Our 10th season of summer league came to a succesful conclusion on
Saturday. Congratulations to Captains Scott and Tanja and the whole
Daisy crew for winning the championship over a game Rickshaw/Brown
squad. Our best wishes go out to Bill Delgaudio of Daisy who ended up
in the hospital with a concussion, but not before making perhaps the most
amazing catch in ripul history. It was 10-9 Daisy versus Blue Velvet,
Daisy is like 10 yards from a score when a flick goes up that is
slightly behind the intended receiver Bill. Nat of Blue poached off
his man and cut in front and seemingly got a piece of the disc. Next think
I saw was Bill getting run over from behind by another Blue player but somehow,
I don't know how, the disc was in Bill's hand for the winning score, as he was
lying on the ground unconscious. Oh, it's true, it's true.
Congrats also to all the award nominees (http://ripul.org/awardNominees2005.html).

Female Toby: June Park (Blue Velvet) Male Toby: Brian Thurber (Blue Velvet) Most Improved Female: Hannah Vu (Daisy) Most Improved Male: Donnelley Roberts (Rickshaw - Brown) Cory Award: Andrew Dixon (Hot Damn - Red) We are going to hold a RIPUL Improvement meeting this Monday August 22nd at

Cilantro Restaurant, 123 Weybosset St in Providence. All are welcome and encouraged to attend. Come voice your opinions and suggestions on how to improve RIPUL to make it even more awesome. Food is cheap and good. Current and former captains are highly encouraged to come. Right now, there is a pickup game on Tuesday and Thursday night at 6:00 PM on the track at Hope High in Providence. There is also a pickup game on Wednesday at URI at 6:00 PM. If you want to stay abreast of pickup, you should join the ripul yahoogroups, it is free to sign up. We are also going to have beach ultimate at narragansett town beach
