On the road in Yosemite

Hey Folks,

Quick update from the road in California.  The Dingos have had an eventful 24 hours with an expedition to Yosemite National Park.  We stayed in "tee-pee" style tents at Groveland just outside the park ... kind of what I imagine Graceland would have been like if Elvis had of had 6 teeth, played the banjo and wasn't such a ladies man.  

We managed to test ourselves mentally, physically and possibly even spiritually as the team faced not only an 8 mile hike up the imposing "half dome" but finished the day with a discussion about what it means to be a dingo and what our expectations for the pretour are after a big night out the evening before.  The team really came together after this discussion.  This pretour is proving to provide the opportunities to play against elite level US teams and to become a really solid Dingo unit.  

Light relief for the day was provided by the Tatham, Denyer, A. Dowle, Holmes group in the race to the top of Half Dome.  Slowing to the back of the peleton to take a couple of photos, this group lost the main pack and one wrong turn and 6 miles of hiking later the four of us realised we were on the wrong ridge, on the wrong side of the valley, about 10 miles from the top of Half Dome where the other 20 dingos were ... the word D'oh sprang to mind.  Still we got some great photos of the Dome - as Tatham said "you can't take a photo of the dome while you're standing on the dome"  Both the official hike the Dome and the alternative hike-the-other-mountain-so-we-can-look-at-the-Dome were really impressive.

The magnificent view to Half Dome (at left) from the Tatham-Denyer-Dowle-Holmes Route.

Who would want to climb that thing anyway?

Tonight we head to LA to play the Santa Barbara Condors.  We are playing in the imposing sounding Patterson Football Fields at Occidental College ... playing on astroturf which will be unusual for many of the Dingos, but it is another challenge to be overcome and another scalp that we want to take on our pretour.

California Dreamin'

After swallowing the disappointment of the loss to JAM like a massive sea gherkin the Dingos got back on the wagon today with a convincing victory over another top quality US team - Revolver.  This is the other strong Bay Area team, made up with some Stanford college kids and some wiley old hands.  Dingos from the '04 Kaimana team will remember some of the guys who were on the Stanford team that beat us at that tournament.  Revolver has beaten JAM on a number of occasions this year and are looking to try to break into the semis at UPA nationals this year.

The Dingos were hungry for the game and bolted out of the gates with 3 defensive points in a row.  Blocks from Taylor, Matzuka and Holmes got the dogs on a roll and the Revolver offense was on the back foot.  The American's game was based around short, athletic handler types, relying on a couple of very fast receivers as their main go to guys but the monster Dingo defense was effective at shutting down all but the dinky little inside out throws that Seppo teams have come to love and use quite effectively.

In the second half, the Revolver lads had a bit of a comeback, generating some turns with hard running D, but generally the offensive juggernaut that is Dingo O rolled over the top.  Wavey Dave O'Brien had a really solid game, a couple of excellent "one pass" points where he hucked for goals.  Ant Dowle took some nice overhead grabs, Lavis and Tatham were strong all over the field.

Overall, an impressive rebound from yesterday's defeat and great to get the Dingos on the board with the first US scalp of the pre-tour.  

Even better than the win was the hospitality shown by our humbled hosts.  The Revolver lads turned out a massive feast of cold beer, steak, barbequed hotdogs and hamburgers, burritos filled with 24hr slow cooked pork tastiness ... mmmm slow cooked pork.  It was great to hang around after the game, chat to some of their players and eat some really fantastic food.  Nice work to all involved in that one.

We now have 48hrs of quality rest which will see us head to Yosemite National Park to hike "the Half Dome" before we head to Santa Barbara to play against the Condors.

Evening folks.

So we've been playing some ultimate here in San Francisco, but we've been doing some other stuff too.

We jumped off the plane and organised some vans to get around. Driving along the freeways north from the airport was a good way of taking in the lie of the land quickly. We arrived at the City College campus and threw the disc around on an artificial football field - very spongy. It is situated on the side of a hill and is open to a lot of wind. The temperature might have hit 15 degrees, but it felt more like 5 with the cool wind. Matt tried to explain the weather system hanging over the SF peninsula, but I didn't take it all in - something do do with hot air going up and cold air going down. So we've noticed that some spots in the bay area can be pretty cold, some areas pretty warm.

