Last weekend the crazy weather in Canberra finally let up and we had a great sunny weekend for our annual hat tournament, Diskapital. Six teams were formed on the day with a mix of the usual suspects, a contingent of out-of-towners (including Sammy "Sweet Cheeks" Ogden, all the way from Adelaide, and Felix from Tasmania) and a bunch of new players and up-and-comers from within the ACT.
The standard of play on Saturday looked good, with all teams able to move the disc around pretty freely and everyone seemed able to contribute. The by final on Sunday, though, fatigue was starting to show with everyone slowing down a bit. In the end, the team that still had the legs to run hard pulled out a huge comeback victory to win the game. Unfortunately, I don't know the names of either of the teams, but basically the tall team beat the short team, but not by virtue of their height. I was much too busy listening to the Soma crew singing tight a capella versions of 90s dance anthems to really know what was happening on the field.
Congratulations and thanks to Soma for hosting the tournament. Everything looked really well organised and smoothly run and there seemed to be plenty of work put in to make the tournament a success. Each field even had its own shade tent. Nice. With good weather, a laid back atmosphere and great fields it was great weekend for all.
