 Correspondents 

Sion "Brummie" Scone
Brummie coached GB Open from 2010-2012, and also coached the GB World Games team in 2013. He has been running skills clinics in the UK since 2005, and more recently Colombia & Ireland. He started playing Ultimate at Loughborough University, captaining them to their first National Championship, and has played Open Club with Clapham and EMO (WUCC 2006 / 2010), and GB Open 2007-12. 

Brummie was with the ShowGame from very early on with his first piece on Lessons from Japan. He has continued to write fantastic commentary on Clapham’s season to the great No Heroes. 


Charlie Blair 
Charlie have been playing since 2007 when she joined Kent Ultimate. After representing GBJW in u20 division she was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to join Iceni in 2009. She have since had the privilege of both playing and enjoying many successes with them at national and international levels. She was also a member of the bronze medal winning u23 GB women squad in 2010 and had the privilege of captaining the team in the second u23 cohort in 2013.

Charlie successfully covered the 2013 season and looks to cement her role in 2014, but she cannot do it alone! Get involved ladies! 


James Burbidge 
James started his Ultimate career at Durham University and, on moving to London, played for Flaming Galahs (mixed) and Burro Electrico (open). He went on to captain Burro Electrico for 3 years and founded and captained the mixed team Scarecrew.

James joined the ShowGame with his amazing work on the World Games series and is now the correspondent for the open division, although not exclusively. 


Mixed Division 
We don't have a correspondent for this division and would really like one!! Please contact us if you play at Mixed Tour and want to help us bring great news from this division - email showgameblog@gmail.com! 

What?
The ShowGame started as a conversation between David "DP" Pryce and Josh Coxon Kelly on the media coverage seen from the likes of SkyD Magazine and Get Horizontal. We felt that there was a large gap in the UK and that we could offer something.

The ShowGame was born...

 Mission Statement 

To provide a central news, media, commentary and discussion point for Ultimate in the UK. Bringing together the skills and experience of some of the best players, coaches and commentators in the aim of making The ShowGame a great site for everyone; reader and writer alike.
