The Semifinals Commence!
The Semifinals commenced this week with some different than expected matchups.
The Fraternal Order of Red played against 2nd/3rd placers
Hammerheads due to confusion with the team rankings. The Hammerheads had to start off their game without team captain Matt Esser who was off fraternising with other sporting codes for the first hour. The arrival of this ultimate dynamo came too late however with a comeback bringing the final score to The Fraternal Order of Red 13 def. Hammerheads 6. Good luck to the team powerhouse
Redcoats in the final.
A handblock from Katie "Eugoogley" Gilluly on Simon "Bob Fossil" Urquhart shook up the big zookeeper pretty good in the later stages of the game. However the dominant display by Simon's team of "Racist Dropbears" made sure to keep the not-so-white Pink Panthers from entering their Zoo...
Bob Fossil - great guy
to move ahead to the finals.
The game everyone was looking forward to on this finals night was the
wooden spoon game of
The Last Surviving Dragons against the wooden spoon minor premiership team
The Savages. The Last Surviving Dragons showed up late numbering only five or so minus their captain Matt De Witt who's still off living the dream (ie. not being in Townsville). Meanwhile The Savages surely shook them to the core with their full squad looking pretty intense during a number of warm-up drills. Alas the organisation was to end so soon with the fateful decision to hand over their two superstars 6 foot something-taller-than-most-people
Adrian Sullivan and
Cody "Quick Hands" Hall to provide numbers and apparently even up the game.
The Savages got off to a dominant start scoring a number of quick points and taking the lead which they held for most of the game.
For many of the points the whole team was playing their part helping them to victory while the dragons looked decidedly pick-up-y. The Dragons got their scramble on and took things back with
little Matty and southern ring-in
Sara Cargill utelising their team and throwing lots of things including a few frisbees to
Heather in the endzone for some goals.
Now realising there was a chance they could win a prize this year, albeit the wooden spoon,
The Savages were torn apart to go down in history as one of the greatest frisbee teams ever!!!
Steve Jamieson has now been on the wooden spoon team both semesters he's played in Townsville. Thank god he will be leaving Townsville in a week or 2, I'm sure this is the same reason he had to leave Adelaide. Good luck though Steve, maybe next time your luck slash frisbee skills will improve.
The Last Surviving Dragons 13 def The Savages 11 (Wooden Spoon winners Semester 2, 2009)
