BUML mid season review_#3

Poachers

Poachers have given the Heroes the best run of matches thus far. With 3 outings against them resulting in 1 win each and a 9 all draw, no one knows what will result next time round. The poachers had recruited well over the off season and with the likes of Kalin and  Dan added to the experience of  "Always gets hurt" Theo
and Dan Blacklock (pictured). At this midpoint of the season poachers are in with a real shot at the title, with a couple other teams. They need to hold form, especially with 3 draws, as soon at those close games go their way, Poachers could get a roll on.

Bermuda Triangle

The old Bermuda Triangle lead by 'the old' Geoff Spurling has had an up and down season with 4 wins, 4 loses, and 2 draws. But what do people know about this team? Really not much is known, except other teams constantly get lost in their zone. It’s this un-phantomable predicament. You know you're about to sail straight into it, but you still get lost. All you need to beat this team is compass like this. But getting your hands on it isn’t that easy. It seems as though 6 other teams got lost in the mist of the Bermuda zone, can you make it through to the 'other endzone', no I mean side, agrh Im lost...

Kelvin Grove Cougars

 This team is a previous league champion but with the likes of their best player Mike Nield gone for this season, who was there to step up and take control. Well they've still got Tim Johnson and Gemma Sheridan marshalling the cougars around the field, so they cant be going to badly. I haven’t as yet played this team but from their previous results, the table standings and the average AFDA #, what I would suggest of this team is that they’re blooding some new talent. So with 4 wins and 6 loses, that’s pretty good I think. Rumour still has it that the cougars get extra practice in at recess at KG high school. Maybe some enforced after noon detention and we'll see this side back to their old form from winning the league.

Griffith Go Go's

 Its a fact I’ve saved the incredible HUCs favourite team until last. The HUC loves what this team/club has done for ultimate in Brisbane since the start of the year. Unfortunately this success has not as yet carried over to the BUML D2 league as yet. But their fighting spirit has. I recall last season a drawn game between Heroes and the GoGos. Instead of registering a draw, they wanted to play one last point to go for the win. They pulled Heroes the disc and put us on O. We scored, but seeing this offer of spirit and the willingness to lay down the points earned for a draw, for a win was great. Seeing them get the first BUML was great this season.


Well with all teams reviewed in this BUML league and with the poll running its' course currently, The incredible HUC has been enlighten. Stay tuned to buml.com and get into the funest league going.

AO Match Report Round 4

After their defeat to in-form Discheads last week, Bermuda were out to redeem themselves tonight. Orange welcomed back Dstrel from his OS adventures but were missing Steph to the same cause. James was seen smashing down a kebab only moments before the game.

Wind conditions (at least at the start of the game) suited zone, which always suits Bermuda, but it was AO who struck first. A strong zone and some fast offence saw AO take the score to 6-3. Dave made some big leaps and new recruit Cam was cutting well. Our zone started getting sloppy however, where Bermuda's was finally getting stuck in. Things got hairy. We had no answer to Bermuda's D. At one point we (accidently) tried playing with 8 players after a substitution miscommunication. Not surprisingly this wasn't the answer. Bermuda scored 6 in a row to 9-6. AO stayed instensely competitive but couldn't convert another point until after the buzzer 9-7.

After the '4 grading games' AO have 1W 2L 1Bye. So it would be expected that we end up in the 2nd pool of div2. That's a shame! I'll wait for the BUML announcement though before I shed a tear.
