It’s been another great year for OW! It’s been great seeing so many people at training, socials and tournaments. Thank you for showing up and making OW! what it is!

Varsity

Varsity this year was as fun as ever. On the first day, the outdoor teams battled some pretty horrific weather to come through with some much improved results from last year. Shoutout to the Women’s outdoor team for securing a huge 7-2 victory! We also had some tight indoor wins in the mixed and men’s teams, and a great weekend overall. Thanks for hosting Cambridge, and we look forward to next year’s tournament in Oxford!

Mixed Outdoor Nationals

We took a team to Mixed Outdoor Nationals after the end of Trinity term in Birmingham. It was a weekend of great weather, great frisbee and all around great vibes! Highlights included qualifying for Div 1, a great meal at a local pub, and an incredibly tight game to Universe point against Cambridge. Thanks to everyone for taking time out of their holidays to come and play!

Indoors

We sent three indoors teams to nationals this year; men’s and mixed to division 1, and women’s to division 2. This represented a huge effort from everyone – it was great to see!

Our women came 2nd in division 2 – a huge result, on a dramatic weekend that involved driving up to Scotland and a car crash – well done to all!

Our mixed and men’s teams had a harder time in division 1, but still managed to come through with some great results, finishing 16th and 19th respectively. Just don’t ask about the boy’s car back to Oxford on Saturday evening…

What an incredible start to the year we’ve had here at OW!! Let’s look back at some of our highlights!

Firstly, welcome to all our new players, it’s been awesome getting to know you all!
We had a fantastic time at fresher’s fair, it was amazing to see so many people playing frisbee, many for the first time!!
Thank you to everyone who came and got involved!

Indoors

This term saw huge success and great spirit across all our teams at indoor tournaments. We managed to qualify for nationals in all 3 events! (mixed, women’s and men’s)
Not only that, but our mixed and men’s teams both WON regionals!!
We’re looking forward to seeing what the teams can achieve at nationals, good luck to everybody!

Outdoors

Despite the chilly temperatures and extreme levels of mud that winter often brings us, we’ve still had lots of awesome outdoor frisbee going on too!
First of all, we welcomed Reading and Warwick for the inaugural WOW friendly tournament, where we went undefeated all day, claiming the trophy!
Next up, WOW travelled to Loughborough for the first day of BUCS games.
We took home a massive victory against Warwick in our first game, before unfortunately falling short to Cambridge in a tightly contested game.

We’re so proud of everyone who’s played with OW this term, we’ve grown so much as a team in just one term, we can’t wait to see what the future holds!!

We’ve got an exciting term up ahead, packed full of lots of ultimate. See here for when it’s all happening!

• Taster sessions: Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th October, 2-4 pm both days, at uni parks near the Keble gate. These sessions are open to absolutely everyone, so ideal to give the sport a go!

See you soon,

OW!

We’ve had another wonderful year of ultimate here at OW!, here are some of our best bits from the season!

Indoors

This year we managed to qualify both our women’s and mixed teams to division 2 nationals! At nationals, the mixed team finished a respectable 16th, while the women’s team managed to beat seed and finish 13th!

Outdoors

This year, our women competed in the BUCS league. This season saw many spirited performances, including a win against UEA and a tie with Warwick. Special mention to our captain Hui Wen and coach Serena for all their hard work in developing this team, we’re looking forward to seeing what we can achieve in the coming years with WOW!

Varsity

We were delighted to welcome Cambridge back for our first home varsity in a long time!
We had 11 teams compete across both indoor and outdoor matches, with over 30 players competing, and plenty more on the sidelines, supporting every step of the way!
We had some spectacular matches, including very close finishes in the outdoor women’s and mixed firsts. In the end we faced an excellent Cambridge squad, who managed to edge ahead of us on many occasions.
Congratulations to Cambridge, and we look forward to next year, where we’ll be ready to win our trophies back!

Spirit

Perhaps the club’s biggest achievement from this year is winning the first UKU Spirit of the Game award for University of the Year! This reflects on a year of excellent spirit throughout the club, at both trainings and under the pressure of tournaments. Shout out to our spirit officer Kay for all her hard work in helping this happen!

Finally, a special mention to two of our new players, Molly and Lena, who represented GB at the European Youth Ultimate Championships this summer!

We look forward to seeing you again soon for another huge season of ultimate!

It’s been a while since we’ve updated the website but that doesn’t mean our seasons been quiet, in fact it’s been anything but that. Here’s one big post summarising all of our results and best moments from the 2021-2022 season!

Indoors

Regionals: Our indoor season this year began as one of the best ever! We managed to qualify all three teams to nationals; womens, mixed and men’s with the men’s team going to division 1!

Nationals: We continued the streak of brilliant results with the women’s team finishing 12th at div 2, beating seed and the men’s team coming an amazing 6th place starting all the way at the bottom as the 20th seed in div 1! Finally we played mixed div 2 were we finished a respectable 10th, just missing out on the top bracket.

Outdoor BUCS

BUCS league: Both the men’s and women’s team this year competed in the BUCS league. The men’s team won 4 and lost 3 games and the women qualified for div 2 nationals!

Women’s Nationals: The women continued their form into nationals, braving some very difficult cold weather but persevering and playing some really nice ultimate!

Varsity

Varsity 2021-2022 was one to remember! We took over 30 players to Cambridge to compete over the weekend in both indoors and outdoors fixtures!

Indoor Varsity: We had multiple teams compete this year at indoor varsity, two men’s teams, two women’s teams and one mixed team. We had some great match ups with the Cambridge, with the women’s second winning their match, the women’s first playing a tightly contested game and the men’s first losing on universe.

Outdoor varsity: We had four teams compete at outdoor varsity, two men’s teams, one women’s and one mixed team. The women’s team opened up the fixtures with a close game against the Cambridge women. The men then player after, with the seconds winning their match and the men’s first sadly again losing an epic game on universe. Finally we finished with the mixed were team put up a good fight but unfortunately lost.

Congratulations to Cambridge, they were incredible and got the better of us in some close fought games. Next year the fixtures will be in Oxford and we will be ready to reclaim our trophies!

Miscellaneous

Logo: We updated our logo this year, it’s a just a slightly modern take on the current logo! We had multiple designs which went to a club vote and this is the final design!

Stash: We also managed to get new kit this year thanks to the hard work of our stash officer Kate. They had to deal with some fairly troublesome shipping issues due to Covid but the kit made it’s way to Oxford and we are excited to rep it next year!

Oxford Ultimate

In UK Ultimate there is large club scene and fortunately in Oxford, along side OW! there is a a local club team; Oxford Ultimate. Many of our players simultaneously play for both, representing Oxford in indoor and outdoor tournaments, both at regional and national level!
