Hey all. About time we had an ultimate forum which wasn't college-specific. This should make it a lot easier to spread news, rather than getting third-hand forwards of e-mails! Now, I think I can guess who Lord Panic is, but what about Cult and Johnathanpbk? Which teams do you guys play for?

Tyrrial · 13-02-2005 11:24pm

Great Ultimate Frisbee fourm.. finally!

Jonathanpbk · 14-02-2005 2:18pm

im so proud my suggestion was brought to light!!! i'm not on a team cause i'm not in college and my friends' team Pen15 needs no more players... i'm thinking of starting a team for people living around knocklyon where my mates live (no one would join a kimmage team

..)

Tyrrial · 14-02-2005 4:27pm

I'm in the DCU team...
people from there know me as Seb Berkovich.

CuLT · 14-02-2005 6:44pm

I live in Knocklyon ^_^

I played in the DCU Beginner's Tournament for DCU's Team Dave; I was on the back of An Tárbh (Now I'm famous).
Stopped going to training a while back though, I was getting home at crazy hours of the evening, was seriously affecting me so I had to stop

Enough of pathetic excuses though, if I don't pick it up anytime soon I'll reapply and start as a total noob again next year

Jonathanpbk · 15-02-2005 10:45am

I don't have the time to play cause i'm getting home at crazy hours aswell and i cant even throw a disc around with my friends cause they all live in knocklyon and i live in kimmage so its hard enough to get up there to mess... who do you hang around with in knocklyon? you'd see us with a disc in orlagh or templeroan.... edit: i just saw some pics on your site and who did i see but tumbo! (ronan) thats mad but not too surprising as everyone knows everyone in ireland...

Burke · 15-02-2005 8:35pm

my mates are on the Pen15 team.

Jonathanpbk · 16-02-2005 12:14pm

well then i probably know you!! they're all mates of mine...

Burke · 16-02-2005 5:18pm

i don't hang around with them. just in school with them. that all tommy, enda, etc.??

Shedite · 16-02-2005 9:59pm

PEN15 are fun. They came to Cork there about a month ago and we got drunk.

Jonathanpbk · 17-02-2005 12:26pm

mick tommy graham enda etc... they are such a laugh! they're jerseys in edinborough were banned because they were too obscene! they were all tight pink girls t-shirts with slogans, nicknames and pictures on them!... legends!

Volvagia · 20-02-2005 1:37am

Jonathanpbk · 20-02-2005 8:13pm

whats the story!? rory....

Scarinae · 05-03-2005 1:59pm

What's the difference between ultimate frisbee and normal frisbee?

Shedite · 06-03-2005 3:50pm

Basically ultimate frisbee is a 7-a-side, field sport that is played with a frisbee. Crap name and confusing but savage fun. Have a look at these sites for more info...

If your gaggin for some ultimate in the winter months just come to pick up!
Every sunday at 2pm in herbert park!

68 lost souls · 30-10-2005 11:42am

Marys school I think have one and there are a few starting a club including High School, Terenure, and Our Ladies Tempelouge.

Markham · 22-11-2005 6:10pm

Spiffing.

It's been a long while, mind. Probably lost all my magic powers.

darraghw · 26-02-2006 4:28pm

was just wondering where to buy a good frisbee?

RareVintage · 13-03-2006 2:25am

If you're not a member of an Ultimate club who can order discs then try the UK supplier Lookfly:
-the link is to a page in their shop. I've bought stuff from Lookfly, totally reliable. BTW get a copy of the "Above & Beyond" dvd while you're at it and you'll see what can be done with a frisbee!

jthayden · 06-04-2006 11:50am

Hey Guys,

Can anyone point me to a pick up game? I saw the post about Herbert Park, but it's a little old, are people still playing on Sundays down there? What about during the week?

Thanks,

Jewel · 06-04-2006 12:34pm

Hey,

Due to tournaments over the last couplde of weeks pick will be starting up again this weekend on Sunday at 2pm. But we had to move it to Deer Park which is, well a rough estimate 20 minute cycle, 10 minute drive from Herbet.

If you sign up to this email group you will be able to get updates on what is happening in Ireland regarding ultimate and when pick up is on and where:) There will also be past emails you would have missed on the home page so you can get up to date

http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/pookas/

Anything else I can help you with?

starringme · 10-05-2006 3:37pm

Does anyone know of a (not a college) frisbee club in Dublin that accepts total beginners?

Jewel · 10-05-2006 11:16pm

Ok anyone from beginner to expert is welcome to pick up every Sunday at 2pm. Check out www.irishultimate.com for weekly updates on where it is going to be held each week. Also sign up to, if you are not already, the Pookas yahoo group to receive emails about what is currently going on in Irish ultimate. http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/pookas/

Summer league is starting up really soon and if you are around for the summer it is definitely something that can't be missed. Basically an email will be sent around (on the Pookas list) giving the starting date and how to amply. The summer league is basically a hat tournament that runs trough the summer. You will be asked to rate your experienced and the teams will be made as even as possible.

