Brighton Ultimate infiltrate the BBC!
Or more specifically, quiz-master and general know-it-all Jason “Mediocrefly” Stoakley is roped into representing the Mohawks (the Sussex University Ultimate Frisbee team) live on BBC Southern Counties radio. He battled against none other than Matt “Skeletor” Smith from Chichester University’s Ultimate Frisbee team but could only manage a draw. By all accounts he plugged “Extreme Frisbee” (as the presenter called it) as well as he could in the limited time, and may even be back on the radio next week to report on Brighton’s performance at Skogshyddan’s Winter Trophy tournament in Gothenberg this weekend.
You can listen to this morning’s radio show here – Jason was on the breakfast show at around the 2:27:00 mark. However, I will endeavour to record this particular part of the show and post it here on the website to make hearing it a bit easier, so check back on Monday.
And finally, if you’ve found this site after hearing Jason on the radio this morning, feel free to have a look around and come along to Preston Park on a Saturday at midday to meet us! We’re a friendly bunch and you’re more than welcome to try out the sport even if you’ve never picked up a frisbee before.
You can find more information about Ultimate Frisbee at the What Is Ultimate? website, and on Wikipedia.
