Fire of London Ultimate Frisbee Club

Who are we? Fire Of London have consistently been one of the top 3 teams in the UK since they were founded and have always challenged hard in the European and World Championships.We train hard but have fun doing so and enjoy a ‘healthy’ social scene with our female counterparts Iceni. Fire also run a long standing second team where the focus is more on development while still competing at the highest level possible. The club has strong ties with various places with players coming from Cambridge, Portsmouth and even as far off as Australia. History Fire Of London was born in 2004, evolving from ‘Chevron Action Flash South’. Founded by the likes of Paolo Nistri, Paul "Larry" Larkin, Nick "Mango" Smith, Pete Cotton and inspirational caption Ian "Ploughdude" Pearmain (not to mention current day legends Lewis Glover and Ed Russell). In 2005, captained by Joff Log, Fire won the Tour after a nail biting sudden death point in the final at Tour 4 against Leeds. Fire nearly repeated this feat in similar fashion in 2008 under the joint captaincy of Pete ‘Rodders’ Wright and Joe Bolton but couldn’t defeat a gritty Fusion team in the final of Tour 3, handing the overall tour to Chevron (who we beat in the semi- grrr!!). Other highlights in Fire’s short history include a great showing in Perth, 2006 for the World Championships where Fire came 10th and in Paris, 2008 where Fire reached the European Club final, losing narrowly to Swedish team, Skogs.
