Downing College Ultimate

Hello all,

This year we ordered a custom batch of 100 DCU discs from over the pond, bearing the college griffin (which was given a redesign by artist Ben Gomersall). Nearly all discs were sold upon arrival, perhaps illustrating the popularity of DCU/ultimate/disc sports. Once the sun comes out after the exams, I look forward to seeing griffins fill the Cambridge air!

Yours,

Kaustuv

Downing Lions 9 - 7 Churchill Beta
Match Reporters' Log, Stardate 26/2/12

In a vital match for DCU, the 1 v 8 match, DCU came out with a pretty hard
fought victory against a Churchill side stronger than their seeding
suggested.

Churchill came into the contest on the back of a series of wins, including
a walk over of Darkside to get into the top 8. Like DCU, their confidence
was high and a good match ensued.

The day was bright but chilly, and so was our game. The roaring Lions, spurred on by the return of our own Lion-maned Jack Scott, enjoyed a 13-3 victory over a massive ChrEmBroke side. We knew as 16th seeds this game was not going to be high-pressure, however ChrEmBroke brought out at least 14 players and (despite believing we were the Downing Firsts team) brought out a strong front.

*italian plumber's voice* Here we goooooooooooooo
