Captain, the Duke of Argyll, said: "To win this is a mammoth task, made more special by the amazing surroundings."

brilliant quote

The Faroe Islands obviously didn't enter a team.

sour grapes I see - you English should push the boundaries of sport like us Scots.  I confidently expect Scotland to be Elephant polo gold medallists in the London Olympics unless of course the bitter English don't allow Elephant polo in the games

Given than the Scots team all train on bicycles, I think they should introduce bicycle polo to the olympics.

BTW, if Elephant polo is a sport, then so is poker!

I am told from a reliable scource that Scotland had a far better quality of Elephant

In my opinion, Poker is a sport. It is a opinion that a lot of top pro's share.

I figure that Poker is a sport that taxes your mental and physical endurance. Playing for 12 -14 hours is pretty taxing.
