Well, well, well. Another successful Moreton Bay Buggers BPL season.
For the first time in the history of the Dog Cup/MAL/BPL there were 5 healthy and competitive teams in contention. All teams had distinct cultures and playing styles. It was a joy to have that level of variety and freshness in the league.
After a competitive and exciting regular season the Semi Finals arrived with the teams positioned like this: 1 MBB, 2 UQ Lovers, 3 DoJo, 4 UQ Passion, 5 Rawhide. With 4 players overseas and unavailable for periods of the final series the Buggers managed to scrape through 2 weeks of extreme intensity UQ final match ups. We played in our 5th Grand Final in a row and won our 3rd.
I wasn't at the Grand Final and so can't convey much information about the game. The final score was MBB by 1 point over an extremely competitive UQ Lovers team. We played the Lovers 3 times over the season with the following results: Lovers by 1, Draw, Buggers by 1. A drawn season! The Buggers just managed to make our only win of the season in the final game. These 2 teams have placed a few more stones in the bridge of rivalry that joins our 2 strong and different Frisbee clubs.
The spring league of the BPL is only 2 weeks away and the Moreton Bay Buggers are taking a page from the Lovers club and entering 2 teams into the league. The BPL will now include the MBB: Crusty Buggers and the MBB: Fresh Buggers, making this league a 6 team competition!
This spring league will be very interesting as arguably the strong team over the last year divides and grows its player base. How will the new teams play? Who will rise to control the competition? How will the playing styles of the new teams change from the established Bugger method? How will the Crusty and Fresh boys integrate 6-8 new players into the BPL? Where will these players come from?
As far as i'm concerned this is shaping up to be a very interesting Brisbane Premier League. Strap yourselves in.
