2012 Annual Report - Jesus College - University of Cambridge

112 SPORTS CLUBS I Jesus College Annual Report 2012
Ultimate Frisbee
At the beginning of this year the club was suffering one of the typical problems with
university societies with many of the members having moved on from the university.
However, an influx of talented and enthusiastic freshers brought the club back to life.
We came 10th out of 14 teams in Michaelmas term college league, an excellent result
for a team half composed of freshers. With the help of a few alumni players we won
Winter Cuppers, dominating all other teams until an extremely tough and hard fought
final against Trinity (who had a large number of university and alumni players).
Victory was a testament both to the talent that has passed though Jesus College over the
years and to the progress of those who only recently joined the team (who did most of
the scoring).
In Lent league we came 13th out of 15 teams and were awarded good spirit scores
by other teams, showing that teams enjoyed playing us and felt we knew the rules
(an important priority in a sport which is self-refereed and often a problem with newer
teams). Poul Alexander played with the second’s team at Regionals. Megan Davies
Wykes played with the University Women’s Team at regionals and nationals (indoors
and outdoors) and Varsity and is to receive a half-blue for Ultimate Frisbee.
The new captain for next year will be Chris de-Leeuwe, who’s commitment in coming
to every match (even when injured) was exemplary. It is hoped that the team will go from
strength to strength, building on the strong sporting heritage of Jesus College.
