LVGUT (Lake Victoria Grass Ultimate Tournament)

On 11th July 2015, an Idea that was casually hatched by a few KFC players during the usual Thursdays Frisbee pick-up games quickly developed into a congregation of Kenya's budding Ultimate community at the Lakeside City of Kisumu to attend the inaugural Lake Victoria Ultimate Grass Tournament (say: LaVGUT).

The tournament was a huge success, with 6 competing teams (Maseno University Frisbee Club, One Acre Fund - Bungoma, Chemelil Frisbee Club, Nairobi Ultimate, Kisumu Spinners and Kisumu Sitatungas), 2 highschool teams (Kibos and Lions High schools) and 1 local team (Young Kisumu Frisbee Club). With the competing teams split into two pools, Nairobi Ultimate topped pool A which saw them encounter pool B winners Kisumu Spinners, culminating into a thrilling seesaw final match up that ended 10:8 in favour of Nairobi Ultimate.

The tournament outcomes were as follows:
