In recent days both the Canadian and Australian Ultimate governing bodies have announced their World Games teams for this summer’s events in Tapei.

AUSTRALIA
Diana Worman
Liz Edye
Keah Molomby
Lauren Brown
Katie Bradstock
Ash Martens
Jonathan Holmes
Matthew Dowle
Anthony Dowle
Pete Gardner
Mike Neild
Tim Lavis
Peter Blakeley

Alternates: Lisi Jarrott, Fiona Macrae, Megan Gamble, Gavin Moore, Owen Shepherd, Jonathan Tatham

The biggest absence from this list is stalwart Jonathan Potts, but this team is absolutely stacked, top to bottom. Healthy Dowles and Neild are possibly tougher matchups than Rogacki was.

CANADA
Alex Hughes
Andy Ouchterlony
Derek Alexander
John Hassell
Kirk Savage
Oscar Pottinger
Sam Kennedy
Alex Snyder
Alyson Walker
Anne Mercier
Genevieve Dufresne
Kira Frew
Vicky Chow

Alternates: Jeff Lindquist, Morgan Hibbert, Nick Menzies, Jenn Kwok, Kate Crump, Val Dion

No Andrew Lugsdin, no Mike Grant. It’ll be interesting to see the squad Greg Connelly and the UPA pick to match up against these contenders.
