Broccoli vs UCD

"From the other side of the fence"
By: Niall Harbourne

When the fixture list originally surfaced it looked like the last day of Winter League 06’ could produce some cracking matches that would surely decide the destination of the trophy. However with the Chimps off nursing injury and sickness and unable to field a team the league was over as a contest but the young guns of Chilli–O could stop the Broc from taking the Grand Slam.

Al Murray returned from across the pond in an attempt to jump on the League winner’s bandwagon. Would his recent training with Crapham Ultimate stand to the Broc or would his poor attitude and general unspirited ways upset the balance ???

Conditions were perfect for ultimate and it was Broccoli who started strong taking a 2 – 0 lead. The students from Belfield then came back and got a foot hole in the game by scoring the next 2 points.

Both teams put everything into the game and it really showed by the effort put into D. Big bids and even bigger catches seemed to be the order of the day, with Keysie showing everyone how it was done by taking a huge disc in the corner after Niall got a full hand on it in an attempted lay out D.

Broccoli started to Dominate proceedings on the scoreboard by playing some lovely quick transition offence. The half ended 7 – 3.

The second half saw more of the same with broccoli edging closer and closer to victory despite the students best efforts. The arrival of Padraig gave UCDD more options and his impact was immediate by taking down a lovely disc in the Broc end zone. However this would be the last score of the game for the team in white as the greens tagged on a couple more scores to run out winners 11 – 4.
