War at the Shore 2010

So same question, is it because Chicago haven't got a full side?

With their history of forfeits it might be the Raiders who can't raise a full team.

Just checked out Niu's twitter page and the Midwest RL only have an eight man squad.

Taking an 8 man squad is more related to cost. It is cheaper to take a squad of 8 than 17. That's the bottom line with this decision - we just don't have the funds to take more players. We could have raised a larger squad and have had plenty of interest locally - but then guys have to pay their own way and when you don't have anything more permanent or solid than a one off tournament this year it is difficult to persuade guys to commit to that. It is a situation that we are reviewing for future years.

Still an amazing effort Chicago Saint to get a team (of any size) to commit to a tournament like War at the Shore.

Hopefully for your players, one of the AMNRL or even Canadian sides can head across to Chicago and play a full 13 on 13 game later this year or next year to help build momentum.

Hopefully there are some pictures coming soon. I'd like to see our first look at the Stockyarders in action.

It looks like DC International (a combined DC Slayers-Fairfax Eagles team) took the tournament. Pretty impressive!

Thanks for all the messages of support. Just got back from WAS XIII - great event, very well run by the AMNRL! To narrowly lose 16-10 to the Raiders with a team including 6 guys who had never played any form of Rugby before was a fantastic achievement. We will be going back next year, hopefully plus more events.

Photos and maybe video to follow...........

Cheers doyley. I wonder how the shootout works?

[roostersalltheway]

It was a draw at full time so they simply had a 2 on 1 shoot out.

Just like a training drill pretty much.

Attacking team has two players and defending team has one.

First team not to score when attacking lost.
