If anything was gained from that loss, our team made sure to learn from it, and work towards the future. We learned from that experience, grew together as teammates, continued to play together over the winter that followed and through the summer. We worked on team drills, communication skills and our fitness levels as a whole, so that we would be a better, stronger and more dominant force this time around on the ultimate frisbee circuit. We planned on coming out with both guns blazing.
Although there were challenges due to the autumnal weather pattern (it had rained eariler, and winds were gusting to 50km/hr at certain points in the evening, making longer, accurate throws of the 175g disc more difficult) our team pulled it together after half-time, when the end zone change favored flow in our direction (thanks to our captain for the strategic choice on the toss, by the way). By games end, we had a decisive victory (14-8) over our opponents, Totes McGoats (a coincidence another goat themed team like yours truly raised to the challenge this season?!).
Congratulations Buttermilk on the well earned 2015 championship season. Hopefully, we can keep it going through the winter and summer leagues to come in 2016. I'm already looking forward to facing our respective division rivals '99 Problems' and 'The Hive'.
Sure, silver was sweet (last year), but this year I must admit, I like the gold better :)
