The Most Mellow of the Yellows

Time gets away from us, even the immortal denizens of the stately Brisbane Ultimate Blog mansion.

But we must pause in this most busy of existences to ponder and wonder at the general awesomeness of Eireann Gilligan and Jon Good, who tonight play their last game in the yellow colours for probably the most popular team in Brisbane, the Mellow Yellow.

In case you missed it, Eireann and Jon depart Brisbane 'forever'* in just over a week or so (both will get a final game in at WUFL and BPL respectively I think).

Jon and Eireann have played many seasons and tournaments for Mellow Yellow, a team they helped found way back in 2006 (I think). They have contributed in many other ways to Brisbane Ultimate too - Eireann also known for her enthusiasm on the Women's scene, and Jon for Directing the Brisbane Premier League for several seasons (along with drinking copious amounts of alcohol and gossiping madly at any opportunity).

But I think it will be for the love that they have shared with all of us through their membership of Mellow Yellow that they will be best remembered. The Yellows are regular winners of the BUML Spirit Prize, and routinely feature in finals series. More importantly, brand Mellow is one of sheer Ultimate JOY and has been for many years and is likely to be for many years to come.

We in the stately Brisbane Ultimate Blog mansion have always looked forward to a game against Mellow Yellow, and have never been disappointed.

A lot more could be written! I am sorry time is so short.

So get on down to the BUML Finals tonight and GO MELLOW YELLOW (sorry Cougars - there always has to be a sentimental favourite!).

*by forever, we mean we're sure they'll be back for a visit. But they're like moving overseas or something.
