Crunching tackles, clever runs, unbelievable tries and insane drop goals. We love the raw unpredictability, aggressiveness and intensity of the rugby pitch. But those things aren’t always as much fun off the pitch. It’s tough to have a steady game plan for life when things change or don’t work out. We want to ‘make it’ and live exciting and enjoyable lives. But there are always opponents and problems getting in the way of that try line.

  • Will It Be UK World Cup Glory in 2011? Submitted By: Lily Pad PR Tuesday, 24 August 2010
    Will it be UK World Cup glory in 2011? Submitted by: Lily Pad PR Tuesday, 24 August 2010 August bank holiday weekend will see horse trailers in their hundreds arrive in Warwickshire, along with a crowd of unpretentious, young, attractive and exceptionally fit sports men and women competing on behalf of their club in the national championships. This is Polocrosse - the up and coming horse sport, huge in Australia and without question on its way up here. A cross between Polo and Lacrosse, Polocrosse is played outside, on horseback. Each rider uses a stick with a net to carry, throw and catch the rubber ball. The objective is to score goals by throwing the ball between your opponent's goal posts. A team consists of six players, divided into two sets of three who play alternate ‘chukkas’ of a maximum of eight minutes each. Six or eight chukkas make up a full match. The three players in each section play the positions of a No. 1 "attack", a No. 2 "centre", or a No. 3 "defence". Around in the UK since the 80’s, there’s no ‘30 years of hurt’ as far as Polocrosse is concerned – we’re actually quite good at it. Next year the UK will host the Polocrosse 2011 World Cup – eight nations competing for World Cup glory. According to Iain Heaton from the UK Polocrosse Association, it will be a closely fought fight for the top spot, “There are four teams leading the pack in International Polocrosse – the UK, South Africa, Australia and Zimbabwe. We stand as good a chance as any of taking the Cup although our biggest rival is probably Australia which has an exceptional World Cup team for 2011.
