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!

Queensland - Beautiful One Day, Volunteers the Next
AFDA recently announced its August Volunteer of the Month.
Congratulations to Adilia who was recognised for her work in Brisbane!
Its funny too how the other nominees included Stef on the Gold Coast, and Simon and Mike in Townsville.
The three main Queensland Ultimate cities, all mentioned in one month. Cool.
Just in time for the BUDA elections next weekend ....

Adilia Murabito Wins Bruce McNaughton Award!
Just to report that at the QUDA Bash last Friday, we were proud to announce that Adilia Murabito would be the recipient of the Bruce McNaughton Award.
The Bruce recognises outstanding volunteer contributions to the organisation of flying disc sports in Queensland, and Adilia's effort has certainly been large and long.
The Executive was pleased to receive four nominations this year, demonstrating our membership's appreciation of the work people do for us all, as well as the prestige of 'winning the Bruce'.
Adilia's nomination is below. Congratulations Adilia, and thanks again to you and all the volunteers in Queensland for their work.

We the undersigned would like to nominate Adilia Murabito to receive the Bruce McNaughton Award at the QUDA Bash this Friday.
We consider Adilia an outstanding candidate for the Bruce, and recognition of her vast and lengthy volunteer service to Ultimate is just about due to be recognised.
Adilia has been playing Ultimate in Brisbane for many years, and has volunteered to help organise Ultimate for just as long. There is a rare tournament or league that Adilia has not directly helped with somewhere in the piece, often taking on the more onerous roles like fields or food!
Adilia is an ideal organiser in that she clearly respects anyone else willing to get involved in Ultimate volunteering and works well with them. Whenever she sees a problem she takes the initiative to resolve it - either directly on her own or by alerting the group to the need. Adilia has quietly and smoothly managed the finances for BUDA and many seasons of BUML, and particularly taken the lead on field management (particularly with Yeronga AFL). She has always been of great support to anyone who steps into the shoes of organising a League in Brisbane.
A key interest for Adilia is to bring new players into the game at every opportunity. Adilia has been instrumental in organising many 'Learn to Play' activities over many years, and is always one of the first to offer to help whenever someone else organises such an event.
Adilia is a volunteer in the true spirit of the term - her commitment to getting more people playing Ultimate and growing the number of Ultimate activities is never about increasing her own playing opportunities (she's waaay too busy for more Ultimate, sadly!) - it is always about a genuine affection for the sport and a belief that everyone's life would be better if they played it.
On the field, Adilia is a great teacher and model of Spirit of the Game. She is generous, courteous and cheerful to all. Her laugh adds much to any gathering of the Ultimate tribe.
We think Adilia would be an excellent winner of the Bruce McNaughton Award.
