A week after Paganello 14 teams from British Universities came to Rimini to compete in the Festival Italia Tournament. The atmosphere of 2,000 students playing so many different sports was amazing and the nightlife was incredible. The ultimate players had a fantastic time on the beach; they don’t often get to play beach ultimate at home. Rimini blessed them with beautiful weather throughout the tournament and the players really enjoyed themselves.

The Final was between Southampton 1 and Southampton 2, with Southampton 2 victorious in sudden death. Swansea beat Exeter 2 to win the Plate. Spirit was fantastic throughout the tournament for the more experienced tour veterans and for the first time tour teams; the Spirit award went to Bath.
