Ultimate Frisbee Senior School State Championships

On Monday 28, Fort Street took 3 teams to compete in the annual Ultimate Frisbee Senior School State Championships. We took two teams into the Opens competition and one team in the Girls competition. The tournament is held annually at Meadowbank Park for students from years 10-12. 

The tournament was held in a pool format, with each team playing 3 to 4 other teams before scores would be calculated to determine the semi-final participants. The A & B Opens teams made their way into the semi-finals while the Girl’s team played their best but were unsuccessful.

A notable moment was the game between the Fort Street Open A and B teams, where astonishingly the A team lost. Do not bully them about this. Another moment is the spirit circles conducted by each team post-game, where captains complimented opposing teams and gave their well wishes as shows of sportsmanship. 

Every player put in a valiant effort and was greatly rewarded with a fun and interesting experience. The A team were physically rewarded due to placing 3rd, while the B and Girls team placed 4th and 6th respectively. 

Our players enjoyed the experience, with an A team player; Joshua Tong calling it a “fun and humbling experience”. We would all recommend anyone interested in Frisbee join the weekly Tuesday morning club and sign up next year. 

A special thanks to the event organisers, Edmund Feng and most of all Mr O’Neill, the latter two coaching and supporting us during the games.
