Week 5 Results

Wow, what a week it has been. Week 5 has brought some of the best Ultimate we have witnessed so far. As each team has progressed, we can start to see how each team plays, their strengths and weaknesses and who their strike players are. After very close games in week 4, Week 5 was looking to be a good one and it did not disappoint. Please note: MVP’s will be kept secret as only I will know.

The Rojo Raptures took on the Mad Hatters in what looked to be a very tight game at the start. With the Mad Hatters not only playing savage, but with a man down as well, their team of 6 was actually leading. However, only time told as they looked to tire down and slip in the second half, with Dave’s team leaving wondering what could’ve been. Though the Mad Hatters should have their heads held high as the return of Bobby Jackson and Ellie Heywood will be in force as of next Wednesday. Look forward to seeing that! Rojo Raptures pull off the great escape, up 13-10.

In the second game, the Blue Sharks were keen to get two wins on the board as they focused on speed to try and work around the unusually tall team of the “lenken” Purple Cobras. With a very quick first half, it was hard to separate both teams, however it was Blue Sharks who came away with the victory by implementing a Zone Force in the second half. The Blue Sharks on two straight wins, up 13-6.

A Knife in the dark were looking to end the Tie Dye Hards unbeaten streak with the duo of Hugh and Aaron, however even with Simon playing it wasn’t to be. The Tie Dye Hards looked sensational and the game turned out to be a cracker. As the Townsville Villain predicted, Universal point it was, with the Tie Dye Hards taking it out, 13-12 in a thriller.

Lastly, the Ogres were looking for revenge against Yellow Snow. With Duncan incredibly tall as usual, the Ogres were keen for some action. However, with Paula out Yellow Snow fell behind in the first half. After a courageous effort by Shelby and a game winning catch by Rob Edmonds, Yellow Snow completed the second half comeback leaving the Ogres wondering “Maybe we need more than matching shirts...” Yellow Snow winners 13-9.

After what was a crazy week on the field, the attention will turn to next weeks games. Being Week 6 next week, there will only be two more games until finals time. This is where all the teams will fine tune their offence and defence as they will be looking to get the best combinations down for their team in order to bring the best for the finals. I wish all the teams the best of luck and how to see you on the field next week, exams or not!
