Suspects and Hammocks Remain Perfect
June 4, 2009

As it seems that global warming is not working to heat things up in Sarnia this June, the Sarnia Ultimate Frisbee league took matters into their own hands with a night of hot disc action at Lansdowne Field Thursday evening. The first week of regular season play brought about some fiery competitions, including a seesaw marathon match-up between the Huckstables and the Megalomaniacs. The two teams played many stretched out and scorching points back and forth to half time, with an almost even score as the sun began to fade and other teams began to finish. The Megalomaniacs were just starting to warm up however, and made some incredible late game plays including a searing catch by April Brethauer which included a slide, and large grass stain. The Megalomaniacs eventually won the match-up just before sun-down 15-11.

Also at Lansdowne, the blistering Banana Hammocks let it all hang out as they battled Hungate’s Mom.  With Hungate’s Mom up 8-7 at the half, The Banana Hammocks solved their opponent’s defensive zone, outscoring them 8-3 in the second half.  The deciding factor of the game as the strength of the Banana Hammocks’ women, who combined to score the majority of the points.  Rookies Michael Raiger and Jacob White had strong games for the respective teams.  The Banana Hammocks are also particularly proud of last year's captain Jen Graham, who has surpassed her attendance record from all of last year, making the first 4 games so far.

The Suspects claimed a quick victory over the Bulldogs 15-7 with only one sub for the entire team.  Brain Thorne had an incredible defensive game for the Suspects while adding 4 points on offence.  Amy Hogervorst also put 4 points up on the board.  Team captain Kevin Brown had a great handling game throwing 14 of 15 Suspects points.

At Canatara Park Red Army took on Delusions of Grandeur, who seem to have an intense match-up every week. Red Army came close to victory, but unfortunately lost a bitter contest 13-15.
