Weekend and Tuesday night activities.

This weekend I played Ultimate Frisbee back at Warwick Uni, in the annual Warwick Indoors tournament that I once had the pleasure of organising (back in 2006 when I was President of the club). The club is celebrating its 35 year anniversary this year, and is the oldest student Ultimate club in the country.

In a team of ex-Warwick 1st team players (plus some friends from the ex-Leicester and Durham 1st teams) we have competed in the final of Warwick Indoors twice - coming 2nd twice... achieved 4th twice, 7th once.. and sadly this year.. we came 10th, losing out in the 'plate' final against a team we would normally play for the 3v4 game. I think we're getting old. On Saturday we played 5 x 18 minute games, and Sunday 1 x 18 minute and 3 x 20 minute. Overall a good weekend of running, throwing and catching. Great cardio!

Last night was the return match of Abacus Athletic in the Paddington 5-a-side league. I played better than I had done in previous weeks, operating in a role more in the middle than on other occasions. This led to 2 assists and 1 goal. With only a few games left to go, my current stats are 6 goals out of 9 games (and plenty of 'shots off target'...).
