| Favourite Ultimate Memory:My favourite Ultimate memory is the years playing on the Frisbetarians. The most fun I have ever had playing Ultimate.

When I moved to Peterborough I found out about PUL and joined in. Who’s another PUL player you love to play with, and why?Any Kightly. The most knowledgable and talented Ultimate family I know. You know you are going to enjoy playing if a Kightly is on your team. |
