DOJO MOJO Win Northern Australian Ultimate Championships 2006

This weekend was the Northern Australian Ultimate Championships 2006.

Five teams attended the 2 day tournament:

Moreton Bay Bugs
Dojo Mojo
'74 Flood
No Panda
Nice Shoes, Wanna Huck?

After dealing with Asbestos related delay's and field reloctions things went quite smoothly.

Results went according to seed on Day 1, apart from a huge win for Dojo Mojo against the Bugs (15-11). This win guarenteed Dojo Mojo a spot in the final. The aftermath of the game also saw a significantly stupid action from yours truley: I attempeted to layout through a 1.2 metre high tower of empty pizza boxes and landed on my shoulder causing me to sprain the joint :-(

Dojo's win also threw a spanner in the works for the draw as the first 2 games of Sunday morning were a double act: Bugs v Flood and No Panda v Nice Shoes.. then just add water and repeat! The games went according to seed both times but the second edition of the Panda/Shoes games was a tightly fought contest with Panda winning 11-9.

The pinnacle of the weekend was the final - a battle (or really pizza box) scarred Bugs vs a well rested Dojo Mojo.

It was a high quality game from beginning to end. After a few "breaks of serve" for each team, Dojo took the half 8-7. Dojo came out hard after the half and skipped away by a few points. After soft cap the Bugs tried to wrench back the difference but weren't able to and Dojo won 15-12.

Final Placings:

1: Dojo Mojo
2: Moreton Bay Bugs
3: '74 Flood
4: No Panda
5: Nice Shoes, Wanna Huck?

The Spirit prize was also tightly fought, but '74 Flood went away with the prize. Most Valuable Player for the Tournament was Mike Neild from the Bugs.

Thanks go out to all the assitants and helpers from the weeked, especially to co-TD Rena Kuwahata.
