BUSC Canoe Polo

Last weekend we took our anual trip North, up to Doncaster to play in BUSC (British Universities & College Sports) Canoe Polo. We were going as the underdogs with no previous ranking. Everyone had a great time. The sun was out all weekend and everybody enjoyed watching and joining the action. The Open team [Pony Club] came 11th, the Ladies [Polo Panthers] came 10th and the Old Boys [Pie Shop] came 5th.

On the Saturday night we (as always) got the party started.
Polo is a fantastic little sport that is mostly done in a nice warm swimming pool, to get into Canoe Polo you just need to learn the basic kayaking skills then come to our training sessions. We teach it all.

Easter break

We've all been very busy over the easter break. Dissertation deadline, course work and placements have pinned many of us down.
There has been very little rain over the past few months here in the South West and thus unfortunately there has been no rivers to paddle. When it came to the Easter bank holiday I opted for a seakayaking trip, others went to Scotland and many made an obligatory trip home to see their old folks.

After this we concentrated on our Canoe Polo training for the mighty BUCS weekend.
