Week 4 Reviews

Game 1 - Huck Buddies vs The Dream Team Feat. Weise

FINALLY! Phipps' notoriously powerful flicks are actually an asset rather than a liability! The Dream Team put on a cup to force errors from Huck Buddies' handlers. Dom and Tonje were placed in the cup all night and they stepped up magnificently. Once again, Eric showed his value to his team by dropping his fair share, unable to react to the pressure.

The first half was a battle, but The Dream Team managed to take it. The first point after half time went for about 20 minutes at least, with some crazy defence seen and some interesting offensive decisions being made. Huck Buddies eventually won that point, but The Dream Team steadied the ship a bit and managed to bounce the disc around Huck Buddies' cup effectively. Eventually The Dream Team took the win thanks to Grace who went on a scoring spree in the second half. Huck Buddies captain Joe managed to play on despite suffering from a knee injury so let's give him some props for that.

Final score: The Dream Team beat Huck Buddies 13-2

Game 2 - Phantasm vs Green Street Elite

I'll bet GSE captain walked into this match feeling all confident and thinking to himself "these are just like the playing conditions down in Wellington!" Well guess what, he was right. Phantasm came out struggling a little throwing in the wind and that allowed GSE to grab an early lead. However, Phantasm manged to rally under the pressure and close the gap to just one point before half-time. GSE came out in the second half with a different strategy, switching to man defense, which confused Phantasm a little; enough for GSE to race to a victory.

Final score: Green Street Elite beat Phantasm 13-8.

Game 3 - # YOLO vs Pancakes


The Bob and Mansauce connection continued this week against the "Greatest Short Stack" in the game. When they were on the field together they were unstoppable but Pancakes managed to score every time one of them took a point of which is tremendous effort. It is starting to look like #YOLO are the team to beat this semester.

Final score: #YOLO beat Pancakes and Jazzy's short stack 13-7.

Game 4 - Ducks Tie Together vs Pinky and the Brain

Both teams were missing their captains this week but it was Pinky and the Brain that managed to step up with brush the Ducks aside with a blowout victory.

Final score: Pinky and the Brain take this one 13-2.

Game 5 - Firetrucking Red Team vs Robust Fawn

Robust Fawn came out strong leading the first half all the way at 5-1 before swapping back and forth to a 7-3 half. The wind didn't seem to be affecting Christian at all and the excellent gelling of the orange side was hitting hard for red who couldn't make a connecting pass. Robust Fawn thought they had it, however the Firetrucks decided "HELL NO" and dug in to give them a run for their money. Second half saw a patient red offense that ran the orange cup around in circles. Robust Fawn managed to tie it at 11-11 for universe point but the Firetrucks were the ones who crossed the finish line for a victory.

Final score: Firetrucking Red Team beats Robust Fawn 12-11.