Later on Friday, our car (Owen, Dan, Joel and Ant and I) drove over to Golden State Park to play disc golf with Mike and Woody, our generous host. It is a permanent course in the middle of a huge and heavily wooded park. The course is a permanent addition to the park and well set up. It doesn't present the aquatic obstacles of the mac uni or queenscliff courses of Sydney, but was very challenging nonetheless. Pars were a rareity for us.

Saturday we drove to the city for some shopping before heading east over the bay bridge to Berkeley for an afternoon with Jam. Downtown Berkeley is pretty lively and welcoming. We shared a few pizzas and beers with the Jam lads (thanks Greg) before heading west again to the cooler climes of the city area. The night finished at Zeitgeist, a bar with a lot of character and patrons with an equally vibrant attitude.

More soon.

Game 1 - Pretour

Saturday 19th July 2008

Berkeley, California USA

After some earlier morning Golden Gate Bridge Gazing (or 'peering through the fog at a mass of cables hanging from the clouds' as it could more accurately be phrased) - the Holmes, Neild, Glover, Tatham, Lavis car unusually found itself at the fields before any other.  An unusual situation in anyone's book.

Tim Lavis "So what's the big deal about this bridge huh??"

The rest of the convoy arrived shortly after and before long our opposition:  San Francisco JAM arrived.  They had already called yellow for jersey colour, which suited us just fine as due to some form of "technical error" - see Gaia website for that one - we only had the green and green strip.  Still we looked mighty fine when we were all cleated up and ready to run.

JAM are a serious US team.  They made semi-finals at UPA nationals last year and are an established West Coast powerhouse.  

Dingos and JAM

The game began scrappily with some basic errors from both sides, and many of the Dingos looked like they had stepped off a 14hr flight yesterday ... which the majority of us had.  Things started to warm up when Tubby got a massive double handed high block between two seppos that took me back to the Yorsten block of 05 Nats final.  Our offense started clicking a bit better and we managed to take the first half 6-5 (halves being time capped at 45mins).  We decided to try out the Japanese zone we had been practiced, and with a high floaty pull and a hard run down, the JAM offense caught the disc, had a look at the zone, and called time out on stall 8 without throwing a pass.  The zone remains a work in progress, but certainly has potential to throw quality opposition off balance.

In the second half JAM begin applying greater pressure around the disc and on our downfield cutters.  Ken Shepherd was a standout, solid with disc in hand and two memorable 20-30m forehand into-the-wind forehand throws for goal.  Jonathan "Tats" Tatham came off the bench in the second half and was inspirational with his hard cutting and solid throws including a Newcastle special to Tim Lavis who skied some chump to take a very high goal.  

Things remained tight going point for point and before you knew it (well before this reporter/player realised it) it was timecap at JAM 11 - Dingos 10.  We finished the point with a score and it was game to 11.  I don't remember too much of the last couple of points, we made it to 12 all doublegame point and we were on D.  We came out on man and put a lot of pressure on every pass but a bladey hammer that split two dingos and somehow landed in the outstretched hands of a laying-out JAM player sealed the win for the locals.  

To say we were bitterly disappointed would be a gross understatement of the face Mike Neild gave me as we cooled down after the game.  Having said that, we were generally happy with how we played.  Our man-on-man defence was very strong across the board and the team is already starting to knit together into an even stronger unit.  

A highlight of the game today was the support from the Barramundis, who are in town and begin their pre-tour in the next couple of days.  It was fantastic to have some Aussie support on the sideline and it bodes well for Vancouver when there is going to be a massive Australian contingent.

Hospitality in San Fran has been sensational.  We contacted our billet by phone as we were driving to his address, the conversation went something like this:

Mike Neild - "So it's Mike from Australia here Seth ... how are you going"

Seth  " ........ "

Mike Neild "No.. no.. we're in San Fran now"

Seth "......"

Mike Neild "Yeah, so there's actually 5 of us ... not 3"

Seth "....."

Mike Neild "Well we were thinking of going out to dinner somewhere if you're keen to join us"

Seth "...."

Mike Neild ".....really"

Seth "...."

Mike Neild " ..... no ...  no none of us are Vegetarian"

Seth "...."

Mike Neild "well that sounds sweet, we'll see you in 20mins"

(hangs up)

Mike Neild - to the rest of the car - "so Seth's cooking us spicy sausage and rugala pasta sauce and we're all good to stay there."

