Firestorm Announce Squids

Here's the email from the selectors:

The teams that will be representing Firestorm through the National Championship series have been selected. On behalf of the selectors, we'd like to thank all the boys who've been coming down for the last 8 weeks and training their guts out. Every one of you boys, whether you made a team or not, have been essential parts of making Firestorm and Brisbane men's Ultimate stronger. We'd like to encourage those blokes who've been training with us consistently this season to continue to come down - it'd be great to see you guys remain actively involved with the Club. Additionally, for the boys who've been a part of the club so far and are not part of the Nationals teams, the Firefighters team at Regionals has a spot with your name on it.

Without further ado (individual team names TBA):

FIRESTORM X
Ben "Beej" Blackman
Sam Challis
Will Churchill
Alistair Don
Tim Ferguson
Andy "Coopers" Lankowski
James Larkin
Mike Neild
Julian Sacre
George Salisbury
Spinner "Spinner" Sheppard
Damian Wong
Aaron Webber
Dan Young

FIRESTORM Y
Pete Allen
Stuart Austin
Adam "Jangles" Beu
Brock Cunliffe
Chris Cunliffe
Liam "Wetnose" Gillions
Geoff "Gref" Grundy
Will Larkin
Nathan Litzow
John McNaughton
Manuel Ramirez
Stefan Rappazzo
Phil Stocks
Dean Vlahaki

Congratulations to these boys.

The next step from here is Regionals, on March 15-16. Our aim is to go and secure the top two places there, with the aim of gaining a wildcard for the Northern Region and taking both of these teams to compete at Nationals, in Coffs Harbour from April 24-27.

Training is on as usual, Tuesday night.

Cheers boys.

John
On behalf of Al and Mike (Firestorm selectors)


And they've all registered for Regionals too! Nice one.

I think the squads should be "Nuclear Firestorm" and "Atomic Firestorm".

Looking down the squad list for 'Firestorm X' I am reminded of the heady days of 'Skyscraper' - that's a very tall looking line up, for the most part.

Congratulations to all the guys and best of luck for regionals and nationals.
