But yeah Tommy's got a point... UTS didn't play with that unflappable enthusiasm that we know and love. There was tension and a little bit of angry. But I think that comes into most teams playing in the pressure games...

Having been a member of Suufa for more than 3 years now, it was high time that I popped my uni games cherry, and I can say that I had a wonderful time in Bathurst, and that silver on my first attempt was very rewarding.

Firstly congratulations to Newcastle A who played brilliantly throughout the whole tournament and really stepped it up a notch in a final that was closer than the score suggests, and alot cloer than you'd expect when one of t...]]> http://www.ultitalk.com/index.php?action=post;topic=749.0 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 08:53:14 GMT http://www.ultitalk.com/index.php/topic,749.msg8436.html#msg8436 <![CDATA[Re: World Games 09]]> http://www.ultitalk.com/index.php/topic,593.msg8435.html#msg8435 BJ

Yeah EUG was 15/80 min - I assume because for some reason there were only 2 fields and so there was a fair bit of time pressure to get all games completed. On the first day there were 6 rounds of games (we didn't finish playing until after 6pm?).

Rach - I would have thought they'd man-mark you earlier in the game. We did that a fair bit against Latrobe (Crystal) and for a few points against Melbourne (Mish Phillips).

Newcastle beat Sydney 11-5 in the final at EUG's. Sydney started strongly and was up 4-3 but Newcastle cleaned up their offense and finished well. The standard was a bit low with many turnovers from both teams...possibly as a result of not having had many other close games. (Newcastle had only conceded 10 points in 5 games before the final, including 3 15-0 walkovers).

Just a bit more info about results already mentioned:

UTS v SUUFA semi-final
Was very close for the first 60 minutes. Trading for that entire period, at one point UTS even took the break to be up 5-4. However, SUUFA took half 8-6 (at ~65 min mark of an 80 min game) and then UTS started on D. SUUFA increased the intensity of their zone after half, and eventually won 12-6.

No big surprises at SUG. Flinders went up 6-0 pretty early but then Monash switched on and made more of a game. Melbourne took the bronze over Latrobe and Deakin beat Ballarat 15-8 for 5th place. Shaun Johnson (Deakin) and Jude Mitchell (Melbourne) were MVPs.

We didn't have any of our "big name signings" for this tournament. Very similar line-up to last year's AUG team.

Monash v Flinders Uni 1 in the gold medal game at SUG.
