And drink some drink in bar type places

The Inaugural Belfast Draft League is coming to town - an exciting development in Ultimate in the North.

Similar to a hat tournament when people enter as individuals and are randomly assigned teams, a draft tournament is when each individual is chosen by a captain.

Running on every Tuesday throughout October, the League will be played indoors at the Grove Wellbeing Centre in North Belfast from 8-10pm. The cost of entry is £15 each.

Registration is completed via the online form here:
