We at Catch didn't just wake up one morning and find that we were winning more games than we used to. It took alot of committment from all the boys in Leeds with OUTDOOR practises regardless of the weather, and a true desire to get somewhere in Ultimate much like Jedi are doing now. The examples are numerous, perhaps best exemplified by Gun. They have practises at all times and are thus the best team in the country. And for those student teams that say well we can't practise during the summer, well maybe you use the phone spend some money and time to travel and organise a practice yourselves, there is no law stating that student teams have to practise during term time. I think that the tour worked very well this year and is definately the way ahead for ultimate in the country, but obviously it has to be supported by individual teams putting the effort to get somewhere. Nothing that the BUF come up with is going to make teams improve without any effort Just my little piece Christian Catch
