Brighton Mixed stormed through to beat German team Frizzly Bears 15-6 in the final of the mixed division at the European Ultimate Championship Finals. Well done everyone!
Meanwhile, Brighton Open had a lot of really close matches, only winning 2 of their 7 games. Despite a low finish of 37th place, they gave their opponents a really tough time and showed that they deserved to be competing at XEUCF.
Check back in a day or two for some photos from the tournament.
Brighton Ultimate have had mixed results over the first two days of the eXtended European Ultimate Championship Finals. The Mixed team have been storming through – winning all their games – and are currently top seeds in the mixed division. The Open team won their first game on Thursday but lost their subsequent four games – they had some very close matches though and made their opponents really fight for every point. Over the next two days Brighton Mixed will be looking to reach the mixed division final, and Brighton Open will be trying to iron out the creases in their game, get some more wins under their belt, and gain a few places in the rankings.
You can follow our progress by checking the Brighton Ultimate Twitter feed, which will be updated live throughout the tournament. The final placings will be posted here next week along with a link to some photos from the tournament.

Two weeks ago we saw the Summer League’s climactic final between Kohlrabi and Rhubarb. It was an amazing game, with huge catches, D’s, hucks and great layouts from the beginners as well as the experienced players on both sides. An exciting match to watch, the score was always close, with Kohlrabi eventually coming out on top, 12-10, making Kohlrabi the Brighton & Hove Summer League Champions 2009!
The Spirit of the Game award also went to Kohlrabi, so congratulations for winning both! Scroll to the bottom of this article for the definition of Spirit of the Game, the importance of which is essential and unique to Ultimate.
