 20.15 ish, Currys car park, Botley Road. You’ll be following in the footsteps of these 1958 kids… watch and learn.

Well everyone’s back and recovering from an incredible weekend. Unfortunately Three Less Horse and The Drof Ox Flailer Three were knocked out after the first two games, but The Toffs got pretty far…. maybe amongst the top 16 teams in Europe according to the scoreboard. I think. It’s double elimination, (winner’s bracket on the left, loser’s on the right) which makes interpreting the results slightly confusing. Hopefully EHBPC will publish some official results, in the meantime the top three teams in Europe are:

1. l’Equipe Genève (Geneva, Switzerland)
2. Malice International (London, UK)
3. Poloholics Toros (Munich, Germany)

Here’s some highlights from the tournament, courtesy of Cycle Oxford
