APPROXIMATELY 500 players, officials and spectators from across Victoria converged on the region over the weekend for the Victorian Mixed Ultimate Frisbee Championships.

After the success of last year’s event and feedback from its participants, Ultimate Victoria made the decision to bring its state mixed Ultimate Frisbee championships back to the region for the second year running.

Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Kim O’Keeffe said “On behalf of council I thank Ultimate Victoria for choosing to bring this event to Greater Shepparton. This provides a great opportunity for our region to showcase Greater Shepparton and further enhance our profile as a leading major event destination in regional Australia.”

Ultimate Victoria acting president, Jess Chadderton said, “Our focus has been on trying to develop the sport throughout the state of Victoria.

“We would like to thank the Greater Shepparton City Council for their tremendous support with hosting the event at Mooroopna Recreation Reserve.”
