Bulldogs Dig Up First Win

It was the hottest night of the summer because ultimate Frisbee was back at Lansdowne field and Canatara park.  The Megalomaniacs were facing off against the Huckstables in an intense match up where the wind was actually the main player taking the Frisbee from many valiant receivers and carrying it out of play.  The Huckstables seemed to make a breeze out of the wind first, taking the first two points.  But then the Megalos put on a strong defensive zone with a *cup led by Don Martin.  It was Don’s tight *cup that put the squeeze on the Huckstables, stalling their offence and limiting them to only six more points.  The Megalomaniacs win 15-8.

The pink machine Hungate’s Mom found themselves down at half to the Banana Hammocks 8-3 before they found their gear.  Scoring the next 5 straight points including a giant catch and lucky throw from Steve Reynen.  Karthik Senthilnathan capped it off with the game winner for Hungate’s as they win 15-13.  For the Hammocks Andrew Wright had numerous all star defensive plays that held his team close.

Also at Lansdowne came the upset of the night, as the win-less Bulldogs defeated the first place Suspects.  Even short on subs, the Bulldogs played a high energy game all the way up to a 13-10 lead.  They had trouble putting the game away allowing the Suspects to get close, but the Bulldogs win 15-13.  Bryce Houston really stepped up his game for the winners making some hard catches and defensive plays.

At Canatara Red Army matched up against Delusions of Grandeur.  DoG were led to a 15-12 win by Jeff Rathburn whose gloves seemed to have glue on them all night.  For Red Army it was Michelle Snauwaert lighting up the offence and Hsiu-Yan Chan taking one for the team by defending the disc with her fore head.
