The weather decided not to be too friendly on the Saturday with frequent drizzel and light but gusty winds, however Sunday everything changed and there was nothing but glorious sunshine. The top 4 seeds all came top of thier pools, with only one unexpected results occuring lower down in the pools, Bears dropping from 6th to 14th. Mythago drew the short straw and played Catch 22 for their Semi final on Sunday, losing 17-10. The second Semi saw Skunks 1 and Mohawks battle things out, Skunks got a bad scare early on as the Mohawks took a quick 3-0 lead. After a quick tactical rethink the Skunks pulled back and took the lead. In the end SKunks held onto the lead to win 12-9 or 12-10. All in all it was an excellent game. 3rd 4th play off seemed a formality when Mythago took a 6 point lead, then things went wrong and Mohawks picked up there game to really pressure Mythago, bring the score to about 7-9 to Mythago. The game capped and Mythago won in the end, but only by a point or so I recall. The final, hmmm, well played Catch. Catch 22 certainly outclassed the Skunks, but if only the Skunks could have over come their historical inability to move the disc 2 yards over a single white line the score line could have been a lot closer. The major advantage to Catch was their long game, with many of their points being scored with the quick break on turnover and huck up field to a well positioned player. I think it is safe to say that the final was very well spirited, all calls sorted quickly and fairly. Skunks suffered a bit when 2 of our players hit heads resulting in a lot of blood, an ambulance, and no subs. But for all those interested, Byron "Mincer" Stevens is fine and has a little bald patch with 5 stitches, whilst Rich has to wear a big Sticky Patch on his chin for the week. Final Placings Were: 1 - Catch 22 2 - Skunks 1 3 - Mythago 4 - Mohawks 5 - Ow! (plate) 6 - Sneeekys 7 - Jedi 1 8 - Purple Haze 9 - Phat Ed's (spirit) 10- Disciples 11- Uriel 12- Fingers 6 13- Picnic (spoon) 14- Bears 15- Mwnci See - Jedi 2 17- Jesters/Hint of Lime Combination 18- Skunks 2 plus pickups Well played everyone, and unfortunately I won't see you next year as this was my last Student Tournament.
