Members of the Ultimate Frisbee teams of Port Elgin and Owen Sound competed in the Stall Fall tournament in Guelph on September 15 and 16 under the team name, Misfits. The co-ed seven on seven tournament included teams from across the province.
In a September 21 submission, the weather was quite hot but a good time was had by all.
The defensive play of the tournament for the Misfits was a rare Callahan or end-zone interception scored by Ben Brown.The offensive highlights included two hammers or curving overhand throws by Austin Robinson which were both caught by Rida Zainab to score points.
For those unfamiliar with the sport, Ultimate is much like football. The object of the game is to move the disc down the field and score a point by catching it in the goal area or end zone. The main differences are that Ultimate is a non-contact sport and players are not allowed to run with the disc. When the disc is caught, the player has to stop running, and has 10 seconds to throw it to a team mate.
Local interest in the sport has grown recently. For information visit Owen Sound Ultimate Frisbee's website or Facebook page or find Port Elgin Ultimate Frisbee on Facebook.
