Cape Town Ultimate

The final round of the Spring League ‘pool’ games was completed last night in a typically gusty Cape Town wind. I noticed a lot of nervous glances between players that showed a lack of confidence playing in the wind. However, once the games were underway everyone seemed to get into the groove of the conditions and there were some epic battles being played out.

Gold Member continued their unbeaten run of domination and have claimed the first seed going into the playoffs. Wasabi had to work hard against a fired up Smashing Pumpkins to take the win and claim 2nd seed in the semi finals next week. Blue Steel have held their own and slide neatly into 3rd seed. Firestarter and Purple Haze faced off in what was effectively their playoff match to snag the last spot in the playoffs. Firestarter got off to an early lead, but soon Haze caught up and the lead changed hands a few times until the game was tied at 13. Firestarter then managed to find the endzone in the next 2 points and secured the 4th seed in the semi’s.

Next week’s lineup is as follows:
Semi 1: Gold Member vs Firestarter
Semi 2: Wasabi vs Blue Steel
5th Place: Purple Haze vs Smashing Pumkins
