Sorry to all the juniors out there to dispel these mythical figures who came and conquered all student opposition but NADS only finished second in the Northern qualifiers, losing by quite a large score to Catch 22. At the student finals in Oxford we came an even more lowly 9th and last in the competition, but along with all the usual cliches we were just happy to be there. Therefore you cannot blame me (as the only NADS player still playing regularly) for junior teams not being allowed to play in Student tournaments Surely this happens since juniors have their own tournaments to play in that Students aren't allowed to. There is nothing stopping a junior team from entering open tournaments. It bring invaluable experience - I was taught how to play zone by Sneeekys on a wet afternoon in Shropshire! We even hosted several open events! Sorry this mail became longer than I thought - nice to go down in Ultimate folklore though!
