Matchday 2: Fire Still Burning, Release Unlimited Bright sunshine and widespread frost greeting the early rising London Ultimate community for the second instalment of the 2005-06 Winter League. Whilst the rest of the country was waking to the news of a massive fire in a fuel depot (thankfully there were no fatalities), ultimate players were already up and stuck in the resulting traffic jam!.
A fire was also burning at Wandsworth where Fire of London held off the efforts of Discuits, Clapham and Fever to continue their march to the Open title. A "Team Shark-esque" Discuits edged out Clapham in sudden death to take second place, but how will they fare next time around without the Oxford players who had joined the party to commemorate/celebrate the return to Jon "Boston" Palmer back to the States? Lower down UCL will be pleased that, after winning promotion in MatchDay1, they defeated No-Lo to have another crack at the top teams. Joining them in January will be ABH, who defeated Strange Blue 10-7 to win Division 2. Newcomers Brunel Ultimate 2 will also be pleased to record their first victories in Winter League, taking down Thrown2 and OW!2 in the three-way battle of the second teams. LtdRelease gained revenge over Mixed MD1 victors Electric Mayhem by knocking them out in the semi-finals this time around. They then went on to defeat the Thundering Herd in the final - the Herd's first appearance in a Championship game. Whilst they will be disappointed with a 13-3 defeat, there's no doubt that once the Herd get a taste for something they always come back for more, so the top of the Mixed is going to be very interesting in the next two matchdays. Full results and overall standings are now available on the web: http://www.londonultimate/winerleague Don't forget to enter MD3 - entry deadline is 23 December (early because of Christmas!).
