Frisbee

About

Ultimate, often called ultimate frisbee, is a relatively new sport. Started in the late 1960's, it has grown in popularity, now with millions of practitioners worldwide. In Ireland the sport is still growing, with under-17,under-23 male national teams,as well as full male and female national teams.

Most major universities in Ireland are involved in the sport with many fielding 2 or more teams.Here at Galway we have enjoyed much success, always finishing in the top half of varsities tables and finishing 3rd in 2009 and 4th in 2010 as well as winning the plate at the Siege of Limerick tournament in 2008 and 2009. If you're interested come along to training and see what you think of it.