Rest of car - "sweeeeeeet"

Dingos with wings

G'day folks

Its Saturday, its San Fransisco and its pretty exciting to be in town.

Over the last 48 hours the Dingos have said good bye to our family, friends and country to chase our Frisbee dreams.

We negotiated the 13 hour flight as individuals and small groups to arrive on Thursday and Friday up here in California. After a few individual detours we meet up as a team at the San Fransisco City College playing field for a team chat and throw around.

We are currently split up and staying with various members of the 2 teams that we will be playing this weekend. The generosity and hospitality of the international frisbee community is as always a pleasure to be on the receiving end of.

This afternoon we play our first tour game against West Coast powerhouse and 2007UPA semi final team San Fransisco JAM. We then have a match up on Sunday against the other top quality team here in town called Revolver.

We are eagerly anticipating these excellent opportunities to play as a team and build our confidence for the big show in early August.

We are all here safe and comfortable and looking forward to sharing some travel and frisbee stories soon.

Cheers

Mike

Dingo Tracks - June

G’day Dingo family and fans.

We are now within 40 days of the beginning of World Championships 2008 in Vancouver, and the Dingos have been working hard and growing strong.

During June we have been focussing on:

- nailing down our tactical systems and strategies

- getting all our injured teammates back onto the field

- continuing to build our strength and fitness

- and training as a team through a few warm up matches

The Dingos of 2008 feel like we are bringing a great mix of traditional well used strategies and some new and unseen systems to our Worlds campaign. Through the early weeks of June our defensive and offensive leadership groups finalised the range of tactics that we will use at Worlds. Throughout the month the team as a whole and our specific playing groups have been spending time gaining comfort and proficiency with these tactics.

Our Captain, Vice Captain and Coach have generated some exciting new systems that we hope will allow us to utilise our full playing strength to win games through intensity and running power.

In June our Captain Pottsy and our Vice Captain Hollywood Dowle both returned to the playing list in games against other teams. These two leaders have added much to the team dynamic both through their playing ability and their presence in huddles and during key moments in games. At our last training camp on the 21^st and 22^nd of June we warmed up as a group of 23 players and our 24^th was bouncing around on the side line so much that I’m sure we’ll see Tats back throwing bombs to the team within the next 2 weeks.

As we approach the end of the month the Dingos are increasing our focus on strength, speed and power. All the players are adding in additional plyometric power sessions, and we anticipate this helping us to improve our performance over the duration of the tournament. There are Dingos all over the country from Perth to Adelaide, down to Melbourne, Ballarat and Canberra, up through Wooloongong, Sydney, Newcastle and Brisbane. We are all out on cold (coldish up here in Brissy) winter nights running around tracks and drilling our bodies. We are working hard and felling strong.

During June we were fortunate to play a series of games as a team against both the Australian Masters team, the Australian Masters team including some current Barramundis and ex Dingos and last weekend the New Zealand Open team in a Worlds length (17 points, 100 mins) game.

We are very grateful for these opportunities to play games as a full squad and are confident that June as been a good month for our development as a team. Special thanks to the Kiwi boys who travelled over with half a team to play some intense games with us and the Taipan boys.

June has been a good month, we are fitter and strong than we were a month ago. We have better systems and are more comfortable with our strategies. Some highlights we are looking forward to in the next month will be hitting the Australian team Gala dinner in Sydney on the 5^th of July, spending a few weeks putting a cap stone on our physical training at home and then heading over to the states for a 2 week pre tour.

Thanks for reading folks, and thanks for your support. Continue to keep up to date with the Dingos here at our blog

Dingo Tracks - May

The Australian Mens Ultimate Frisbee Team Monthly Newsletter – May

May is a big month for the Dingo boys:

- We recovered from Nationals where the majority of us played four days of mud churning Frisbee.

- We have 2 training camps in Sydney during May, 1 at the start and 1 at the end.

- We also participated in the first of two National Ultimate Frisbee League (NUFL) events which was also held in Sydney.

- We played our first game together as the 2008 Dingo team, very exciting and a great opportunity.

- On top of this action all the boys participated in their own local team and personal training program.

Its all been happening, we are building.

One of the exciting aspects of the first camp at the beginning of May was the return of our two internationally inclined Dingos, Brett Matzuka and Andrew Glover both returned home from overseas in time for this training camp. Brett arrived back in the country on Saturday morning in time to chime in with a few great blocks during the second session.

