Training really focussed on getting the offense in our heads for the Sunday, and also teaching the defense which we would go on to use on Sunday as well. The drills we did were useful for reinforcing the principles of the offense, such as the cutting patterns. Great session, despite missing a few players.
Good night out at the Bavarian Bierhouse too.
Sunday games:
Game 1 vs Wessex (Win): Started slow against Wessex and the offensive patterns weren't clicking at first. Pulled out the win. Like I mentioned in an earlier post; wessex have a load of my mates playing and, from going to one of their trainings and seeing them play today, I think they are going to do quite well this year. Wessex only came away with one win from the day and a close sudden death to Dog Eat Disc, but they definitely have a solid offense structure which is very aggressive and moves the disc quickly down the middle of the field. Interesting poaching defense as well can't really remember the specifics though.
Game 2 vs EMO 2 (Win): Standard game against a not that strong opponent. They played a strong pull play which their first team also played. This game was pretty much a warmup for the game against their first team.
Game 3 vs EMO 1 (Win): Strongest opponent we played all day. Solid win for Kapow.
Game 4 vs Dog Eat Disc (Win): We didn't have to win this game, to win the tournament, but we couldn't lose by that many. Turns out we won in Sudden Death 11-10 to finish off a good day.
Good things about the day, our offense was really strong. The O-line got broken only once in our final game, and very few times throughout the day. The defense, at times, was easily broken with our poaching setup, which we learned on Saturday, but really stepped up at some important moments. In every game our D line either got the break to take the half, finish the game, or do both.
Really enjoyed the weekend and definitely looking forward to Tom's Tourney in Bruges. Think this undefeated day could be the start of a good season.
Plus: look at that cool trophy!
EUROPE! KA-POW!
