Frisbee championships hailed a success despite wild weather

WILD conditions didn’t stop the frisbee’s from flying at the Victorian Mixed Ultimate Championships over the weekend.

From September 14 to15 more than 300 participants and 19 teams battered wet and windy weather as they competed at Torquay’s Banyul-Warri Fields.

Ultimate Victoria general manager Simon Talbot said it was a successful weekend with some great ultimate.

“The weather made it a little bit challenging, but being a state championship event, the teams were able to cope with the rain and the wind ok.

“On a windy day, the wind can blow the frisbee around a little bit, which makes it a little bit tricky to throw, but changes how the teams play, it makes it more challenging but not impossible.”

 

Half Moon finished in the top position following the two days of games, with Chilly Chimichanga coming in second and The Sunflowers finishing in third.

“There was some really close match games and a couple of upsets but it was good to see everyone giving their absolute best,” Mr Talbot said.

Vanessa Gan from team Chilly Soup and Fionn Somers from Chilly Chimichanga were awarded most valuable players for the event.

 

The top five teams from the Victorian competition will go on to compete at the National Australian Mixed Ultimate Championships in October.

“We’re hoping Victoria is going to be well represented there and hoping a Victorian team takes out the title.”
