Gooooood morning BD, ED & UU Last weekend 51 teams travelled to Plymouth to bid for the title of Iron Five and the competition was tougher then ever before. With 11 returning seeded teams from the top 16 last year, 11 Wild Card teams who had talked themselves into being thrown into the top seedings, the following all comers had nothing to lose but to take it to them. In the end the spoils went to Fast Catch, a former winner returning after a years absence, winning over the highest rising unseeded team DED.
SOTG, sponsored by Lookfly, went to two teams, one from each venue on the second day. Congratulations to DED and Secchi who both left with an Iron Five SOTG Hip-flask, a box of Eclairs to share and a brand new pair of Lookfly shorts each. I would like to thank all the players who donated to Force the charity who we supported this year. Force offers respite care and counselling to sufferers and their families. We raised £125 through badges sponsored by Lookfly and a guess the number of Jelly Babies in the bottle. A lot of people used a "scientific method" stating a packing density for Jelly Babies or counting the number seen in the bottom and multiplying by a number for the heights. The bottle & Jelly Babies went to Lee Noble from The Five Percenters with a guess of 126, the official figure was 127. A special mention goes to the Wild Boys from Austria, possibly the furthest travelled team to an Iron Five. Any one care to beet that next year?
