MANILA, Philippines – The Boracay Dragons frisbee team took home the silver medal in the Open Division of the 3rd World Championship of Beach Ultimate in Lignano Sabbiadoro, Italy earlier this week.

 

It is the 2nd consecutive Finals appearance of the team.

They also claimed runner-up honors in the 2007 edition of the tournament.

The Dragons fell to the United States in the finals, 13-9.

According to the tournament's website, the Dragons defeated defending champion Italy in the semi-finals, 13-4, to set up the meeting with the United States.

The Dragons' Kristian Guerrero emerged as one of the top scorers in the Open Division, amassing 29 points in 8 games.

The team is set to arrive in Manila Wednesday night.

Beach Ultimate is a flying disc team sport, with each team composed of 5 players.

The goal of each team is to score by catching the disc at the endzone of the opponent's side of the field, much like in American football. -- Report from ANC