There is also a Cork Beach tournament which is happening the weekend of the 16th of June which is also a great way to meet new people and to get to know how the game is played. You can find out more details on this on the Cork Ultimate web page. http://www.ultilinks.com/tournaments/corkbeachhat/

So I hope that answers your question. Get in touch with people over the Pookas mailing list I don't think too many people actually look at this section on Boards anymore.

BSmith · 12-11-2007 9:51pm

Terenure College now has one,
My friend is the manager, it is all very casual at training level, and most of the time it is evening sessons in the Terenure Area, etc. Be forewarned, it is a teenage team mainly, with an odd 20 year old now and again. Girls are welcome to the best of my knowledge, but not insured

I'll ask if anyone is interested! I'm the manager of the three person B team!

starringme · 26-02-2008 2:05pm

There is a UF club of sorts in the Dublin 15/ Castleknock region. It started in Autumn 07 and is really just a casual group - guys and girls, from several countries - playing as many Sundays as people are available.

We stopped for the winter but are hoping to start up again now that the weather is gradually improving. Generally an email is sent out to the group address asking if many people can be there at the weekend, and if the weather holds up, we play.

It's a very fun sport, and a great way to get fit. When the evenings get longer we may start playing during the week as well. Anyone - anyone! - is welcome. For more details, please email me at lornab2@gmail.com.

Frisbee.... whats this about the two pint challenge ?

The threee pint challenge:

A standard 175g frisbee hold almost exactly three pints. The challenge requires three pints of beer, two people, two straws and a total disregard for your liver. The two particpants both drink from the frisbee through a straw. I've heard of times as low as 15 seconds.

If the three pint challenge is too easy for you, try the two bottles of wine challenge.

I don't recommend actually trying it.

Phat Chance · 11-04-2008 10:09pm

Any clubs, or even groups/pickup teams, down in Wexford? or will I have to set one up in the summer to get my frisbee fix? Studying in Wales at the moment, I'm on the Mwnci See team.

enemy · 08-07-2008 8:44pm

hey lads

i just came across ultimate frisbee on youtube and was wondering how do i go about getting involved? where can i play? are complete beginners accepted?

cheers

von Neumann · 31-07-2008 10:16am

Hi Enemy,

I used to play in Herbert park on sundays.......not sure if it's still goiing?

Was thinking of giving it another go, so, would be interested in knowing if you find a club.

Phat Chance · 05-08-2008 6:26pm

Anyone read the article in the Irish Times Magazine? Eoin Butler wrote it (possibly the same chap who did Mongrel magazine?) and the tone was less than appreciative. To my mine, Ultimate players came off as unathletic and the emphasis was certainly put on the 'student' side of the game, both of which are misrepresentations of the sport and the players I think. Right irate, I am...

Volvagia · 26-08-2008 4:21pm

Yes there's an open game (called pick up) every Sunday and every Thursday night in Herbert park. Sunday starts at 3 o clock and Thursday nights start at 7pm. Both on the soccer pitch.

Its open to people of every level including complete beginners.

If you want to go it'd be handy to bring a light and a dark shirt, so football boots and some water. There's been a lot more people around the last month or two so come along.

There's more details about pick up on the IFDA site http://www.irishultimate.com/beginners/game.php?Type=2

Oh and i read the Irish times article too and it was woeful! The guy really didn't know what he was on about.

Volvagia · 22-12-2008 8:09pm

A player named Jim from the University of Limerick has created a google map of all the clubs in Ireland, so for anyone interested in finding where they're closest club is they can find the info here;

Flossy Flossy · 13-02-2009 3:56pm

Does everyone have their stab proof vests for this weekend ?

Volvagia · 13-02-2009 6:16pm

I've got mine ready!

Flossy Flossy · 16-02-2009 1:08pm

Epic weekend, great Torni.

Honestcon · 07-05-2009 8:41pm

Are you people serious - frisbee isn't a sport, its a round piece of plastic thrown around by people who can't play real sports.
Get off the stage, Man.

personguy · 09-05-2009 1:02pm

wow. pretty disappointing words, honestC. ultimate's one of the only sports i actually enjoy playing, mainly because -- while decent -- i'm never quite as good with a ball as i am with a frisbee, and i'm not a fan of "sports" where there's a helluva lot of standing around going on. ultimate is challenging, super fun, keeps you on your toes, gets you muddy sweaty tired and happy all at the same time!

.. that said, does anyone know where around dublin someone like me might go who just wants a casual pick-up game, or to join a game that isn't necessarily wrought with a tight-knit group of pros?
cheers!
