Leamington Lemmings, Royal Leamington Spa’s only Ultimate Frisbee team, turns three this year. From the tiny acorns planted by one Lucas Hillson one sunny September in 2006, the team has grown, developed and flourished at an astronomical rate and now boasts a throng of achievements that are really quite impressive for an ultimate club still in its relative infancy. As has been seen with their Tour form this year, Leamington Lemmings are more than a force to be reckoned with and have truly made their presence felt by getting to the Open B Tour semi final and a marvellous top 16 finish at Mixed Tour.
The Lemmings have a fully elected committee that prove time and time again that they are willing to go above and beyond for their needs team. This is represented by the sheer number of tournaments that you will see the familiar black and white shirts of Leamington being worn proudly and always showcasing the very best in the spirit of the game, as proven by spirit wins at Sunburn, LUCRE and Great Barr Crawl. Here at the Leamington Lemmings we accept all comers, from the young to the old (We love you Unky P) and from the vastly experienced to the people that have never picked up a disc before. We just want to convey our love of Ultimate to all and sundry that will give us the time of day and if you have ever been to one of our vibrant and vivacious training sessions, you will certainly realise that sentiment to be true. There is also a very strong coaching base providing the infrastructure of the team that helps beginners and newcomers to the team find their feet and up their game quicker than they ever thought possible. For instance, regulars such as Charlie (predominantly from Evolution) and Rachel ‘Pammer’ McCulloch are enjoying being part of GB 2nds. The possibilities are endless when if comes to our Ultimate team, so who knows were YOU might end up. Already in our short life as an ultimate team we have staged the very well renowned, revered and celebrated Leamington Luau where we accommodate both experienced and beginners’ teams and also the LUCRE tournament, which they won, where all the proceeds for the tournament went to providing aid for Cancer Research. We aren’t just a team that plays our sport well, but a team that cares deeply about causes in our community. Not even the continent is safe from the Lemmings wrath as for the past couple of years they have taken at least two teams to the wonderful Burla Beach Cup tournament in Viareggio, Italy. So if marrying the wonderful game of Ultimate with the beautiful sun kissed beaches of Italia sounds like magic to you, we are ready to welcome you with open arms to our team. Incidentally, it is more than worth mentioning that out of all the teams in our division in the 2008 tournament, they came 3rd in spirit, once again proving their fantastic spirit credentials and being perfect ambassadors for UK ultimate. With regular Open A tour players now regularly attending their training sessions who know what dizzy heights these bunch of talented rascals will reach next year? Could Fire of London and Chevron Action Flash’s days be numbered? Well, who knows, but what is a certainty is that this dedicated bunch of lads and lasses intend to make an even bigger impression this coming year. See you all at a tournament soon!
