Australian Under 19 Squad Announced

Huge congratulations to Queenslanders Dominique Simpson, Sophie Stewart and Becky Hill on their selection to the Australian Under 19s Squad.

Dom, Sophie and Becky join 23 other young athletes from all over the country (well - almost. No Western Australians on the squad?) to compete in the women's division of the Australian Ultimate Championships in Adelaide this year as part of 'Southern Terra'.

Brisbane Women's Ultimate Disc is beside ourselves with glee and mother-hen-pride to see you all on such a prestigious list.

All the best at the second training camp in April, and see you at nationals, girls :-)

Women's League Final

Thanks Eireann for this roundup of the recent WUFL final at Oakman Park

Hello Brisbane Ultimate!

The first women's league of 2009 finished up with a bang. Thanks to everyone who came along and offered support on the sideline and on the bbq.

The game was a bit of a nail-biter with Mellow Black taking an early lead only to have it snatched back by the Titanium Nachos a few points later. Mellow Black managed to take out the half, but only just. Points were traded back and forth for the majority of the game with Mellow Black as the eventual winners.

The game saw some impressive stuff from some of the league's newer players. Titanium Nachos had Mel and Adrienne cutting up the field receiving passes left and right from Jen "Red Death" Campbell and Dominque. Delyse had a standout game making some amazing grabs in the endzone. Stalwarts Maylin and Carol were always there for the dump or ready to give or receive a pass.

Mellow Black just proved a force to be reckoned with! Steph, Phoebe, and Katrina were out for blood in the cup; Jenny was determined not to let anything get past her deep. Emily had positive baby vibes from the sideline and Laura was an O-machine!

Mellow Black took out the chocolate cup this time, but I'm sure Titanium Nachos will be back next season, ready to rumble!

Thanks again to everyone for a great season and your support of the Brisbane Women's League. The more we put into our women's league here in Brisbane, the more we'll be able to get out of it.

The next season will start up in mid-May(running until the end of June), following that, there will be a bit of a break before the next season and women's month in November!

We really do appreciate all of the folks that came out to support the final (and the Firestorm boys for cutting their training session a bit short to cheer us on)! I hope you all enjoyed the bbq and beer (and of course the game as well! See you next season ladies!
