World Ultimate and Guts Championships 2008

The Board of New Zealand Ultimate are pleased to announce the following people as selectors for the teams to be sent to the World Ultimate and Guts Championships in Vancouver, August 2008.

Open Team

Eric Gross
Dave 'Sammy' Neilson
Dave Sanders
Gareth Taylor
Shane Vuletich

Women's Team


Penny Jackson
Kristin Lewis
Alison Scarlet

Mixed Team


Fraser Clark
Ingrid Kaptein
1 TBC


The Board has appointed 5 selectors in the Open division due to the interest generated in the team and the need for some real debate with regards to selections.

The Board will also still consider a sending a Masters team, however, as of right now there are not enough players interested in playing at WUGC2008 in this grade. Should enough players come forward, NZU will appoint a selection panel.

The Board wishes to thank all of those people who put their names forward for consideration, picking the selection panels was a tough decision. We also wish to thank the successful candidates for stepping forward and wish you luck in your roles. Picking a team to represent New Zealand at this event will prove to be a challenge due to the high number and caliber of players who have put their names forward, however we know you will rise to the task.

Regards,

Iain Stewart
Chairman
New Zealand Ultimate
