Ok, so I know you’re all waiting for the kickass update on Cirque du Sydney with photos, vids and witty jokes, but running the tournament had precedence over web updates! While I work on this and thanking everyone for such a grand and fantastic weekend, you’ll just have to settle for this killer highlights package [...]
IT’S TIME! Tonight there will be a welcoming party courtside for all the incoming teams. We will have team packs ready, pick-up games and a few little surprises in store to get the polo love flowing. Some players and teams will be down there from 6pm, but we won’t start until after 7pm. Check the [...]
Just a couple of updates for next weekend. We have now completed sorting out all the groups and playing times so please check below for whether your team is in the morning or noon bracket. Morning teams must be at the court for an 8:30 start (don’t worry, there should be a coffee cart at [...]

With a couple of tournaments approaching, many of you have been asking about the best methods for building a mallet. While there is no ‘ultimate’ solution, there have been plenty of new and lighter methods of attaching a mallet head to a shaft in the recent months. First up, here’s a pretty good video put [...]
Sydney Bike Polo held a Australia Day Mix-Up Tournament which produced a great day of polo, drinks and shenanigans. First off, thanks to Virginia for organizing the food and general tournament structure and items! Thanks also to the crowd and friends that turned up to watch and chillax. Unfortunately some of our players had various [...]
Check out the pic of our new trial system of sorting out games for pick-up sessions.
