Most memorable moment (on or off the pitch)

What moment from the previous year sticks in your mind the most.

• Adam Glover skying Pete at the Easter Special
• Dave Hammonds Impersonation of BIG Rob at Cork
• During training luke doing the smoothest greatest i have ever seen, just a wee flick back to myself open in the end zone. awesome.
• Every time Dave Hammond skyed the shortest female player on the other team.
• Garry's sh*t layout
• Love Easter - "being amazed when I turned up and saw so many people, playing in an epic final"
• Marco making Davidson cry by singing 'Are we Swerve, or are we bankers?'
• Mankinis - but I really wish I could forget that.
• Ob laying out

Best match

Includes all matches organised by BU or played by BU associated teams

• BUG vs BOLOGNA (Cork Open)
• BUG vs GB Juniors U17s (Tours) - Extract froms Steves writeup which sums it up…
  "This match was a match that no over 21 years of age ultimate player wants to come up against, it was 9 broken BUG players on a sunday morning facing milliions of teenage running machines. Old age and treachery conquered in the end."
• CHASE vs Dundee (Tune Up) - the grudge match
• CHASE vs Swerve (Summer League) - the one where there was a draw
• Deep Heat vs CHASE (Love Easter)
• Kebab Hammer vs CHASE (Summer League) - the Mike Carlisle Special

Most in-eptness

Speaks for itself

• Stuart Moore - for getting his wife Karen pregnant ("Need I say more!")
• Ben McFeeters - for forgetting his sleeping bag at Tour 1, and his boots, towel... He even tried to lose his suitcase at a train station, but it was still there when he got back.
• Chris Linter - He surprises us some days with levels of preparedness but then totally redeems himself with HUGE levels of ineptness. For example, the time when he asked Ben's new French friend "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?" He also got told off for beating up C3PO by Captain Kirk. (How's that Lookfly order coming?) Sometimes he gets people mixed up.
• The Lintor and Ben Show

Crippalator award

Who's most likely to send someone to hospital

• Andy 'Mac-attack' Mac - Cloth-lined Paddy at training one week.
• Jarad 'the ginger raper' Cordner - Jarad's failed rape attempt on ob, then dropping him on his head, leaving him with a sore neck for months
• Pete 'Cripplar' Gaston - Always attempts to re-address player number imbalances between teams
• Steve 'Studo' Graham - For injuring discs
• Robert 'Bob' Lindsay - From his nominator: "Shouts a lot, could easily send me to hospital, slaps me really hard and says "Alright buddy"."

Best fancy dress (individual)

• Benjamin McFeeters - Socrates - For freezing his butt of at Copa and wearing the same costume again at Tune-Up becasue it was so awesome!

Perve of the year

Who would you least like to introduce to your sister

• Smoke For A Grope - "I think both parties involved should be ashamed!!!!"
• Alan McWatters - for telling many stories about the girls he's shagged ("Yeh, I did an Asain once..." etc)
• Keith - poor Debbie got marked by no one else. Maybe he just couldn't handle playing D against any other Kebab Hammer breasts, sorry, beasts.
• Steve Hammond - "I'm blind. Can I have a grope?"
• Windy Millar - Nuff said. Also for his attempts at getting girls by grinding on them on the Dance Floor at Cork and for looking up Ben's 16 year old sister on Facebook

Sunshine award

Who brightened your day the most and always had a smile on their face (when at training, playing at games, etc)

• Adam Glover
• Benjamin McFeeters - from his nominator: "best friend, brightens my day, always has a smile on his face, I love him(not in a gay way)"
• Brick Knee - When she actually came to training
• Garry Hughes
• The Lintor and Ben show - "they never fail to make me laugh"
• Steven Hammond - "Best Laugh ever."
• Rob Lindsay - from his nominator: "always brightens up my day when I see him. He is big and friendly, and always glad to play Frisbee. His hybrid accent makes anything he says sound heartfelt, well-meaning, and like the start of a racist joke. He’s never one to take himself too seriously, and I hope he never takes being the brunt of a joke personally. BUG just wouldn’t be as fun without him. I’m glad to count him as a BUG team-mate and a friend."
• Windy

Most creative (in journalism or other)

• Darragh McCambridge and the rest of Kebab Hammer - for reporting in the Banbridge Bugle that they'd won summer league. Very creative.
• Luke Carlisle - Though not entirely Ultimate related, his documentary on Rob's steak challenge. He also made a documentary about BUG, but that was last year, so it doesn't count.
• Stephen Hammond - for writing the Tour 1 and Tour 2 write ups, which make an interesting read and received good reviews from all readers
