My teammate Ray Ray wants to tell everybody about beach ultimate TONIGHT at 6 
at Scarborough:  Alright people, it's time. Someone finally flipped the 
switch on summer, and that can only mean one thing- beach ultimate. Come play 
ultimate 
until you're breaded with sand and sweat and then jump in the Atlantic 
and body surf to cool off. If that doesn't sound like good fun to you, 
someone musta given ya' a funectomy!

When: Thursdays, 6ish.
Where: Scarborough Beach (north end)

Directions to Scarborough from points north:
95 S to 4 S, which becomes route 1. Shortly after the Wakefield exit, 
take the 108 S, Point Judith exit. Follow signs to Point Judith and 108 
until you are on 108 S.  A couple of miles down, there's a light and a

RESULTS FROM MONDAY JUNE 23rd

GOLD 17 SKY 13
(Ryan M. of Gold)

The first really beautiful day for ultimate resulted in a great game
between Gold and Sky.  Gold started quickly scoring the first two
points, but Sky responded and both teams traded points till it was
5-4 in favor of Sky.  Gold scored the next couple of points and
looked strong until Sky came out with a Zone D.  This slowed the pace
of the game considerably as Gold had to work hard to gain some
yardage.  The teams once again traded points until Gold took the half
at 9-8.

Sky came out strong in the second half taking 3 of the first 4
points.  With the score at 11-10 in favor of Sky, Gold inched its way
back, again working against a solid Zone D.  Gold finally got some
good flow on Zone O with a sneaky huck and one break of the cup and
took the score to 13-12 in their favor.  A couple of points were
traded to bring the score to 14-13 Gold.  Gold finished out the game
strong taking the last three points helped by hard man-D.

Within minutes after the game Sky approached Gold with a cheer that
left Gold's jaws on the floor.  Gold had no choice but to concede the
cheer.

No superstars in this game.  Just a lot of spirit and solid play from
both teams.  Everyone played hard and there were plenty of great
hucks and D blocks from both teams.  Higlights included a huck from
Toohey to a Matty (Sky), a second-throw D-block and immediate score
by Eric on Sky, intimidation D by Kate on Gold, and numerous hucks
from Jeff Fleischaker (Gold).

ORANGE 17 GREEN 16
(Jeff P. of Green)

Green came on strong early and took a 2-0 lead. 
Points were traded until the end of the first half
with Green up 7-5 they scored twice and took half 9-5.
Green was lead by strong over all play from their
Co-captains Scott Martin and Vette.  

The second half was dramatic.  Orange made adjustments
and came out firing.  They cut the lead to 1 in a
matter of minutes.  At 9-8, Orange's Co-captain Mike
Franz forced a turn with a layout D and his team
quickly scored, tying the game 9-9.  Green's Tarek
Al-Hamdouni scored the next point after a big D at
mid-field by Marion Murray and Orange's momentum was
slowed.  However I managed to give the momentum right
back to them after my mark was broken for the 27th
time.  On the next point Orange got trapped on the
corner and the disc was turned over with a stall
count.  Green's Krissy Loening beat her defender to 
the force side and scored in traffic.  Krissy looked
unguardable on the next point and she scored again
(12-10 Green). I'm not sure what happened next other
than Orange scored (12-11).  The next point was one of
the longest of the day and ended with a score by
Green's  Capt. Vette.  Then points were traded
bringing the score 16-14.  I'm trying to forget what
happened next so to summarize, Orange scored 3
straight and won the game 17-16.

Orange- John Ly's defense was big all day.  Ethan
Leland played well all around.  Bob Yokota and Mike
Franz caused problems for Green all day with their
defense and their long game.

Green- Dave Rosenberg was matched up against strong
defenders but managed to give Green strong handling. 
Green's woman are not to be trifled with and had
another great day.  Captains Vette and Scott played
strong D and O.  

MAROON 17 NATURAL 15

BLACK 17 DENIM 13

WEDNESDAY JUNE 25th RESULTS:

Sky 17 Black 10

Sky was hungry after its defeat on Monday came out flying to a 4-0 lead.  
Black bounced back with some good zone D by Lucky and Nat burning some slow fat 
guy for a score.  Undaunted, Sky regrouped and played tight man D generating 
many turnovers.  Their zone D was less effective.  Once again, Sky had problems 
punching it in near the opponent's goal.  2nd half saw better flow and 
decision-making by Sky.  major props to Sky's women who played 4-3 versus Black's 5-2 
most of the night.  Andrea C. and Sarah C. made some nice cuts and kali and 
Erin were solid handling.  Sky's the limit.

NATURAL 17 ORANGE 8
(Captain tanja of Naked)

> Naked rattled off a quick 6-1 lead to start off this sweaty but great 
> spirited game. Orange played hard but was plagued by turnovers; solid O, numerous 
> D's, and hard running brought Naked to take half at 9-4. Orange came out of 
> half pumped up and more aggressive, earning themselves a few nice hucking 
> scores and one point scored after an incredibly patient, seemingly endless series 
> of throws 10 yards in front of the endzone. But Naked continued to dump, 
> swing, catch and throw as everything fell into place and brought them to win the 
> game 17-8. Great playing by all- Ed Beshers of Naked had hot D and many 
> great long runs; Paul Albert had 2 excellent D's that could have been Callahan's  
> were it not for Paul's enthusiasm for smashing the disc into the ground; 
> Kristie Woo and Tanja Gronholm of Naked played solid and savage; the fearsome 
> Orange Mike Franz-Maureen McCarthy combo had the Naked women always running 
> deep; and Bob Yakota had an excellent offensive game as well as a hot layout D.

GOLD 17 DENIM 13
(Andre of Gold)

It was finally nice and warm, but both teams were missing some key personal 
which didn't really help with all the long points that were played.  The 
action often alternated between kinda sloppy and kinda brilliant, and 
attracted many mosquitos as spectators.

Gold jumped out to any early lead, but had trouble closing things out all 
game.  Denim scored multiple times with the score 8-3 and 15-10 right when 
it seemed like gold was rolling.  The score was 9-5 at half.

Great ups on denim from Ethan and Larry --- both used their jumping ability 
to score over gold defenders in a humbling fashion.  Good handling from the 
Denim women too.  Gold also got good participation from their women as I 
think all of them scored at least once.

Ther were lots of turnovers in the second half from both teams, but both 
kept playing hard through some long points.  The star of the final point was 
Ryan Mrrrrrrrchk who had a got fully extended for a layout d and then later 
in the series threw the game winning pass on sweet outside-in forehand down 
the line.
