Hi 

thanks to everyone involved in the Nationals. You all helped to make 
it one of the most enjoyable I've ever attended. Particular plaudits 
to Shrub for great spirit during such a tense semi, and to the Druids 
(am I really saying this?) for staying cool when we looked like we 
had the final sown up at 4-2.

I think one of the most important factors in our (U.T.I.'s) success 
was that we played with great team spirit all weekend. We had our 
fair share of duff throws, drops and general headless-chickeness. 
However, at no point did we ever stop enjoying the game, nor did we 
start getting at each other. This gave us the confidence to play 
effective, varied offence and committed D. If you read through a few 
back copies of Ultimatum you'll find other examples of this effect 
(and how many times have teams lost their spirit at a critical point 
and then completely fallen apart?). So give it a try the next time 
things are going down the pan-you'll certainly enjoy the game more, 
you'll probably play better and who knows you might even win!

Cheers

PS Fair play to Rob Cole for bringing us to account for our lack of 
call. Spirit of the Game encompasses many things, none of which 
should be neglected.
