Huon High Flyers won the spirit prize (narrowly beating Ultima X11 and Bluey) in the 2004 Spring League and Bluey won the league, defeating Never Evergreen (6-4) in the grand final. Schwarzkopfs and Huon High Flyers were both knocked out in the semi-final, despite having the advantage of watching the first game, while Bluey and Evergreen were busy qualifying for the semis! Congratulations to Aaron Pinkus for winning the style in the final award, Pat Dunne for the Guts in the final award, Joe Boyer, Phil Exton and Mark Alexander who shared the best recruiter prize and Ashley Button and Kim Menadue who shared the best novice prize. Thanks to David Griffin and Jeff Dunn for cooking the BBQ, and for Asher Gentle, Tim Phillips and Jeff Dunn for their various roles as league organisers.

After a tense tussle, the tenth round of the 2004 Tasmanian Ultimate Championships saw Relish winning this round after time cap, with the final score 12-11. Relish took the half 9-6, and just managed to hold off a hard finishing Eh Team. This resulted in a tied series with each team winning 5 games each. Controversially the series was declared drawn making The Eh Team and Hot'n'Spicy Relish joint Tasmanian Ultimate Champions in 2004 (everyone is a winner!). A more detailed game report will hopefully appear soon!

After a very long first point, the ninth round of the 2004 Tasmanian Ultimate Championships saw a somewhat hollow victory to the Eh Team, who took the first half 9-2 and then hung on to win game 14-4 at time cap. See Tim's report for more details. Somewhat controversially, this game has been ruled to have been won by Relish, given that the Eh Team only had 4 registered players on the line (and 3 pickups). This leaves the Eh Team leading the series 5 games to 4. The next round will be held on Sunday December 12th.

The Brown Barbaloots took out the all important Spirit prize at the 6th Tasmanian Two-Hat Ultimate Frisbee Tournament. Felix Kennedy won the play of the day award with a spectacular layout catch for the last goal of the tournament. For the second year in succession, the Two-Hat gods conspired to create a stacked team (Little Johnny's Satanic Minions), which remained undefeated all day. Although Hangover Blues played well in the final, they conceded an early 5-0 lead to Little Johnny's Satanic Minions and could only claw their way back to 12-7 at time cap. Congratulations to the new entries in the 10 hat Hall of Fame: Sam Waugh, Craig Mundy, Jeff Dunn, Ken Suber and Stan Robert. Watch out for a full TD's report soon! |
