The following were nominated for the Gayray Shirley Hughes Awards 2010.

Most memorable moment (on or off the pitch)

The moment from the previous year that sticks in the mind the most.

• Shooter McGavin winning spirit at KK23 - hearing "Shooter McGavin" being announced as winners of KK23 spirit and walking up to the front to the Jurassic Park theme and a standing ovation :-)
• Kebab Hammer winning Love Easter - Bet you didnt see that happening. boo-ya!
• Dave Hammond's scoring celebrations at All Ireland Open Championships - laughing while scoring a point then catching the next point on his head.
• Chunks - Garry decided to bring his Yard of Ale glass to the Love Easter Party at Linter’s house. A truly inept person from LYIT decided to give this Yard of Ale Challenge a go. This turned into quite a spectacle as he threw up back into the glass and then peer-pressured into finishing it by the merciless crowd that gathered to watch this chunky event.
• I’m Good to Go! - 3-Pint Challenges were taking place in the build up to the Belfast Ultimate Halloween Party at Casa de Linter and Ben. Gary and Julia (Queens finest) started their challenge. Within a few minutes Julia was on the floor out of the game and Gary was outside throwing up in the shrubbery. After another trip outside for Gary and Julia back in the game they managed to finish in a ridiculous 7 minutes. After which they were good to go!

Best match

Includes all matches organised by BU or played by BU associated teams

• Swerve vs Team Tash (Christmas Cracker Final)
• Kebab Hammer vs Deep Heat (Love Easter Final)
• Deep Heat vs CHASE (first game of Summer League) - A highly spirited spirited game that was well contesteted by both teams with a very tight outcome.
• BUG vs Jabba (All Ireland Mixed) - Beating Jabba at All Ireland Mixed with only 6 players
• BUG1 vs Jabba (All Ireland Open Championships) - beating Jabba at All Irelands, despite being "unjustly" seeded below them
• BUG1 vs Rebel (All Ireland Open Championships)
• CHASE vs Mythagone - "The Bristol boys had a grudge to settle here and after both teams fought though the fierce winds it came down to universe point. We had the wind in our favour but they worked the disc well and kept making it into our half before we forced a turn. Every time they turned, they swamped the disc with a cup and every time John picked it up, found a gap and chucked it in their endzone. I remember having to run my ass off on D but the chest pain was totally worth it as we picked up the score and won the game." - a CHASE player

Ineptitude

Who possess an uncanny ability at not being able to do things correctly, like remembering to bring boots to a tournament (or a sleeping bag, change of clothes, ...)

• The Lintorr & Ben show - Christmas Cracker: Linter and Ben decided to mod Dave’s batch of orange kit with spray-paint for the their beginner team “The Linter and Ben Show”. Linter turned on his car lights as it was getting dark and the battery drained. The kit is still a work in progress.
  For their beginners tournament, Lintorr and Ben thought it would be really good to have a barbecue. They even remember to bring one and food to go on the barbecue. What they did forget to do was bring enough matches to light it, a knife to cut the baps, and a spatula to flip the burgers! After the tournament they realised they had actually brought them all along.
• Ben McFeeters - one half of the Lintorr and Ben show. The following is a recounting of what happened at All-Irelands - "Steve, I did what you said about trying to get some protein straight after the last game so I brought a tin of tuna with me. Unfortunately I didn’t bring a tin opener so I tried smashing it with a rock. That didn’t work so I tried stamping it onto the rock. I managed to make a few holes but loads of dirt and grass had got into the tuna so I had to through it away. Still feeling pretty hungry right now."
• Chris 'Lintorr' Linter - the other half of the Lintorr and Ben show, and the hider of others car keys in other peoples shoes. Lintorr has actually forgotten to be inept for faily long periods of time through out the year. Still, the list of his inept activities is still pretty long:
  • At the first social of 2010, Lintorr logged into Facebook on Garry's laptop, and then left the party, while still being logged in on Garry's laptop. He got FB raped so after.
  • Got lost on the way to Ballysillen Leisure Centre, several times.
  • Drained his car battery at Siege of Limerick
  • Left his boots and other kit behind after training on numerous occasions
  • Took Robs car keys home after practice one evening
  • His BUG number ‘126’ is the anniversary of him and his ex
  • CHASE Getaway: Missed turn off for Coleraine and persuaded John (the driver) Magherafelt was close enough. Asked Greamer for a drink of his Fanta Lemon and poured it over Windy.
  • Lost 2 discs, pair of shorts, 2 drinks bottles and 1 chair at tournaments this year
  • Cork Open: Missed the turn off for Cork in Dublin and lost about 2 hours driving down the east coast of Ireland
  • Cork Open: Left a tub of yogurt in his bag, sat on the bag, yogurt went all over his clothes
  • Indoor varsities: Parked car in Cork city centre all weekend, came back to find it clamped after the tournament
  • Posted nominations to the egroup instead of to googlemail
• Chunks - the Letterkenny guy (James McG.?) - for the shambles that was his Yard of Ale attempt (see 'Chunks' above'). Even Lintor calls this guy inept.
• Julia W. and Gary McCartan - for failing to do a 3-pint challenge in a reasonable time
• Robert Lindsay - ?

