Why is everything GREEN?

It's because of our long-standing association with cucumbers. 

In 1999 a team called Cucumbers in Kakadu joined the Perth Ultimate League. The history behind the choice of that name is no longer discussed out of respect for those involved who are quite embarrassed by the entire "incident", but it does explain why our team colour is green.

When they joined the league the Cucumbers team had been playing for a short while under the guise of WAPET Discoverers.  As the Cucumbers - a team consisting of a few experienced players and lot of beginners - started to gain more game experience, and picked up a few veteran players, they began to have more success. The name of the team in the next league was changed to 'Fear the Cucumber', that name choice being in line with previously well established vegetable references, as well as having a 'tougher' image - and making people wonder why they should be so frightened of a common salad ingredient.

After a couple more name changes, the team eventually became known as just FEAR. The FEAR team managed to win PUL 12 after a few despairing 2nd placings.  After accumulating a few more players, there were enough to form 2 teams for PUL, with the names 'Worry' and 'Concern', since each team on it's own was less than the full FEAR.  In 2006, after some intermediate name changes, these teams were renamed FEARsome and FEARless.

The teams would still combine for larger tournaments, such as Phoenix (WA State Ultimate Championships) and the Winter Solstice tournament. FEAR has performed well at Phoenix in recent years, finishing 2nd in 2003, 2004, and 2006, but still chasing the elusive win.

In 2006 the senior members of the club combined with players from South Australia to form FEAR Discinsonia, in order to compete in the Masters Division at the World Ultimate Club Championships.
