There were still remarkably few upsets, and those that did happen went some way to justifying the choice of format: Poco beat Clapham 2 by the one handicap point, Druids beat Sharks by the one handicap point and Clapham 2 beat Clapham 1 by the one handicap point. It was fun to try something different, and everyone seemed to enjoy the chance to play all the other teams as a grand finale to the Winter League series - but I'm not sure handicapping is anything anyone should consider in a more serious tournament. There followed a very amusing Fantasy Final with 3 players from each team battling it out to win beer for their teams. Lewis from the Druids was unanimously voted MVP for his constant scubas and trick catches (only some of which came off it must be said..), but Lee Noble was more consistent and must have won at least 2 cases of Rolling Rock on his own for TeamShark to polish off. The Least Valuable Player award was specially invented and awarded after a particularly awful performance to Guy Bowles of Clapham. How we laughed ;-) There was supposed to be a spirit award but every team was obviously so torn about who to give it to that noone submitted a vote. So we all won in the end :-) Thanks very much everyone who helped tidy the pitches at the end, and to everyone who's helped in any way at all over the winter, even if only to offer advice or opinions on formats or seeding. The whole series (5 one-day tournaments) seems to have been a very successful experiment that it would be great to run again next year, especially if we could get the Division 2 running more effectively with a few more teams. All the teams present have definitely improved over the winter and seemed to relish the chance to keep playing competitive disk. Maybe next year there could be a Northern League as well and the top teams from each could meet in a spring SuperBowl? FOUND: One light brown Cahart t-shirt - let me know if it's yours.

It's an irreplacable piece of team kit and I'd really appreciate any information leading to it's recovery. Please. Pretty please. It smells, I love it more than you, please help us be reunited.
