In the early rounds, a few teams have proven they are contenders for the championship. Take Em To Court and the Splash Brothers both won their first round games by over 30 points.
On the ice, 15 co-rec teams and 10 men’s teams have turned out to vie for a shot at intramural glory with a broomball championship. Derp Dynasty made a statement to defend its title after a convincing victory led by Kevin Farrell, who tallied six goals.
