I'd just to add my congragulations to UL for putting on an incredible show. This must have been one of the biggest freestyle events in years. The organisation and atmosphere was top notch.

Brilliant job to everyone involved

Yeah lads it was by far the best varsities by a long shot. Lots of banter & good vibes. Thanks for organizing an excellent weekend. 

To those that weren't there, I.T.Blanchardstown beat NUIG in the polo  Tongue out...& it was 4 against 5...lol... But due to the fact we didn't have a girl on our team we got DQ'd. You lads were lucky we didn't have a girl on our team...but we clearly weren't Cry

 

Excellent weekend though Laughing

Just a note not to congratulate NUIG too much!!

As they received walk-over points from ITB in the polo, who were only playing with four players & still won but then got disqualified because they had no female players.

It's funny because with the overall competition ending up so close (1 point between teams),There was a vote to allow ITB to continue! but even having the majority of the votes from captains who showed up, 4 disagreed which was enough to get ITB kicked out. i reakon the QUB captain is really kicking herself for the decesion she made to disqualify ITB. 

Thanks to all competitors, organizers & all who just came along for the craic, great weekend, cant wait for next year!

ps what goes around comes around :P

Ah the congrats here are going to UL, and rightly so. GMIT Galway lost out on the girl issue too don't forget. Best of luck to the UCD hosts next year.
