Frisbee® is a trademark of Wham-O Inc., and thus the game involving that ever likeable flying disc is called Ultimate.

Since September 2007 the Flying Disc in question has made several appearances around KK as more and more local enthusiasts have picked up the game. Under the guidance of Flying Disc Guru Ken Kassem, an Ultimate team has formed.

And that team is about to go to the MUO held in Kuala Lumur on 12 and 13 April.

Borneo Bristleheads - Ultimate Team from Sabah going to the MUOLast week the team, named Borneo Bristleheads, received happy news as three sponsors committed to help them out with team t-shirts. This generous assistance will alliviate some of the expenses the unofficial Sabah Ultimate team is incurring to represent Ultimate enthusiasts from Sabah at the MUO.

Breeze Magazine, the main sponsor is a new Sabah magazine dedicated to publishing tourist and general information about Sabah. So excited are Breeze about representatives from this Land Below the Wind heading to a national tournament in a new and exciting sport, that they have agreed to generously assist the Borneo Bristleheads.

Co-sponsors Borneo Beach House, a backpackers lodge with a friendly and relaxed atmosphere in Tanjung Aru, and Sabahbah.com, have made smaller, but equally valuable contributions to the Borneo Bristleheads campaign.

As a team made up of almost only novice players, the Borneo Bristleheads head to the MUO as definite underdogs.

Captain Ken Kassem has however emphisised the number 1 rule of Ultimate since the start of Ultimate in Sabah: Spirit of the Game; and has reminded team members that above all the Borneo Bristleheads will have fun.

He further underscored the value of the MUO by adding that win or lose, the Borneo Bristleheads will return to Sabah infinitely richer for having experienced their first Ultimate tournament at the Malaysian Ultimate Open.

The next Ultimate Tournament is scheduled for Singapore in August, and anybody interested is encouraged to come see what Ultimate is all about.

There’s Ultimate practice every Sunday from 4pm to 6pm on the fields behind the hostel at the Likas Sports Complex.
