Grade A Polo Comp in Auckland

Finally I got to see Division 1 New Zealand style, playing in the Ladies Division with the two Mels, Vish, Phoebe and Toni. The kiwi women are pretty big, but of course, we are the smallest team (sounds familiar) in the division! Those girls come and hit you hard too! Gave me a bit of a wake up call. We won our first game, which apparently is quite unusual for the Auckland womens team, so that was a good start. While our play improved over the weekend, the results didn’t and unfortunately we ended up last in the division of 6 teams due to goal difference as the team we beat managed to beat another team.

There was a mens team from the club also playing in the open division. They managed to do very well indeed contrary to expectations and came 3rd out of the 8 teams.

It was great to be finished early and not have to travel too far to get home - 1 hour is quite a different story to 8!
