Week 7 Results

Finally, the end of Round Robins... As you can see from the standings below, the teams are still very even across the board and even 7 games cannot separate a few teams. As the teams are laid out, we can see a few surprises and a few predictions going to plan. However, with the finals coming up each game will be sudden death for most teams.

The first game that kicked off the final game of Round Robins was Blue Sharks and Mad Hatters. The Blue Sharks got off to good start taking out the half 7-5. But the determination (and help of Matt Boevink) in the Mad Hatters kept them going, and they couldn’t be denied their first victory of the season. A great win by the Mad Hatters over the Blue Sharks in Universal point 13-12.

The undefeated Tie Dye Hards took on team Yellow Snow (Plus team plus one) in a game for the ages. With Finny’s winning streak the envy of the Townsville Ultimate Frisbee community Simon was keen to put it to an end. However, Cooper and Lisa’s handling threw an aerial raid and kept them in the contest all the way to the end. But it was no match for Shelby and team plus one, taking out the victory 13-11. Leaving Simon once again going home with a win. Yellow Snow ending the undefeated streak of Tie Dye Hards 13-11.

The Ogres took on AKITD, after the Ogres lost last week they were keen for redemption against AKITD and that’s what they did. The Ogres shut out AKITD allowing them no possession throughout the game. After a mammoth amount of momentum, not even the partnership of Hugh and Amy could refuse the Ogres the victory. The Ogres up 13-6.

In the final game, the Rojo Raptures faced the Purple Cobras. The Purple Cobras got off to a great start and were looking to close this one quickly. However, the switch to Tim and Tom handling and Mike in the back proved to be more effective in offence as the Rojo Raptures mounted an epic fight back. Rojo Raptures over the Purple Cobras 13-10.

As we head into the finals, it is recommended that each team turns up early and gets throws in and warms up. Each team are now aware of every player in their team and their capabilities and it will be great to see which team can handle the pressure. However, it is also important as we head into the more important games of the season that the spirit of the game does not disappear. Though games might mean more, if the fun and spirit is lost, then there is no point in winning. Always remember, that at the end of the season, it is not the amount of points scored in each game we remember, but the friendships and memories we made along the way.

Don’t forget that Frisbee is still on next Wednesday during lecture recess and to bring a light and a dark!

Happy Throwing!
