Both teams used their wealth of disc skills to battle and score against zone defences as well as an extremely testing wind. Long hucks with the wind were proving to be an important feature of the match to gain territorial advantage even at the expense of possession, but scoring with the wind seemed almost as tricky as playing against it! My congratulations to both teams for providing such an excellent display and a special 'well done' to the pre-tournament underdogs who came out victorious 10-8 after the time cap ... 1 Twin Peaks 2 Bliss In addition to the Women's Division, there was also an Open Division final on a neighbouring pitch, but I don't know the score in that game. It featured the reigning National Champions (and newly crowned Southeast Regional Champions) Shotgun (London) against the current Southwest Regional Champions, Fluid Druids (Cardiff). More reports will doubtless follow .. Sam from Stan.
