[edit] About
The Thundering Herd are the leading Mixed team in London. We pride ourselves on playing hard, but ensuring the party and spirit of the game are always top priority!
[edit] Present Day
In recent months the Thundering Herd have represented the UK in the mixed Division at WUCC 2006, finishing 38th and won the London Summer League. This season we hope to do well in the London Winter League and finish high in the Mixed Tour.
[edit] Origin
During the spring of 2003 in the inauspicious surroundings of Walpole Park in Ealing, a few mates from work decided to hang out in the unseasonable sunshine and chuck a frisbee around. The thought of playing an organised sport with rules and a scoring system were far from most peoples minds, however there were a select few (Bullet Time, RZLA and Kathy) who decided this could be something more than a casual fling.
Around the same time they discovered that two legends of the game worked at the same company. Surprisingly, these legends were prepared to endure countless hours of being asked 'what do you mean by 'force, 'what's a stack', 'show me that forehand thing again' etc. They were hooked, however a team isn't a team without a name...The early summer of 2003 was surprisingly hot and dry and their home patch of grass had turned dry and dusty. Upon watching this bunch of lumbering fools clump around this dustbowl in seemingly random directions a name was born: The Thundering Herd. From there, we have never looked back...the past is prologue!
