Club history

As of writing this post, BUUF has played 218 games and had 133 players pull on a navy shirt.

We've lost more than we've won (about a 60-40 split), but we've had a lot of fun doing it.

While we've had a lot of Australia rep players take the field for us, we've managed to produce two Australian reps of our own.

Next week we get our new jerseys. On the left sleeve everyone will have a number that is different to the number on their back. It is the number in which order they played their first game for BUUF - a move stolen from GFUC, who probably stole it from the Australia cricket team.

Also next week, on Wednesday, BUUF turns 5 years old. We're not sure of the exact date, but it was the week before O-Week in 2004 that myself and some friends were sitting around in the UBSA office, bandying about an idea for an ultimate frisbee team. We'd been talking about it all summer since some of us saw it played at 2003 AUG, but nothing had been planned. That day, we bit the bullet and said "let's do it" and came up with the name.

One week shy of the 5th birthday, we did two things to add to our history.

We broke our club record for longest winning streak (the record is now eight games).

And we finally broke through to win our first competition - Geelong League season three.

Yeah BUUF.
