Everyone loves playing a few games of polo, so how about a FULL WEEKEND OF POLO!?!?! Do you know what else we love? A massive party in the middle, with loads of other unis!
CUCP is a tournament hosted by Cardiff Uni and brings teams from all across the UK to play in this tournamnet. We will be entering a Div 1, Div 2, Ladies and Old Boys team, with teams to be selected based on attendance to training sessions and performance during sessions.
The weekend starts with everyone driving over on the Firday night to the campsite. Once we have set up tents, the drinking starts! On the Saturday, everyone is up early to start playing games at the nearby reservoir. The tournament starts with a round robin group stage, followed by knockout rounds. Once the days games have been played, we head back to the campsite where food is provided for us. We then party throughout the night and maintain the reputation that Swansea has gained of being the BEST party team. On Sunday, eveyone wakes up early, slightly (or very) hungover, and heads down to the reservoir again to play the remaining games.
The cost of this weekend wil be £30-35 (to be confirmed closer to the time) and this will cover transport, camping, food on the Saturday, partying and of course playing in the tournament. This tournament is a great warm up for Varsity and BUCS and will have a big impact on my decision for teams for these tournaments.
Get hyped people! This is definitely a weekend to look forward to!
