The first two days of games are over for the two under 23s teams. In the open division the Goannas have had 2 wins and 1 loss. The beat Italy first up 17-3, then lost to Canada 14-12, then beat Sweden 17-8. Apparently local heartthrob AJ caught a Callahan goal in the last game. (I'm not sure what the rules are in league at the moment, but in international tournaments if a player catches the frisbee in their scoring endzone that's a goal, even if they were on defense. A Callahan is just such a goal, where you're playing D all the way down in your opponent's endzone and manage to catch an intercept. It's considered a pretty awesome thing to do.)
As for the women's divison, the Stingrays won their first two games 17-0 against Germany and Ireland, which is a great way to start the tourney. In their last game they went down 17-15 to Japan.
