The weather was crap, six teams pulled out in the last week (four of which did not bother to inform us of this) and we were let down by some of the facilities. We're sorry for all of that, and hope it didn't affect your enjoyment too much. Now on to a 'brief' report and the results. In the top 8, Catch 22 finally record a win over UTI to win their pool. Druids dramatically lose in sudden death to Chevron having lead 8-3 at half time condemning them to 5-12. In the 9-16 pools, Sneeekys win their pool with some ease, and are joined by Superfly in the 5-12 battle. Blue Arse Flies and red Shift join them from the other pool. The lower pools produce a few upsets with Red II (seeded bottom) winning all their games except for the automatic loss against pool favourites Strange Blue (Sorry Wayne, you were probably right to question the schedule there). On reflection, Red felt they wouldn't have beaten Blue, but probably deserved the opportunity. The other lower pool was much tougher with a three way tie at the top between Uriel, Pookas and Night Fever. Uriel miss out due to goal difference. Sunday morning, and the weather deteriorated rapidly. Gales and driving rain. Druids clinically dispatch Sneeekys and Superfly, and then beat Headrush 15-10 to win the Shield. Strange Blue continue their form beating GB Juniors and Janitors 15-2 (Did they concede more than 2 before the plate final?) and finally have a close game where they beat Skunks 9-7. Down in the bottom 6, Uriel dominate beating their closest rivals Picnic 15-1 (in what was effectively the final). In the top 4, UTI crush Shotgun 21-7, and Catch beat Chevron 21-12 (it was close till 7-7). Shotgun concede 3rd place to Chevron knowing that Catch 'only' have to beat UTI again to take 2nd in the tour, and 2nd seeding at nationals. Anyone who saw the whole of the final, feel free to write a report. From what I saw, it was very close to about 8-8, then UTI pulled out a four point lead which Catch reduced to 2 occasionally, and then let it slip to 4 again. UTI win 21-18. In the women's division, Fandango wide wheels and Fierce dominated, and met each other last (effectively the final). Very close all the way until Fandango won 11-8. Spirit of the game went to Organics in the women's division, and to Sneeekys in the open. Thanks to everyone that played this weekend. I didn't hear any complaints from teams playing 3 in a row on Sunday (which is what had to be done to be finished early). Hope those that wanted to see the football did. Thanks to UTI and Catch for playing a full game which most people stayed to watch. Thanks to Jennie, Jo and all the others for working so hard. Thanks to Wayne, Si Hill and the rest of the U8 committee for their work all year. Final placings.
