This weekend saw 14 teams compete in the 3rd ever U17s national indoor championships held once again in Malpas, Cheshire. Pre-tournament favourites Airbadgers had a tough choice as half of them played in open regionals and qualified for nationals in Sheffield; but they chose U17s while their team mates were busy in Sheffield showing just how far junior ultimate has progressed. Airbadgers and Artic both showed up with 4 teams with both managing to field a team of year 7s to compete for the U13s title which went once again to Exeter.
The semis were well fought contests with Artic 1 convincingly beating Airbadgers 2 and Crazy Apes (Leicester) giving Airbadgers 1 a run for their money, but lost 10-4. The final started well for Artic, taking a 1-0 lead, then a 2-1 lead before Airbadgers stepped up a gear to score something like 14 points without reply. The final score was 16-3. 1 Airbadgers 1 (Exeter) 2 Artic 1 (Sutton Coldfield) 3 Crazy Apes (Leicester) 4 Airbadgers 2 (Exeter) 5 Manor 1 (York) 6 Artic 2 (Sutton Coldfield) 7 Airbadgers 3 (Exeter) 8 Ocelots 1 (Malpas, Cheshire) 9 Manor 2 (York) - Plate 10 Artic 3 (Sutton Coldfield) 11 Ocelots 2 (Malpas, Cheshire) 12 Airbadgers 4 (Exeter) 13 Artic 4 (Sutton Coldfield) 14 OAPs (Coaches) Spirit went to Manor 1, narrowly edging out Ocelots 1 and Airbadgers 1 MVP of tournament went to Joe Wynder (Crazy Apes), narrowly beating Josh Kyme and Ed Hammand (Airbadgers) U13s Champions - Airbadgers Junior Girls champions - Cheshire Thanks to everyone who came, especially the coaches and teachers who seem to be giving up more and more weekends.
