The Ultimate Success

Southampton Skunks, the university’s Ultimate Frisbee team, are celebrating one of their most successful starts to the season in recent history.

Finishing in the top 3 in both Open and Women’s Regionals and qualifying for both divisions of Indoor Nationals.

The Open squad took a first team of 8 to Plymouth to compete against other BUCS Western teams and after narrowly losing to eventual runners-up Bath, thrashed Bristol in the qualification final, to take third place and secure a spot at Nationals in Manchester at the end of the month.

The Women’s squad had a great weekend here in Southampton. After losing a hard-fought semi-final against Chichester they went on to beat a strong UWE/Portsmouth combined team to land in the top 3, and proved the club’s strength and depth. Skunks Women also won the ‘Spirit of the Game’ prize for the best fair play and sportsmanship, a fantastic achievement. They will be competing in Women’s Nationals in December.

Well Done Skunks!
