Following successful qualification last month, Kent Touch This sent a team to its first Mixed Indoor Nationals last weekend in Wolverhampton. We came sixteenth in division two; the club’s best ever result in Mixed Ultimate. Kent previously qualified for Mixed Indoor Nationals in the 2009-10 season, but were unable to attend as the tournament was held in Scotland.
On 26-27 November, Kent Touch This competed in Open Indoor Nationals in Hatfield. After earning qualification for the second time in the club’s history last month, Kent 1 went on to record our club’s highest ever finish, coming eighth in Division 2, 24th overall in the United Kingdom. Kent last qualified for Nationals in 2009, on that occasion coming 14th in the second division.
Congratulations to Vid, Cleary, Andy, Backstreet, Clark, Dan, Hayd, Hooch, Scarfe and Shamo on their performance, and also to Sean, who was with Kent 1 for the qualification campaign, but was unable to play at Nationals himself.
The same weekend, a team consisting of freshers, experienced players and alumni competed in the Spectator Sport tournament, being run in parallel with Division 2 Nationals, and came 13th winning the Bowl.
The Autumn 2011 edition of Hammertime was held on Saturday 12 December. The hat tournament was won by team Zombies, and Andy McAteer won the Michael Joyce Award for Flair after Anthony Scarfe was disqualified for failing to attend the party in the evening. Full results and photos to follow…
This weekend, Kent Touch This sent two teams to Mixed Indoor Regionals in London, our fourth tournament in four weekends. Kent 1 earned qualification for Division 2 Nationals, finishing in sixth overall, whilst Kent 2 came eighteenth and won spirit.
Next week: Hammertime.
Last weekend Kent Touch This sent three teams to the South East University Open Indoor Regionals in Hatfield, Hertfordshire.

Congratulations to Jiawei Cheong (Kent 2) and Ieuan Lewis (Kent 3) on being voted MVP for their teams.
