Mixed Nats Update

Howdy Folks,

Just a quick update on the results for the Kaboom teams at mixed nationals. The team captained by Dave Young and Alica Daly bottomed out at 24th, after improving all tournament, and they picked up the spirit prize. Woo!

The Kaboom team run by Pete and Carrie Flynn established a reputation for punching above their weight, eventually finishing up 14. They pulled out a massive 13-12 win over Townsville's "Hand of God" who had taken half 8-3. Nat Cheong and Andrew Jackson kept the offense moving in the mid-field and Matt Morrison was dominant in the air all weekend.

And Kaboom 1, captained by Pete Hemphill and Jess Preston made a point of fighting back in tough games, winning their three sunday games by a total of 5 points, including a 15-14 win over Faf from Sydney after being down 12-5. Unfortunately, Faf had the last laugh, edging them out in the semis. They finished third after an epic scissors-paper-rock bout with Spider-Pig from Sydney.

Vintage from Victoria stomped all over Faf in the final to win the tourney. Anyway, I'm going to bed so I'll write something more detailed later.
