FOA - 2010 Summer League Champions!! Defeat Monster 11 - 8.
Fellowship of Awesome faced their toughest opponent of the year - and won their 3rd Title in a row! 4th in the last 5 years.
The game was Intense from beginning to end. A number of calls that slowed down the flow of the game. FOA started strong again - and jumped out to a 6-2 lead. Monster came back with 3 straight points. FOA took an 8-6 lead into half time.
The game was very even with a number of close calls - but everyone played well. Paolo Mascarin won the player of the game. Scott Vere-Hollloway and Beson and Bec Coffey won the spirit of the game awards.
Final score 11 - 8 for FOA. Champions of Summer League in 2010. Congratulations to Monster on a great Intense Game.
Until next year!!!! Pictures to come in the next couple of days!

Aug 24th. Fellowship win 15-5. 1st Overall!!!!
For the first time in the history of MZU, Fellowship of Awesome goes Undefeated in league play.
Fellowship started fast and ended fast. Up 8-1 at half, and cruised to a 15-5 win, 20 minutes before play was supposed to end at 7pm.
Great defense by Ryan Quinlan, Andrew Tobin, Roger Crowley, and Catherine Snow set up the win.
Scoring was completely balanced - throughout the whole game!
Fellowship finishes first place overall!! Incredible Accomplishment and Dedication! oh yeah - Bec Coffey wins the Spirit award...2nd in a row. whoopie! Now Derrick has to win back to back to back!
Aug 17th. FOA defeat Monster 14- 8. Sleepy Coffey gets the Spirit award and the Busted Eye!!!
If Fellowship didn't have luck off the field before the game, they definitely had it ON the field.
In warm up, Roger Crowley PUMPED up Ms. Sleepy Coffey with a vicious Backhand - right above the right eye. It was so fast - she didn't even see it.
The game started slow, but FOA took a 5-2 lead. Monster, with solid play brought it to 5-4. However, the Snows, R.Davis, Roger, and yes Sleepy Coffey took the lead to half at 8-5.
After Penalty Pete sitting with a "Non-injured" right hand, but a dangerous weapon in his left - Captain Mascarin decided to sit him for most of the whole game.
Second Half: With Derrick not at 100%, and Jessie Wade and Hilary out of action, the rest of FOA took over. Aimee sheppard, Sleepy Coff, and Roger played Huge - all anchored by Paddy Snow and the Captain.
Fellowship gutted out a tough game - with a lot of injuries, and not everyone at 100%. Final score - 14-8. ohh yes - Sleepy Coffey wins Spirit award. Derrick is not giving up!!!!
Practice Thursday - 6:30pm.
Update: Scores, Standings, Pictures from FOA Wreckhouse will be along soon.
Aug 10. Fellowship take down Bohemian Fantasy
Fellowship stay undefeated with a convincing 15-6 win at Mary queen of peace field.
Again, FOA start strong and create a 9-0 lead at half-time.
Bohemian tried to use their "another one bites the dust" zone, but Fellowship broke Fantasy's back. The Scoring was balanced across the board.In another shocking twist of fate, Jessica Wade brings home the Spirit award. After 10 games of the season, Roger has 5, Peter Thompson has 2, Paolo, Jessie, and Hilary have 1. Somewhere in the heart of Texas, Sleepy Coffey has a grin on her face.....In other Ladder A game - Monster with a short line up, defeated Snatch 13 - 7.
Aug 3rd - Monster lose to Fellowship 12 - 6!!
Future????
Monster decided to show up to the field an hour before the game to work on a few things. However, FOA were the first out of the game.
Fellowship jumped out to an 8-2 half-time lead.
With Fellowship up 4-1, Monster was pinned in the back of their endzone.
Suzy Stever "attempted" a back hand throw to Beson, however out of the clear blue sky; Captain Paolo Mascarin cut in front - and caught the disc in the opponents endzone! result - point = Callahan. This was paolo's 4th career callahan this year!!! impressive!
Incredible and consistent catches by Karen Bussey, Hillary Hutton, Aimee "Sky over Beson" Sheppard, Catherine snow, and Tobin - kept monster at bay for the whole game!
During the 2nd half of the game, Penalty Pete (thinking too much about Nationals) called a 2nd time out. Monster player Steve French remember that Paddy Snow had already called on. Result = turnover. Then Penalty pete started the stall count at 4!!!!
There are always players like Bec Coffey, Paddy Snow, and Paolo that just consistent play very well all the time. FOA management want to recognize their play - and have decided to rent the Party BUS!!!! for playoff day!!!
July 27. Snatch vs FOA. 13-6 for Snatch. Penalty Pete Wins back to back Spirit Award!!! holy Christ!!
Fellowship took on Snatch at Brother Egan, as conditions changed from wind, to rain, to "when is the game over?" Fellowship again, started fast with a 5-1 lead. Extremely great defense by Roger Crowley and R.Davis, combined with incredible catches by Jessie Wade and A.Tobin set FOA to an 8-4 lead.
As halftime was over, the rain started. FOA wasn't rattled. Paolo Mascarin decided to throw in some strategy by NOT playing the 2nd half.
Aimee, Catherine and Bec decided to step up the play and score ALL of the 2nd half points! Final score 13-6.
Up next, Monster!! ohh yea, by the way, Penalty Pete wins back to back Spirit awards!!! Bec Coffey wins another battle!
July 22, 2010. Suspensions handed down in Ladder 3!!
Breaking news on the suspensions.
The altercation took place last week between "Deep Throw it" and "Disco Knights"
It was Pierre Lucs team (Disco Knights) that was involved when they were playing Deep Throw It (Holly and Hicks team) . Apparently Adam Holly guarded a girl on the other team on a turnover and the girls got a little overwhelmed and as you can guess . . . turned it over. Pierre Luc apparently took this to heart and ran up on Holly and pretty much ran into him saying that because he guarded the female so closely that he was going to do the same. Someone shoved someone at some point (probably Holly to get Pierre Luc out of his lap) and of course, the other shoved back. The story, from a source at the field said, the way it ended was that Pierre Luc walked past Holly and said something to him so Holly tapped him on the head with the disc. Pierre Luc then supposedly warned him not to do it again and Holly did it anyways so Pierre Luc cancelled the game in the spot with Deep Throw It winning it.
Funny thing is - our sources were out with Holly and Hicks on Friday and they were saying that Pierre Luc apologized for starting the ordeal after the game but still filed a complaint to the league? Sources say that PL got the 1 game, and Holly got 2 games.
Story from the Commish himself!!!
It started out as some aggressive marking (within the rules) that wasn't appreciated. Then it was copied by the other team. A couple of fouls (once again, not contested) and that led to a player checking the disc in by tapping it off the mark. Pushing and shoving ensued and one captain decided that was enough and pulled the team off the field. Nothing serious, but a complaint was filed and this was the call of the discipline committee. We don't need that kind of crap, so, hopefully this will serve as a warning to others that a) we have a zero tolerance policy towards any physical confrontation and b) If you really blow a Spirit of the Game violation when it is clear that you know you're blowing it, there could be repercussions as well.
July 19th vs Republic of Donkey. Penalty Pete - takes home his first Spirit Award!!
Spirit: In the strangest turn of events, Penalty Pete takes home the Spirit award vs Donkey!! This Spirit crap is giving me a headache. Obviously Donkey didn't see Pete up in Regionals almost mutilate someone!!!
Bec Coffey just grins as Derrick loses his 7th spirit award. All hope is almost lost!!
How can this be? Coffey doesn't look worried at all!
July 13th, 7pm, Brother Egan vs Monster. FOA wins 15-8. no PT no problem!
2 of the Top teams faced off at Brother Egan in a calm, but sometimes heated affair.
FOA started off strong, and jumped to a 8-3 halftime lead.
Just before halftime - Jessie Wade threw a uncatchable "blade" in the air - however Ryan Quinlan came out of no-where to pull it in - and then secure the point.
Karen Bussey also played incredible defense on the taller Lisa Woodrow. At one point, Karen skyed in front of Lisa to knock down the disc. Unfortunately - it went right into the Monster's hand. (maybe Derrick should guard his defender more closer!!!
The game went back and forth.
The game ended after an incredible defensive play by Roger, and then Paolo made the final point to Mr. Crowley for the win.
Now.... Spirit award goes to guess who? Roger Crowley Wins yet again!!!! come on man!! this is Ridiculous!
And Micheal Beson wins the spirit award for Monster.
July 13th Update:
Upcoming- Schedule for the next 3 weeks!! Rebecca Coffey's nicknames, Ryan Quinlan's profile, Karen Bussey's profile, Party, Scores, Standings, Photos, Injuries.

