Tournament Report:
The tournament was played on a round-robin format initially, with play-offs 
between 1v2, 3v4 and a three-way pool between 5-7. Games were 25 minutes.
 
Saturday saw some very close games, notably Phat'Eds v Janet Hawes with JH 
winning in sudden death and Squaws v OW! with Squaws winning the crucial final 
point. Team player lateness saw both Bliss and BAF resorting to 4-(wo)man zone, 
both teams succeeding in baffling their opponents with very 'junky' D to clinch 
the top two places at the end of the round-robin. The Bliss v BAF game included 
BAF resorting to playing their joker with a debut performance by a rather ugly 
bearded chick called 'Casey'. After an impressive start she quickly lost form, 
being shown the disc on several occasions thereafter, helping to ensure a Bliss 
victory. 
 
Sunday brought 2 epic battles between OW! and Angels in the space of 3 games, 
the first being the last round-robin game, the second a 5v7 play-off. Both 
games were closely fought with Angels emerging victorious. Both Phat'Eds and 
OW! got revenge for their sudden-death defeats on Saturday, Phat'Eds taking 3rd 
place from Janet Hawes; OW! pipping Squaws to 6th place with a lay-out 'D' from 
junior Carlene which brought enthusiastic applause from the home crowd. 
 
The final saw a rematch between Bliss and BAF (plus 2 pick-ups and a benched 
Casey), filmed by Channel 6 (an Oxford TV channel). 
 
 
Thanks to all the teams that attended. The standard of play improved 
dramatically over the weekend, resulting in hard fought but spirited games 
throughout both days. Congratulations to Squaws on winning spirit - Natalie, 
you would have been proud of them!
 
Looking forward to seeing you all again at women's nationals.
