Hey DCU,
So it's not quite Tebboth's level of prose, but I gave it a shot.
On a foggy day in November when the sun forgot to get up, when not even a rousing bonfire could bring warmth to freezing fingers, Downing Eagles set out to battle Trinity on green green (heavily watered) grass of Parker's Piece. As the warm up began, the omens were not good. A captain and several key players out for SB or otherwise missing. A stand in captain nowhere in sight (and I quote: 'sozzle'). Yet heads were not yet bowed. Claire led a super warm up, with great emphasis on the aquatic nature of ultimate (gotta be able to swim to win). Then gradually we accrued late running players, to start the game with 9 (not on the pitch obviously, that's cheating).

Oh hey DCU, let me tell you a tale.
On this grey day, the Lions of Downing prowled their way to Jesus, then to Jesus green due to rugby people, in search of a win to guarantee them a good group place.

It's been a while since I've written one of these, and I may be a little rusty. On the other hand, it can't possibly be worse than the last one can it?

Today's stories involve fresh faces, crazy post-match calls, fewer hangovers, and more sweet, sweet ultimate. Read on to hear how DCU triumphed against tigers and penguins in an epic battle for the right to collect a small metal disc from Coburn.

Today I tell a tale of courage, boldness and strength. A tale about putting bodies on the line, surpassing your limits, and discovering how well people called Nick can play with a hangover. I am of course, telling the story of the ultimate we played today.

First year is quite a journey. As is customary during Freshers “week” you mingle with other people in your year, and various clubs and societies try to rope you into joining, with stalls, leaflets and freebies to lure you in. With so much to experience in such a short time, how on earth did I end up signing for Downing College Ultimate?
