UQ League Finals

With Token Black Team taking out the minor premiership by a point - G Spot were hungry for a victory in the final of the league. The game started with a flurry of points to the G Spot going up 3 - 0 as Token tried to adapt to a new game plan. With some awesome lays and sky graps by Jamie, Brenton and others Token got back into the game and scores seesawed through the 5s, 6s and 7s. The height, good throws and high pressure from G Spot gave them the lead as the crowd and drinks increased on the sideline. Going out to 10 - 8 before the game cap was called to 11. The noisy crowd cheered for an extra effort from Token to score and try and tie the game up but with a big d and clinical o - G Spot finished the game with Melissa Spalding catching the WINNER.

Other games - Pure Awesomeness bet their 4th place of the ladder and their opponents Raiders of the lost Stark in a close Bronze play-off and no one wanted the wooden spoon with a very boyish Good Times fighting out a 9 all draw against the ever mixed up Friskee Discness.

The well deserved 2009 Spirit of the Game (SOTG) winners were FRISKEE DISCNESS with the results of your votes tallied this is how it looked. (2 best score/spirit and -2 worst score/spirit)

FD - 9/9 - 1.43
GT - 9/9 - 1.25
PA - 7/9 - 1.25
ROTLS - 6/9 - 1.125
TBT - 8/9 - 0.8
GS - 7/9 - -0.44

In mind of tonights AGM

Vision of a CLUB.....

Our club should provide a platform for Ultimate players to play in every event/tournament/league in a team representing that club. It should provide opportunities to training, coaching and development.

UQ Ultimate also has a goal to maintain ties to the University of Queensland - therefore UQ students/staff/alumni are our primary player base and main focus for all club activities.

With that in mind:

Positions required in the upcoming AGM for the 6 mths till June 2010 and then into the future at every AGM held in late May - early June. AGM is being changed to help smooth the transition from 1 exec to the next... (only 1 month holiday in winter not 4 months)

Exec - has the responsibility of the Club and all events. Needs to meet at least once each 1-2 months and should play 1 - 2 nights. Plus feel the desire to play for UQ at every chance they can. I.E. in leagues and tourneys.

President - the buck stops here
Vice President - President elect.... learning the ropes and helping the exec - getting ready to run the club after the next AGM
Secretary - Book work, mail, taking notes
Treasurer - Money and organisation

Important roles
UQ League Coordinator - running the UQ league with the help of the exec and others
UQ BUML Coordinator - be a link between BUML director and UQ teams and UQ Exec (and play in the league for UQ would be ideal)
UQ Women's Coordinator - be a link between league director and UQ teams and UQ Exec (and play in the league for UQ would be ideal)
UQ BPL Coordinator - be a link between BPL director and UQ teams and UQ Exec (and play in the league for UQ would be ideal)
Club Coaching Staff - be available and have the desire to coach beginners for the Club and the UQ League or coach the Mixed Rep. team or the Baby rep team or any team representing UQ Ultimate

Web blogger/coordinator - blog results and updates and interviews with Ultimate Lovers etc etc
Social Coordinator - be the go to person for our social calendar - parties, disc golf, pick up, drink and eat nights?!
Fund-raising Coordinator - Jump start our fundraising, with ideas that come into reality
Lovefest Coordinator - be the go to person/people for OUR own TOURNAMENT
Team Captain for UQ league in 2010 - 6-8 males and 6-8 females

plus more helpers ;-)

Cheers
UQ Ultimate

PS... please email or see me (nat) before the AGM if you are very keen on a role or failing that speak up at the AGM. The club has been on the brink of oblivion before and we don't want to go back there so.. the more the merrier.
