First NUT is a success!!!!

Last Saturday at ISK was the first ever Nairobi Ultimate Tournament.

Over 50 people gathered around the disc to play an exciting tournament where spirit, participation and competition met to make the NUT a great experience. The organizers of the 2006 NUT would like to thank you for your participation in Nairobi's first-ever Ultimate Frisbee Tournament

We are already looking forward to NUT 2007 and we welcome any comments you might have about how NUT 2007 chould be run differently than this year's version. We will also consider holding clinics and other special events in between time for those of you looking to pollish your technique or strategy.

We sincerely hope that all of you will join us every Friday (at ISK, 16:00 - 18:00) for great weekly Ultimate that is full of good spirit and plenty of running. The calibre is usually a little higher than what we saw on Saturday, but beginners don't worry, we introduce new folk gently. So come on out and join us, get some exercise, and have some fun. Heck, bring a friend!

Thank you once again.


The REDS
From the six colourfull teams, The Reds came out strong and were the winners of this first edition of the NUT. Red and Grey teams gave us a good show in the final, as the Grey team came back from a 0-3 deficit to tie it up at 3-3, with Bobby pulling off the catch of the tournament to score after Mike had batted away the original pass.
Unfortunatly for them the Red team had more energy to finally close the game by a score of 7-5. Bravo!

In addition to contributing to a full day of Ultimate, you helped us raise KSH 30,000 for Dawn of Literacy and build the profile of Ultimate in Nairobi. Steve gets an honourable mention (and a keychain when we see him next) for wearing the best hat to our hat tournament. Recognition for the person that took their time under pressure and did not rush their actions goes to cook who did the burgers during lunchtime.


Thanks to all the players. It was great fun
