  1. “Standards Bellington Smith …..where is your stick ? how on earth are going to face the enemies machine guns with out your stick ? you’ve just got 5 extras

  2. “I can’t help thinking that this whole polo thing would be a damned sight more fun if we actually had ponies!”

  3. They hadn’t spoken to Smithers since he had shaved off his moustache, but with Blenkinsop now sporting a cap it was noticeable that team morale had hit a new low.

  4. That awkward moment when you realise that you have turned up for a platoon billiards competition with the wrong gear.

  5. After a night celebrating another match win no one in the team could remember where they’d left the horses!

  6. The Surrey Slouchers were in relaxed form waiting for their next game against the Corinthian Casuals.
