Nationals results

Brighton sent three teams to the UK open & women’s national ultimate championships last weekend, and had great results all round:
Brighton 1 came 5th in Open division 1.
Brighton 2 came 7th in Open division 2 (that’s 23rd overall, and their best finishing position ever in a national event).
Brighton Women came 7th in the Women’s division.

A few weeks earlier, Brighton also went to the UK mixed national ultimate championships and maintained this year’s excellent mixed division performances with a third place finish.

Good job everyone who played! Now we head into the long, dark, muddy and wet winter season (as opposed to the long, bright, muddy and wet summer season) and train up for next year…

Mixed Tour 1 comes to Brighton, 7/8 June

UPDATE: Mixed Tour 1 was a great success, with everything running smoothly and Brighton making it to the final! Unfortunately they were beaten to first place by Chevron Action Flash, but it was still a great result for the local team. Find out the full finishing positions and spirit scores on the Mixed Tour 1 page.

Brighton are hosting the first big tournament of the Mixed Tour calendar, which sees over 30 of the best Ultimate teams in the UK & Europe come together in a battle for the #1 spot.

Spectators are invited to come and see the best teams compete over the whole weekend, 09:30-16:00 on both Saturday and Sunday 7th & 8th June, climaxing in the Grand Final at 15:30 on Sunday. Brighton’s home team are second favorites to win the tournament, so local support is encouraged and much appreciated!

Beginner’s session on Tuesday!

Next Tuesday (27th May), Jason will be going through a few basic skills & how to play Ultimate. If you’re new then this is the perfect time to start learning a bit more about the game, and if you have a friend who is interested in starting then bring them along!
The location is the same as the usual practice – Preston Park, near the tennis courts.
