The European Ultimate Club Championship Finals took place in London at the end of Sept 2009. Teams from across Europe planned for months to be ready for the start of this 4 day tournement which took place at the Harlington Sports Ground located just outside of London. The regional qualifiers for the open division have all taken place while the womens, mixed and masters division teams have all trained hard so that on the 27th September 2009, they would have the chance of being crowned the 2009 European Champions.

European Ultimate Championship Series


The History of European Ultimate Club Championships 

 

This year there were 38 open teams coming from 14 different countries! On top of that there were 16 womens teams, 20 mixed teams and 6 masters teams. That's well over 1000 players all at xEUCF!

Prior to 2009, the UK had produced 2 Gold medallist teams in the past three years as well 4 runners up, each narrowly missing out on European glory having made it all the way to the EUCF finals! To add to this, 2006 and 2007 saw the Open finals repeated with both Clapham (UK) and Skogshyddan (Sweden) both getting to the finals both years. This year, Skogs and Clapham were in the same starting pool resulting in an intense thursday night showgame.
