This Saturday saw the first ever national tournament for junior women. At one stage it looked as though 11 teams may compete, but 5 teams was a good starting point for this tournament which will hopefully expand and run annually. With most players having only started playing Ultimate in the last couple of months, the standard of Ultimate was surprisingly high. In the round robin stage, Ocelots 2 lost all their games but most by just a single point. At the top was a three way tie between Deva (Chester), Ocelots 1 (Malpas) and Catch Those (Wallasey). Ocelots and Catch Those had the better goal difference and met once again in the final. Catch Those ran out 10-6 winners showing that 6th form netballers who only started playing Ultimate 2 weeks ago were better on the day than the more experienced but much younger Ocelots. The spirit vote was also a 3 way tie between Arthur Terry, Ocelots 2 and Deva with Ocelots 2 just getting the nod, possibly for having so many 11 year olds in the team.
With so many players eligible for GB Girls next summer and virtually all the others eligible for GB Junior Women, the standard of junior women's ultimate is set to rocket.
