The annual University College London Union (UCLU) Interclub Dodgeball Tournament was a great success despite some adverse weather.
The ever-popular dodgeball tournament was held in the main UCL quad on Wednesday the 26th of March 2014. A great effort from all involved culminated in a showpiece final, which was moved under the cover of the iconic UCL portico after rain and hail.
With 38 teams quickly whittled down to two, the final saw UCLU Skateboarding Club and UCLU Folk Society fight it out for bragging rights and a generous bar tab. Folk Society quickly went 2-0 up in a best-of-5 match. Skateboarding hit back to make it 2-2.
Confusion in the final game meant that with a few seconds to go, a timeout was called. When play resumed, it was 1 vs 1, with Folk Society President, Jimmy Grayburn, against Skateboarding Club Treasurer, Tom Harrington.
Some extreme dodging, dipping, ducking, diving and umm.. dodging in the Sudden Death finale gave Folk Society the victory.
The event was hosted by UCLU Dodgeball Club and organised by club President, Nicholas Allen. The event was generously supported by Dodgeball UK with all proceeds going to Cardiac Risk in the Young. The total raised for CRY was £554.39.
