(Oxford) 7.Squaws (Brighton) Spirit: Squaws Tournament Report: The tournament was played on a round-robin format initially, with play-offs between 1v2, 3v4 and a three-way pool between 5-7. Games were 25 minutes. Saturday saw some very close games, notably Phat'Eds v Janet Hawes with JH winning in sudden death and Squaws v OW! with Squaws winning the crucial final point. Team player lateness saw both Bliss and BAF resorting to 4-(wo)man zone, both teams succeeding in baffling their opponents with very 'junky' D to clinch the top two places at the end of the round-robin. The Bliss v BAF game included BAF resorting to playing their joker with a debut performance by a rather ugly bearded chick called 'Casey'. After an impressive start she quickly lost form, being shown the disc on several occasions thereafter, helping to ensure a Bliss victory. Sunday brought 2 epic battles between OW! and Angels in the space of 3 games, the first being the last round-robin game, the second a 5v7 play-off. Both games were closely fought with Angels emerging victorious. Both Phat'Eds and OW! got revenge for their sudden-death defeats on Saturday, Phat'Eds taking 3rd place from Janet Hawes; OW! pipping Squaws to 6th place with a lay-out 'D' from junior Carlene which brought enthusiastic applause from the home crowd. The final saw a rematch between Bliss and BAF (plus 2 pick-ups and a benched Casey), filmed by Channel 6 (an Oxford TV channel). Thanks to all the teams that attended. The standard of play improved dramatically over the weekend, resulting in hard fought but spirited games throughout both days. Congratulations to Squaws on winning spirit - Natalie, you would have been proud of them! Looking forward to seeing you all again at women's nationals. Tara
