The #playofthegame against Glasgow was a long flick huck from B-Tang to Matt Terry. This was a crucial play in our 9-0 run. Matt needed a break from the rugby first team but found himself chasing Joel Terry for an hour. Not sure if he will be back again. #Ultimatefrisbee

The third BUCS game for our men came against Glasgow. After a very shaky start they found themselves 8-4 down at the half. In quite a statement game, they rallied back with a 9 point run to take the game 14-10! This win secured their place for Div 1 Nationals.

It was a mixed bag of results for our men at UMIN. Some excellent play on day one gave them a great seed for Sunday. Sadly things did not go their way from then on out. They walked away with 12th place. Nevertheless, they kept their team spirit high and played hard throughout.

Our three woman’s team travelled to UWIN in high hopes. All of them performed exceptionally well. Our third team was the best third team in the country, our seconds came third in Div 2 and our first team came 6th in Div 1. An excellent overall performance from St. Andrews.

After taking the final Scottish qualifying place for Mixed Indoor Nationals, our first team travelled to Nottingham motivated to climb up the rankings. After two days of impressive frisbee, they came away in 8th place. This was a great improvement from their original 16th seed.

The #playofthegame against Edinburgh was a lovely connection between two veterans of the first team. Hannes doesn’t need much space to throw and Fraser needs even less to get open. Fraser’s man works hard to get back into the play, only to get skied by the boy from Stonehaven.

For their second BUCS game, our men faced Edinburgh. Edinburgh have been consistently a good side and managed to beat us last year in St. Andrews. This time round it was a different story. Solid play from the whole team gave us the 12-6 victory. #Ultimatefrisbee #BUCS

Trying to rival the success of our women's team, our men travelled to Glasgow for Indoor Regionals. Our second and third team came a respectable 12th and 14th. Our first team however improved throughout the weekend to qualify for Div 1. They took 5th place. #BUCS #Ultimate

Our woman’s team did exceptionally well at indoor regionals this year. All three teams qualified to nationals and the first team came away with the gold medal! The first time in 9 years. They did so by beating the reigning BUCS champions Strathclyde in the final.

Two teams travelled to Aberdeen this year to compete in the University Mixed Indoor Regionals. They both did well with our 2nd team finishing 12th and our 1st qualifying to Div 1 by placing 3rd. A great weekend with lots of good quality ultimate 🥏 #BUCS #Ultimatefrisbee

The #playofthegame against Aberdeen was a brilliant throw from Ben Tang to Matthew Miller. It was the first game for these two freshers and they showed exactly why they belong on the first team. #BUCS #Ultimate #Ultimatefrisbee

The men's 1st team started their BUCS league with a game against Aberdeen. Both teams played well but it was St. Andrews who came out on top, taking the game 15 to 6.

Following Edinburgh Beginners, two teams went to compete in Stirling Tune-Up. This was a great opportunity for the new beginners to play competitively with the more experienced members of the club. Showing our new depth of freshers, our two teams placed 3rd and 4th!

Over the next few weeks we will be recapping our 2019/20 season! We kicked off by sending two teams to compete at Edinburgh Beginners. They did incredibly well coming 4th and 5th place. 7 of these beginners went onto to compete for our first teams later in the year!

This Spotlight Saturday we want to raise awareness of the work of our teams across this academic year. The @UStAUltimate Club are proud of how much they have grown this year. These are some of their highlights! #GoSaints!

We're in the pack of teams who have a chance to do well at these events. It was a similar story for our women (6th at their champs last wind). But we're not interested in chance. We want to be so much better than our opponent that chance has nothing to do with it. Keep building.

Of course, we can talk about luck, and winning the right games next time. Or we can look at Strathclyde, who have sat completely untroubled in the 1 seed all weekend while so much parity plays out below them.

Carnage at BUCS Indoor Nationals as teams who failed in pool play storm up the rankings. Seeds 12, 13 and 16 after pool play, carrying SEVEN losses and 2 draws between them, move into semis. One of them knocked us out on the way.😭