Aside from the large number of blokes who finished the weekend on the sideline through injury issues this was a great camp. Some good strategy development occurred and we spent some quality time exploring our nutritional and psychological preparation under the tutelage of T. Booth. I think I would have been alright in the visualisation session if Tim didn’t keep telling us it was alright if something strange happened like a pink elephant arrived at the visualised game. As it was I had to keep catching forehand bombs over some gun elephant playing for Germany.

NUFL 1 provided the best 80 men in the country with an opportunity to play against each other while representing their club teams in a round robin style tournament. The Dingos where on show at this event playing for both their local club teams and in a Saturday afternoon showcase game against an All Star team composed of top quality players from the Mixed team and other great players from around the country.

The game was very tight in the first half with the All Stars getting up early with some excellent long connections before the Dingos steadied to take the half by 1. The second half had the Dingos switching right on and running out to win the game with only another point or two put on against them. We are very grateful for this opportunity to play as a team and look forward to a rematch at NUFL 2.

Our final camp during May is this weekend and it promises to be a fast and furious 2 days. Our Defensive and Offensive leadership teams have been solidified and have now created a series of team structures that we will continue to refine over the next 66 days. Most players are deep into their fitness programs and I anticipate a lot of speed and strength to be on display on the field.

With the last 2 weeks having seen some passionate and strong words from our team leadership and some inspirational visual and verbal stories from team members we are all very focussed on completing May with high intensity and dedication to our team mates and our team.

Thanks for reading and continue to follow us on our push towards Vancouver and some good things.

Cheers

Mike

NUFL 2008 – Let loose the (dingo) dogs of war

OK - so I just saw Owen's post. I still stand by my comments below which were written before I'd seen what he put up.

With less than 24hrs before the first NUFL game things are really starting to heat up in the preparation for Worlds. The five teams for NUFL 1 – Country, Barefoot, Fakulti, HoS and Firestorm are all very strong squads and each will be led from the front by a posse of bristling Dingos.

One of the ongoing challenges facing the Dingos in the lead up to Vancouver is the ability to play against quality opposition as a full squad. This was demonstrated quite graphically at the training camp last weekend when, despite the fact that this was the first time we had the full pack of 24 dingos together, by the end of the weekend there were only 16 fit dogs on the paddock.

Tomorrow afternoon will be a great opportunity for the men’s team as a Dingos-Allstars game is scheduled for 3pm. This promises to be a cracking match. It will be the first opportunity for the ’08 dingos to play together as a full squad, the majority of the men from the Mundis will have a hit out against their Dingo cousins, and just to add a little spice there will be quite a few players who narrowly missed out on both teams and will have plenty to prove.

The Allstars haven’t been selected yet, but here is my take on what the team could look like going off who has been registered on the afda tourney page:

Mundis: Al Don, JD, Adam Mortimer, Seb Barr, James Yorston.

A bit light on from the Mundis (Tex? Chilly/SA boys??), but these four should provide a solid base for the All Stars. JD is always a pain to mark, Al will be stepping it up and representing as you would expect from a newly elected Australian Captain, Seb and Adam will be generating a lot of the handler movement around the disc.

Best of the Rest:

Likely team members – Woodly, Cletus, Reuben, Jimmy T-H, Sacha Vidler, Tom Tulett, John McNaughton, Tom Watson, Fatty Faulkner, Kai, P Liddicoat.

I’m sure there will be a few other players out there on the team, but I reckon the above could do the job adequately (ie put up a bit of resistance and then roll over for the Dingo humping they were destined to get). The HoS boys – Wood, Rueben and Cletus along with Jimmy “n’ankles” Todd Hill will give some needed height to the Allstars and it will be good to see them tussling with the big Dingos like Ant Dowle, Tatham and Mike Nield. There is certainly plenty of speed with Fatty, Twatson, Kai “Quads” Wing Young and Yorston all quick across the turf. Cupcake, Johnny Mac and PLiddy will bolster the handling skills alongside the Mundi lads. Sacha Vidler will inject some much needed venom (verbal, physical and spiritual) into the Allstars and you can be sure he’ll be keeping the Dingo defenders on their toes.

There are a bunch of players here who must have only just missed out on a spot on either one of the rep teams and I’m expecting big games from them. Tom Watson apparently tore it up as a punching bag against the Mundis last weekend so watch out for him. Likewise, Rueben, Woodly and Johnny Mac should be fired up for the contest.

