This weekend I played in the annual Rawhyde revolver tournament as a fun way to end the frisbee season.
I went with a team called "Amazingstoke" based loosely on living in/living near/having lived in at one time Basingstoke.
It was a mixed team and it was a very good standard with a mixture of mostly A-tour men and top level women's tour players. Even though it was an open tournament we got all the way to the final, beating last year's tournament winners in the group stages to take the #1 seed.
Didn't really have a difficult game until the semi final against Southampton skunks (my old uni team) who had a mix of 1st team and 2nd team players. We traded until about 4-4 when we started to pull away for a comfortable victory.
The final was against team BUTTSEX...i mean SUBTEXT. They were ironman with one girl and the rest of their players at an A-Tour standard. We played them hard and were down at half by 8-6. We tried to come back but couldn't get any breaks back and they went on to win the game 11-9 (i think).
We ended up finishing above Scarecrew who play mixed tour together and a load of open teams so everyone was happy with 2nd, especially considering a lot of the team hadn't played with most of the other players before.
I had plenty of fun this weekend and I think everyone else on the team was keen to enter this team into other tournaments like Club Mixed Indoor Nationals in the new year.
