So despite a bit of rain the fields had dried enough that the dreaded email from ARC hadn’t arrived and we here at the stately Brisbane Ultimate Blog mansion fired up the gold plated hovercraft and scooted down to the Annerley Fields to watch the conclusion of Brisbane Ultimate Mixed League Season 2 2010, taking along Young Son in his bright blue Dyspnoeics shirt to show some allegiance, or at least score some extra cuddles from Suze.
Of course, bringing along Young Son meant that your correspondence was only able to watch snatches of the games, but here’s how it seemed to go down.
Over on Field 5, Frisky Time (est. 2010 – Motto “What?”) took on the Kelvin Grove Cougars (est. 2009 – Motto “Run hard, huck fast, and eat the corpse”) for the Div 2B Final.
The match was fairly close, but the key to the game seemed to be that the full compliment of Cougars was available, fired up and on time, while the Frisky’s seemed to limp into the event with six on the line for the opening huck, and various injuries, contact lens issues and other lateness hampering their chances to rock. The Frisky’s fought hard but its seems the Cougars got up to claim the win – a great cap to what’s been an excellent season for the northsiders in red. I should also note that at one point Tim Johnson threw an outstandingly excellent hammer.
On Field 3, the Div 2A Final saw one of the most historied teams in the League, the Dyspnoeics (est. 2006 and along with Bermuda Triangle the only original teams still remaining in the League (Mellow Yellow and the Chimichangas formed a season later) – motto “Bet you can’t spell or say our name the same way twice”), take on one of the newest, the Discheads (est. 2010 – motto “Gimme Dischead ‘til I’m dead.”). The Discheads had a full turn out of fans thanks to their connections with the Heroes Drinking Club, who duly brought a keg of homebrew and all the supporting accompaniments including Carl's Dad (who went to school with Buzz) and Starky. As for the game itself, it was a close one with much heroics on both sides, before the Discheads got away with it for the win. Well done to both teams for entertaining the crowd.
Presentations for Division 2 were then held while the Division 1 Final commenced in the background. Medals and ribbons were provided, along with bottles of plonk as thanks for the Captains, and thanks also were extended to everyone who helped with the administration of the League, in particular Adilia Murabito and Chris Fox. Well done to the Griffith Go-Go's for taking out the Division 2 Spirit Prize. Pizza was served, and a few of us got the chance to personally thank John Coorey for his massive efforts over the year. Thank you, thank you, three times thank you John! Planning for 2011 is underway.
So on to the Division 1 Final between the tie-dye clad Wushi Finger Hold and the outrageously panted Chimichangas. We here in the mansion have seen reports this morning that Wushi were victorious – well done to them. Sadly for this correspondent, it was well past Young Son’s bedtime and we had to depart after watching only one dazzlingly brilliant point featuring Peta McNaughton.
And so Finals week rolls on, with our next stop at BPL on Thursday, and then the QUDA Bash on Sunday. But for Monday night ... see you next year!