Keep your eye out for the mouth-watering explosive powder-keg of a Liddicoat v. Liddicoat match up. Mmmmm powder-keg. Other match-ups that will be good to see will be Johnny Mac v. Hobbit, Glover v. Quads, Lavis v. Don and Fatty v. whoever is holding the disc.

This should be a really impressive game. I’m expecting a close and hard fought first half, but the Dingos will pull away in the second half and should win 15-9 if you want me to put a figure on it. To see if I’m wrong, come down to Centennial Park at 3pm Saturday May 17^th.

See you there,

Jonno.

PS The above smack talk and posturing is all speculation. I have no idea who will be on the All-star teams so sorry if I’ve offended or missed anyone. If you want some personal smack talk, come see me any time you like.

First game together

The Dingos are well into their 2008 campaign.

We have our first game as a team this weekend. The Dingos will be playing an All-Star game during the NUFL1 tournament.

The All-Star team should be a great opposition with many Barramundis and up-coming talents on board.

The Dingos are aiming to put into practise their tactics, role structure, playing time management, and sideline noise.

Spectators are welcome to attend: 3pm Saturday at Centennial Park, Soccer Field 3 (this is at the western side of the Park, on Grand Dr).

The All-Star team is:
Al Don (Captain)
John Damiani
John McNaughton
Max Wheeler
Adam Mortimer
Nick Renwick
Seb Barr
James Yorston
Lachlan McDonald
Mark Isherwood
Sam Schroeder
Stephen Johnson
Kai Young
Matt Faulkner
Rueben Berg
Stu Austin

We can only hope the All-Star team has a better uniform than the Dream Team that played Victoria in the AFL tribute match last weekend.

The Dingo April Newsletter

The Dingos started April by finishing March, and we finished March with a 2 day training camp in Sydney. This was our first official training camp post selection, we did manage to fit in a cheeky bonding camp during February however this time the cleats were out and there were no sand dunes, ping pong tables or clay blow pipes in sight.

We had a number of administrative tasks to knock over during the training camp and we successfully completed the following:

elected Matt Dowle to be our vice captain and work with our previously elected captain Jonathon Potts

welcomed our new coach Rueben Berg to the Dingo team

voted on a couple of Kenny’s uniform options (the green shorts look to be the go this time around)

made some key decisions about our pre-tour of the states, 2 weeks in San Fran, Vegas and Colorado hopefully playing some great U.S. teams

discussed some extra support team members who will join us on our pre-tour and at the tournament. Alex Chadwick, Emma Booth and a yet to be appointed local North American physiotherapist will all be involved with getting the team physically and mentally prepared to play at our peak during late July and August

shared progress with our individual training goals from March and outlined our personal focus areas for the month of April.

One of the things of note that came from the camp for me was that everyone there over the weekend felt like a Dingo. At the bonding camp back in February there were rookies and returning players, leaders and learners – all selected to play for Australia however not all yet Dingos. On the field and during team discussions at the first training camp all the blokes there held the same value as Dingos, we all carry the hopes and prospects of each other, we all need to believe and work hard to succeed. It’s was a good feeling.

Since the start of April the Dingos have been back in their regional areas building for Worlds (and Nationals on the side) in their own special way. The gimps have been getting to know their Swiss balls better, many blokes have been in the gym (or the park with big rocks) working on their cores, rotators and extensors, the track sessions have started and training reports have been going up on the training blog and spreadsheet.

It is a little hard to be fully focussed on either worlds or nationals during April, as I think most of us have the attention of our hearts and minds split a little on each (the proportion may depend on how competitive your nationals team is). None the less if you are watching you will see the vast majority of the Australian Mens team working hard down in Coffs Harbour next weekend.

• Steve and Tim will making it happen Wollongong style.
• Paul will be cutting all weekend I expect with the Sublime boys.
• Anthony, Matthew, Pete and Ken will be running lessons on field 1 with Fakulti.
• Abra, Gus, Gav and Dave will welcome Tubs back on the Barefoot team thanks to some focussed rehab of his damaged knee (frisbee lifestyle injury I think).
• Jonno will be involved in a kind of imposing Canberra team, explain that.
• Tim, Chris and Tats will be doing the business for the I beam boys.
• John L will be defending the national title with one of the two Chilly teams.
• I’ll be seeing what we can get out of the youth (Frisbee wise, not age wise) of Queensland on a Firestorm team.
• Joel is hopeful of being back on the field and leading Karma from the front.
• Dan and Owen will be working desperately to defend their number 1 seeding with Heads of State.
• Brett and Andrew are currently overseas and so will be drinking protein shakes, running around in circles and throwing forehands into the wind somewhere.
• And Pottsy will be coaching the Newcastle women and doing a lot of swimming in order to get his ankle right and keep his enthusiasm to play managed.

