Tassie Tiggers and Bush at Australian Ultimate Championships, Melbourne, April 22-25 2007

Bush, April 2007

Bush had some very close games through out the four days as well as some games that we lost but learned a lot along the way. Can't remember any of the results any more but I think we won close to half of the games we played. Bush finished in 11th position, two places above our seeding.

Tassie Tiggers, April 2007

The Tiggers matched their seeding at Nationals, finishing in 16th place out of 16 teams, but they won every game of duck, duck, goose and they won spirit - the third spirit victory in 6 years for the Tasmanian Open team at Nationals. Thanks to captain John Kristensen for running the team - perhaps he will produce a longer report one day!

Worra worra worra!
