Heroes learn a li'l lovin' from Lovefest 20/10

First of all I must ask that you excuse how crap this post might be because zs I write this I ma ucrrently consuming my 6th beer since our last game, which ended less than 2 hours asgo.

Heroes brought some wicked frisbee right from the get go after the practice tournament last weeekend. First up we played against Griffith and friends, the most spirited team of the tournament. After a hard week of frisbee (Div2 BUML, Div1 BUML, BPL and the first ever Wonder Women game) Heroes were pumped to play some Frisbee, and most importantly to WIN some frisbee.

The first game seemed a little scrappy. Both teams took a while to get in to the game and both teams probably should have capitalised on each others' errors earlier but in the end Heroes managed to take the game something like 9 - 6 or perhaps even closer, I really can't remember that far back now. Griffith were our only opponent who was organised enough to have a spirit "game" during the circle of love and our roses were awarded to Robyn, Adam and everyone's favourite captain, Dan.

Next up saw Heroes playing the number 2 seeded squad (who ended up taking the tournament) The Mexican. I think the most disappointing aspect of this match was the lack of moustache, given Al's display at Halibuts. Thankfully, yours truly was able to bring something extraordinary to the table. Props to Arlin though for his disgustingly seedy mo.

In true Heroes style we used the first game to warm up and realise that it was gonna take a little more effort to bring the competition to this game. The Mexican were made up of a combination of Chimichangas, John Doe and probably a few others so most tipsters would have predicted a pansting, a la last week in Mixed Nat's Qualifiers. Instead, Heroes decided to play some fricken awesome ultimate and lost the game 8-7. Heroes had last possession with this score however unfortunately we were unable to bring it back to a draw after a rather even rest of the game.

Next up Heroes had a bye followed by lunch, which was deliciously welcome. The pools were split at this stage and Heroes were placed with Disc Heads and Sugar, who had both won one and lost one.

Post lunch Heroes played Disc Heads and really brought our A game. Our new recruit Pete Allen only played the first half but in that time we were able to get up 6 - 1. I think most of all our attitude coming in to the game is what got as so far ahead with every Hero wanting to beat these chumps after last BUML Div 2 matchup. This game I think was won by our women, Laura Sonter, Mel, Robyn and Steph, who all put in 113%. Final score was approx 11-6 to Heroes.

Far out, blogging under the influence takes forever.

Finally Heroes played Sugar basically for 4th place in the tournament. It was a draw. What more can I say? I expected more from Sugar but the talk (from other teams) on the side line went along the lines of "Heroes are playing really well today" or "I've never seen Heroes play so strong".

After the game there was discussion about how Frisbee wins after a draw. Often teams will say "Frisbee is the real winner" but I think Frisbee would be pretty pissed about this. Anyway, I'm not pissed, I think Heroes were phenomenal today. Come next time and we will be winning against the tournament champions, and pantsing the rest of them.

Three big cheers for Nathan for directing a lovely tournament, Pete, Buzz, Stubbs and Danger for there first appearances in the HEroes club and gosh darnit, for James Squire for providing me with such delicious post tournament beer! Hiphiphiphorray!!yayayayroflcopterlolbbq
