WE QUALIFIED!!!! Wohoo!!

We played both Exeter 1 and Exeter 3 (Exeter being last years champions in our class

) so needless to say we didn't think we had much chance!

We beat Exeter 1 (our first game) 2:1 and it actually felt quite easy! It was a really nice flowing game, got some fantastic ride offs, one of which I nearly came off at at the 2 horses reins, bits and out sticks got a little tangles

but it felt great!

To qualify after that win all we needed to do was beat Exeter 3 or Exeter 1 had to be knocked out in their second game - which they were so that eased the pressure as we were through with 1 game to play!

Then we played Exeter 3 who won 1:0 on a penalty! Grr! And that game was horrible - very stop-start, not flowing and the ball seemed to end up stuck between 6 horses legs and not going very far.

BUT the grin on my face is stretched from ear to ear!! I had the most fantastic day, a huge amount of fun and the bonus was qualifying for the National Final

Not when I tell you that 15 minutes of play today cost me £100!!! And that doesn't include the £175 I'll have spent in 3 weeks on lessons! Once this weekend is over I am putting some extra hours at work and taking a few weeks out to help recoup my bank balance!

Ah BUSA

I don't think I've ever had such a bad hang over (too much free booze....).

Is it still at Inglesham? Of course in my day there weren't any qualifiers as there were not that many teams.
 
No, this one was at the Hand EC (clevedon) and the champs are at our club, Longdole! We have the players party next Friday which should be fun - not looking forward to playing on Sat though!
