This weekend saw the student outdoor finals at Bakewell. Played
all weekend under gloriously sunny skies the event saw 31 teams
battle it out to be champions.
The initial group stages saw few surprises with most teams playing
to their seedings. A notable exception were Northern Lights who
with excellent victories over Mwnci See and Strange Blue came top
of their pool.
The final games on Saturday saw the top 16 playing off for the
quater finals. Pre tournament favourites Warwick Bears, Ro-Sham-
Bo and Phat Eds all saw off their challengers with relative ease.
After a series of tough quarter finals in which the Mohawks ran the
Bears close before eventuaally losing in the cap the semi's stood
as..
Ro-Sham-Bo v Jedi
Phat Eds v Bears
A much underestimated Leeds team had so far gone unoticed.
With some inspired defence and accurate hucking Jedi took an
insurmountable early lead and while Ro-Sham-Bo came back
strongly in the second half of the game it proved too much and a
jubilant Jedi team had got the chance to defend their trophy in the
final.
The Bears, Phat Eds game was always likely to be a tough game
and so it proved with a number of " interesting " calls characterising
the early exchanges. Bears came out with their typical rage and
steamed into a 4-0 lead thanks to some safe hands from Tom,
Voodoo and Norm. Phat Eds changed their defence in response
and started playing some Junk in what was becoming a tricky lead.
The lead was eventually eroded and Phat Eds took a time out with
a 9-8 lead. Switching back to man the final few points were frantic
with numerous turnovers but Phat Eds won through to make it an
all Yorkshire final.
The final was by all accounts a classic after establishing an early 2-
0 lead the Phat Eds allowed themselves to be distracted and with
Ben Silk and Bob leading the line Jedi struck back to take a three
point lead which they then held to take the half 10-7. After the fhalf
the Phat Eds raised their game and with key Jedi players tiring
they took advantage and at the hooter the game was tied 11-11
with a two point cap. Jedi took the lead after a Jo Bolton point
block on the Phat Eds line allowed an easy score and after turning
over again it looked like a Jedi victory. However great handling from
the Phat Eds back three of Steve Higgins, Karl Guard and Jesper
Snoorgard kept the Phat Eds in it and the game went into sudden
death. Jedi in possesion lost control of the disk on the halfway line
and after working it into some space a huck in the zone allowed
Dave Sealy to come down with the winning score.
Thanks to all who came to make it such an excellent weekend.