Crippalator award

Who's most likely to send someone to hospital

• Luke Carlisle - for playing the long game by smashing Greamers elbow at Cork and waiting a year and a half to watch it fall apart. He also hucked a disc into Garry's face at close range during one of the spring training sessions.
• Pete Gaston - as always
• Stephen 'Greamer' Graham - he is a danger to himself and those around him. He managed to break his right arm at work doing some 'server administration'. A month after getting the cast off, he fell at training, shattered his left elbow and had to have it replaced. "Given to the man who has the ability to stud me at least once a month." - a BUG player

Sharking

Who's been chasing the buck. If you don't understand, ask your mother.

• Chris Linter - always seems to be tapping something at any frisbee occasion or wedding.
• Iain Murphy and tattoo girl - these two were practically having sex in Lintor's bed before sojourning to a camp bed in the bathroom.
• Julia W. - as well as taking advantage of Rob, she tried to get friendly with "Thrusts" at Indoor Varsities but he was too busy being awesome. This made us all very sad.
• Keith Maxwell - a rampant pursuer of women in Irish Ultimate. I hear he has offered his services to coach the Belfast Ultimate women. No one is fooled!
  From one of his nominators - "After asking my mother as instructed one person seems to fit the bill perfectly and that would be Keith Maxwell. Many possible examples could have been given but one great quote which illustrates the point is, "if you want a get a girl, play for Deep Heat""

Party Antics

Who deserves a special mention for their 'activities' during parties.

• Chris 'Windy' Millar - few people are as legendary as Windy at a party. The Cork Open party particularly stands out, where he brought a dinosaur head back to the hostel after the party. the scene is recalled by an anonymous eye witness...
  

  The sound of a door slamming wakes me up. I hear the Marco laugh and listen as familiar voices move up the corridor. The voices start drunken whispers,

  “ssshhh, shhh, should we go wake Steve?”
  “Naw you already covered him in beer, he’s gonna be pissed”
  “haha! I wanna see what he does”

  My brain wakes up. Those fuckers stole the T-Rex head didn’t they?

  “Right then, real quiet guys...”

  The door smashes open. A top heavy silhouette stands in the doorway... Yeah. They stole it.

• Chunks - the Letterkenny guy (James McG.?) - who else would bow to peer pressure and drink a yard of their own vomit.
• Iain Murphy and tattoo girl - where better place to setup a camp bed than in the bathroom. They weren't too happy when people went in to use the toilet. The incident is recalled by one of the witnesses - "At the Love Easter party at Lintorrs house this nominee was busy getting acquainted with a young lass quite simply known as "Tattoo girl". This intelligent specimen was later seen wheeling a camp bed out into the hallway, which was soon followed by a large queue forming outside the toilet. When they eventually emerged (after we opened the lock with a coin) the nominee revealed the pair where "tired and went for a nap in the bathroom". Windy was on hand to collect the rings scattered on the floor, Iain's dignity still there."
• Robert Lindsay - from the stories heard about Rob in Hawaii
• The Bike (Rob, Luke, Gary, Marco) -

Mystery Award

What category is it going to be? Who knows. Categories are nominated along with nominees for that category.

• Quote of the Year - Chris Linter and Stephen Hammond - "I came here to kick ass and score points"
  "...and I'm all out of ass"
• Quote of the Year - Keith Maxwell - "If you want a get a girl, play for Deep Heat"
• Most Unspirited - Adam Glover - The normal forerunner for MSP, Adam has instead been cultivating a 'bad boy' image, in an attempt to win Fox's 'Man of the Year'. One instance comes to mind, regarding a caught, out-of-bounds pull. Adam displayed a fragrant disrespect to the rules of the game and put the disc in where he wanted to, regardless of where the rules said he had to take it from, and no-one was going to tell him otherwise.
