safda open and women's review

Chris Davis does an excellent job running league. That's the first thing i wanted to say. Now, results and how well i predicted...

women, i was wrong. i really should have seen the strength of UE coming; Sarah Brice is developing in leaps and bounds (and a WUCC campaign can't hurt) and the rest of her squad is solid right through. The only team with no real obvious weaknesses, and the few times i saw them play they showed real strenght - these girls were good, and deserved what they got.

div 2, called it. bit dissapointed sunbeams blew the semi, but the oceanblue and ue final was foreseen, and the oceanblue win was obvious from then on. a real strong team with a lot of athletes, couldn't go past them.

div 1. final results:
flinders fury (+1)
joel and bumbo (-1)
ultimate evolution (+1)
flycatchers (+2)
adelaide uni (-2)
north adelaide ultimate (-1)

what went wrong? i'll tell you; firstly, flinders managed to capitalise well on j&b's weaknesses, and didn't let joel's big claims go to their heads. well done boys, you won back the title! UE's nationals training and campaign obviously helped level their heads and they ended up being the only real threat to either of the above mentioned teams' claim. with flycatchers, i kinda forgot sean is quite good, and sometimes matt ward still comes out to play. and their team is still half full of players from the 2008 winning squad. adelaide uni players either all got injured or just decided not to show up, and NAU's div 1 career is over :(

love it.