Hutton wins 1st Spirit Award -June 29/10 vs Snatch FC. (Kitty Gaul)
After the game, Snatch FC picked their spirit of the game player. Winner is... Derrick, or wait....it isn't!!!!!
No folks, it wasn't Roger. Hilary Hutton breaks his streak at 4 games!!
There of course, was controversy with the spirit award. Derrick and Ms. Coffey heard that Derrick won the award, however it was actually for the "best Catch" award!!! Coffey's sinister laugh and grin regained it's fine form!!
Word is that Snatch FC - was tipped off regarding the little side-bet! that FOA have!!
In the late game, Monster came back to beat the Disc Whisperers 12-10. The Whisperers were actually up 10-9 with 5 minutes remaining!!

June 22 vs Disc Whisperers
Roger "Ninja" Crowley won his 4th Straight Spirit Award against the Disc Whisperers!
Some think that there is a conspiracy that Bec Crowley has somehow influenced the other teams!
Derrick and Ms. Coffey bet - has definitely swung on the Coffey/Crowley side.
There is word that Derrick (during the game) bribed the other team, saying, "If you give me the spirit award, I will give you $20 Bucks." Obviously this didn't sit very well.
Then during their Spirit Whisperer Game, Roger was somehow the last person to control his own fate!
But Derrick misplayed the game - and lost again!!!!! Up next Snatch. No chance for Derrick - because Derrick is out for blood. So Roger can win it again!!!

June 17th Game vs Republic of Donkey
FOA (in their new jerseys) defeated Republic of Donkey 15-9, in one of the most unusual games in their history.
Playing with only 3 girls, FOA got off to a slow start down 3-1. However, using their females, FOA turned the tide.
Up 14-6, FOA played only 2 girls for about 20 minutes.
Players of the game: Aimee, Catherine, Jessica, and of course Mr. Spirit himself, Roger Crowley.
The game was High-lighted when R.Davis got thrown out of Bingo, after missing his 4 corners.
He was upset, and let both teams know it. 2 of donkey's females cried.
Up next, Ladder 1. Watch emails/web site for our next game.
