Did you make it home in time? (Sorry, but somebody had to say it...)
For those that don't know, Tour IV in Southampton this weekend saw some
interesting results and a change in fortune for many of the top teams...
Results:
1 UTI
2 Catch 22
3 Chevron Action Flash
4 Shotgun
5 First Touch
6 Fluid Druids
7 Red
8 Headrush
Chevron disposed of Druids in the Saturday pool in the usual Chevvy vs
Druids style (no matter who the victors, it's a never close in the
scoreline!) putting Druids into 5-12. UTI, Catch 22 and Shotgun finished
top of their pools, as expected.
Catch 22 caused the semifinal upset by defeating Shotgun (so, Si Hill,
how do you feel about being home this weekend?). UTI defeated Chevvy.
Druids defeated Blue Arse Flies, and met Headrush. It was close, almost
too close, Druids winning sudden-death. This game appeared t take it's
toll on both teams, Headrush falling to Red, and Druids loosing another
sudden-death, this time vs First Touch, who are quite succesfully taking
the Tour one step at a time and moving ever upwards...
Meanwhile, Chevvy took on Shotgun in the 3/4 playoff, and proved that
their recent narrow defeats in this match-up were actually progress
towards victory
The Catch 22 vs UTI final was impressive, Guy Bowles earning MVP for a
fine set of layouts in the first half. Catch never seemed to quite get
the momentum going to overtake UTI in the scoring, though a run of 4 (or
so) in the second half made the predicted result a little less certain.
Final score, UTI 21-17 Catch 22 (I think!)
Spirit of the Game was awarded to Sneeekys.
The weather: seemed unsettled on Saturday morning, fitful attempts to
rain finally gave way to scorching sunshine. Quite a few teams appeared
to suffer from the heat, looking sluggish in their movement. The
pitchside water-containers proved invaluable
Hopefully we'll get some more info about the rest from someone who was
paying more atention to that part of the competition...

Fluid Druids
PS: Will/Tim - I need the full listing of final placings, and the spirit
votes (which teams got how many votes, and which teams didn't vote) ASAP
so that I can update rankings, spirit lists, etc. Seems the heat addled
my brain and I forgot to even mention it to you, let alone collect them!
