Another great week for Frisbee! The last of the Red Robin rounds were played with a lot of heart, spirit, and intensity. Thank you all for coming out and get psyched for the finals!
The Birds vs Spastic Spunk
SpUnK! 13-10
It was a passionate battle for the coveted position on top, with two very determined teams. Spastic Spunk came out hard, jerking the lead from the start. The Birds scratched and clawed back, squawking up a storm. Their quick feet sliced through Spunk’s zone, giving the Spastics a hard workout. However, Spunk was able to penetrate the endzone just a bit faster than the Birds, making it a 7-5 halftime score for Spunk. In typical, Death-From-Halftime fashion, the Birds focused beady eyes on a comeback, and the game began in earnest. The Birds’ Nick and Steve with handling from Cody ripped through Spunk, catching up to Spunk’s lead. Nick “beard spunk” and Duncan “Shrek spunk” desperately put their bodies on the line to ferociously fend off the Birds; Nick diving and rolling in the dirt as if it were a lost lover and Duncan carving out a crater on the field (no, that was not a stray asteroid). Felix smashed a major D to prevent Spunk from scoring, while Dane grabbed points so fast, Spunk couldn’t even say “squirt.” Bobby “the beast” Jackson had another spasticly-inspired game, sprinting, spunking, scoring, and smacking some discs with a vengeance. On the female side, it was the Birds’ Bekah versus Becca “speedy spunk”, with superb handling from Bekah and quick snatches from Becca. Amy “snazzy spunk” played with her usual ferocity, screaming bloody murder and running all over the place, while Danielle (suffering from whooping cough) kept the Birds spirits high with numerous cheers from the sidelines after almost collapsing mid-game from a cough attack. In the end, there were some seriously spunked-up Birds, and Spunk streaked to their second victory in a row. After the game, the Disc-Hammering Honeys reunited in love, keen to be rivals no longer.
Lascivious LadyFingers vs RedBalls
Balls Deep 13-6
Bananas versus Balls, phallic imagery gone wild; possibly the most hyped game all season. The top two teams were battling it out for the glory of the number 1 seed last week. However, “all winning, all the time” was the only thing on the Balls’ mind. With only two girls, they were forced to play with only six players as they could not fulfill the required 3-4 girl-guy ratio, but that was not going to stop this power-hungry team. At the start of the game, the Balls were shrivelling in fear as the Ladyfingers scored the first point of the game. However, in true Charlie Sheen fashion, the Balls were winning left and right. Scoring 11 points in a row (yes, ELEVEN!), the Balls were on fire, close to finishing the season off with one hell of a climax. The Balls’ six man zone was proving to be more than the Ladyfingers’ seven man offense could handle. Every player played with heart and passion, but none proved to have more balls than Liss and Katie, who yet again played the entire game with no subs. Near the end, however, the bananas started to finally penetrate the Balls, scoring a fair 5 points more before the end of the game. Aside from all the winning, sibling rivalry was ever apparent as Rob skied his big brother Dave in what was later deemed a classic: “Dehollander skies Dehollander!” Although the Ladyfingers were worthy opponents, they simply couldn’t handle the pressure of playing the undefeated and unstoppable RedBalls! It definitely seems like the Balls are, in Charlie Sheen’s words, addicted to winning, and the Ladyfingers just couldn’t bring it this week. Thus the Reign of the Balls continues into the Finals. Can they ever be stopped? Probably not, ‘cuz nobody’s got bigger balls than this team.
The Green Lanterns vs Dye Fast Tie Furious
Green Machine 13-8
A valiant game was fought last week between the tie-dye fanatics and the green machines, as both teams brought a lot of heart to the field. However, the return of Christine to the Lanterns and a lack of players for the multi-colours led to a green victory. With Mike, Christine, and Peter as handlers, the Lanterns were able to score multiple long-distance points against Tie-dye. The multi-colours fought back ferociously as they released a T-Rex defense to try and halt the movement of these power-hungry Hulks. However, Mike pulled a sneak attack and avoided this defense by throwing to Tara, who gracefully caught the disc in the endzone. Tie-dye played a powerful game with their limited number of players, but the overwhelming potential of the Green Lanterns continued to dominate under the leadership of Mike. (The Honeys didn’t receive a review from Tie-dye, so sorry for the lack of multi-colour analysis).
Clockwork Orange vs Dark Matter
Black Holes 13-9
Out on field four, the brightness of the Oranges (looking at you, “traffic cone” Kelly) versus the abyss-like Blacks made it look like a Halloween fest gone wrong. The intensity of this game didn’t disappoint, with both Clockwork Orange and Dark Matter gunning for a win after several weeks of losses. The first half saw a tight battle between the orange jack o’ lanterns and the dark grim reapers. Clockwork Orange ticked away at the scoreboard, but Dark Matter managed to pull away the half with a score of 7-5, using some crazy snags and long points to their advantage. Dark Matter pulled further away after the half, leaving Clockwork Orange chasing after ghosts. Dark Matter’s James played like a devil broken lose, while Dee caught discs right and left, flying through the air like a vampire in bat-mode. “Razor” Ray Everest must have thought it was a full moon, as he played with the fervor of a werewolf. However, Clockwork Orange is not and has never been a team of zombies; they fought back mummy-return style. TJ ran himself into the ground (literally!), while Carlos and Johannes handled the disc better than a witch handles a broom. Carlos also took a mad point, cutting down the field and catching a great throw from Ben. Sandra and the Clockwork Orange ladies helped cut through the field as well. Despite their best efforts, Clockwork Orange was swept under Dark Matter’s cloak of blackness, and Dark Matter scream-knifed the victory.
Are you SO KEEN for finals? WE ARE!