So that is the Dingos in April, we’ve been training, thinking, I know I had at least 1 dream, and generally laying the ground work for what we hope will be a great year of achievement for our team, and all the Australian teams heading over to the World Ultimate and Guts Championships 2008.

Thanks for reading. We’ll be back with some more news in May.

The Dingos will see you at Nationals.

Mike

A pretty good day

A brief report on our exploits today in Seattle:
 
We played three games against Sockeye (Seattle), aXe (Portland) and Furious George (Vancouver).  First games as a full squad with the arrival of Lachie and Mike, although we were missing Gus (finger) and Chris (hammy).
 
Our household got up pretty early (mostly) and got ready to go.  Eventuallt Tom emerged and we started to harass him about him making us late and the fact that we were all ready.  All good until Johnno decided he had lost our car-keys.
 
Ten minutes and much ribbing from Tom later, we found the keys and were on the road.  40 minute drive out to the fields, we stopped at a supermarket for directions and to buy lunch.  Tom's car pfaffed around, we hit the checkout with armloads of food and Tom was still wandering around the aisles.
 
"Are you gonna buy some lunch, Tom?"
 
"Have you got enough for us?"
 
"No, buy it with your car."
 
"..."
 
"Tomatoes, cheese, turkey breast, bread..."
 
He wandered off to try and work it out and then returned a minute later.  "We'll get Anna to sort out lunch."
 
Aah, married life.
 
I'll leave it to someone else to describe the games in more detail. We beat sockeye 15-11, after a 8-5 half and looking like we might win it by even more, but happy with that win against a top-notch consistent quarter-finalist team.  First win by an Australian men's team against a genuine UPA Nationals-level team.  Mamy more to come.
 
The format was 90 minute games, with 105 minute cap in 120 minute time-slots - pretty tough on its own, but the weather was oppressively humid which made getting water into us an imperative.  By the end of the day we had lost Matt and Lachie to the effects of heat stress.
 
Second game was against aXe, and we started pretty flat, trading for a few before asserting ourselves.  Apparently we had a 10 point run, that saw us end up 15-6 winners.  Lunch break and watced the end of a tight game between Sockeye and Furious that ended up witha 1 point win.
 
Lunchtime, enlivened with more stories of Tom and Steve's cleat fetishes.  Tom can name the cleat makes and models of everyone in the team, their condition, why that player wears them and what their alternate cleat is.
 
Owen, trying to catch Gack out: "So, what're my alternative cleats Tom?"
 
T: "I don't believe I've seen you in any other cleat."
 
O: "Ohmygod, that's right!  I don'jt have an alternative cleat!"
 
Then Tim recounted a story of waking up in the middle of the night last night and discovering Steve clutching a cleat to his chest.
 
"I just woke up and wanted to check out Jonny G's (our host) new Nike Speed TDs."  That's a fetish.
 
Last game was against Furious with a pretty short roster, pretty evenly matched game, both teams pretty knackered but still some great play, we let them take half 8-6 after being 6-6.  Then they lengthened the lead a bit before we came back to be 13-12 and just needed to complete our offeces to win the game.  A couple of offensive errors later and we had lost 16-14, but to have won 2 and lost a tight one was a great result for the day.
 
We also claimed the overall victory with based on the three-way tie results.  Yeah dingos!
 
We headed for a dip in the Skykomish River beside the park and then to a Korean BBQ restaurant with some of the Sockeye boys - fantastic!
 
Tomorrow a bunch of us are going to climb a big hill.
 
Pottsy.
 
 
 

Dingos to play demo at NRL Game

This Sunday, the Dingos will be playing a demo at Brookvale Oval 2pm-2:30pm, prior to the Manly vs Wests NRL Game. Apart from good fun for the team, it could be a great chance to publicise the local Manly Ultimate Frisbee League.

Watch this page for photos and comments on the event from the dog-stars.
