Secondly, if you ever go to a party at Neal's place, you'll be sure to witness his uncanny finesse with the law enforcement. Inevitably, the police arrived at Neal's flat late into Friday evening, and per usual, he was let off with a warning. However, that warning did not come until after Neal had the police set the volume for the music. Neal also proceeded to invite both of the police to stay for a few drinks, and he called the female one cute. Way to be smooth.
A night of contrasts delivered us two finalists for the 2008 Autumnal League. On Field One, White and Blue played out an epic, enthralling contest that was worthy of the competitiveness that has defined this season. Meanwhile, on Field Two, Black Rain dished out the kind of shellacking that Muhammad Ali would have been proud of. Given that a spot in the Championship Final was up for grabs in both games, the difference was all the more remarkable.
We’ve had 11 rounds of the HKUPA 2008 Autumnal League Season and with just one round left to go, it’s frightfully close. Yes, you heard right. It’s so fantastically close that I’m forced to use f words.
Politics took a back-seat this week as the game of Ultimate itself rose to the occasion and delivered a powerful reminder of why we love it so much. 2 brilliantly competitive games saw the bottom 2 sides defeat the top 2 sides to leave the entire league delicately balanced. With 3 rounds to go, just one win separates the top and bottom sides, and every team has beaten every other team at least once. Only one conclusion can be drawn: ANY team is in with a shot to take home the HKUPA 2008 Autumnal League Championship.
