Belfast Ultimate

Congratulations to all for what was, for many people, a very successful Easter Special 2009. 10 teams (8 from the North, 1 from Tallaght and 1 from Maynooth) competed in one of the largest Ultimate competitions to be ever held in the North of Ireland.

Is it called 'Easter Special' or 'Love Easter'? Who knows.

Love Easter (the name is up for grabs - anyone do better?!) is returning for its second year. It's on Easter Saturday, the 11th April, at 10am at the Stranmillis Embankment beside the PEC. We'll provide a basic lunch (bread, ham, chocolate bars, bananas etc) and some team water (and maybe some shelter... anybody got a gazebo?)

Where: Ormeau Park Playing Fields, Ormeau Embankment

Yeah, Belfast Ultimate are doing something funny for money. Yes, a charity match; the Ballerina Babes verses the Mankini Mingers (what else would it be;-) This epic match is taking place this Saturday 7th March at Ormeau Park Playing Fields at 2pm. All are welcome to come, watch and cheer on their favourite team.

If you'd like to play for one of the teams, sign-up by posting to this discussion thread http://groups.google.com/group/belfastultimate/browse_frm/thread/8b18300... on our google group.

A few of BUG’s fine players travelled to the city of Limerick to form the bulk of the pick-up team there. We were met with players from Belgium, Germany, and two Irish old-hands. And so it was that the pick-up team, Billy No-Mates would play iron man for the weekend.

“…The fewer men, the greater share of honour.

Building on the most successful year for Belfast Ultimate so far, nominations for the Annual Belfast Ultimate Awards have been received for 2008. The Awards include the Best Player, the Best Beginner, the Most Spirited Player and the Biggest Contribution.
