Welcome Back!

Holidays are coming to an end and our uni classes are about to start but the good news is we can get back to playing a bit of ultimate every Thursday afternoon!

We have a lot going on during O-week. Starting off with a little something new …. International O-Day Demonstration Game! We’re hosting this open event on Tuesday 28^th from 10:30am – 1pm at the Square with SUSF putting on a BBQ. Please RSVP either on our Facebook event https://www.facebook.com/#!/events/239755452778963/ so we can get an idea of numbers.  

In keeping with tradition, we will have our O-Week stall running from Wednesday 29^th February– Friday 2^nd March so come down, renew your membership and have a chat with our new recruits.  Our stall is in front of the law building on Eastern Avenue.

We will hold our Learn-to-Play session on Thursday the 1^st March at the Square from 2-6pm with free pizza and drinks! It would be great to get as many of our returning members down for the  session  as possible to help our new members pick up the sport. Don't forget to then join us after for our first social of the year, the ‘SUUFA Classic’.

Look forward to seeing you at one (or all) of these events!

AUGs 2011

Congratulations to the SUUFA AUG team who, after some tough games and key wins against Adelaide and Newcastle,placed 5th at the tournament. This means SUUFA will remain in Division 1 for next year!

Eastern Uni Games. Sydney Uni Strikes Silver - Again!

This year SUUFA sent both an Elite and Development team to compete (and party) for the 5-day tournament. The Development team, captained by Hayley Lambert and Janek Savage, did very well placing 8^th out of the 13 teams. The Elite team, led by Phil White and Sarah Hammer, stormed through the competition and made it to the Final against Macquarie. Both teams were at their peak, but unfortunately, it was Macquarie that won the day, 10-6, taking out the gold. SUUFA came a respectable second and can’t wait to meet Macquarie again for a re-match!

Sydney Uni IV Wrap Up!

On the 29th of May, thirteen different university teams travelled out to the mud-splattered fields of Moore Park from as far as Canberra to take part in the Sydney Uni IV tournament. This year, many universities were able to gain the numbers in order to field two full teams, with Sydney Uni gaining enough interest to even submit three! As the teams battled it out on the muddy fields, Wollongong stole the win away from Newcastle, 6-5 at the end of the day. Sydney Uni Representative David Manescu was awarded the Most Valuable Male Player award with Geoa Geer from Macquarie Uni, taking it for the girls. UNSW 2 displayed on-field sportsmanship heads above the rest and was awarded the spirit award.
