    California Rugby League

    Looking forward to this concept out West. The more local competitions we can get up and running the better. Imagine long term if the USARL finals had multiple conference winners feeding into a playoff to give a national champion. Imagine a final four in Vegas over Labor Day weekend to crown the...

    USARL Midwest Update

    You've hit the nail on the head.... When we were able to offer serious opposition and an opportunity to play a full 80 minute, 13 a-side game last year v Ontario RL...we had 21 guys suit up. If the infrastructure is there, playing numbers are typically strong here.

    USARL Midwest Update

    These are all valid points and certainly not taken as a criticism. We are always glad to hear of overseas fans taking an interest in our local scene so all feedback is always most welcome and greatly appreciated. Regarding a local conference, this is essentially what we have been trying for 10...

    USARL Midwest Update

    We managed to hold a trial game in Chicago this past weekend at Winnemac Park to ensure that at least some league was played in the city in 2019. Not an ideal year for us but we will be back in 2020. We need to be better and we will be. A Stockyarders team beat a MW selection by 5 tries to 4...

    New teams possible for 2019

    Hi, Thanks for the shout out for the Stockyarders. Apologies for a delayed response. We will not be able to join the USARL until the proposed MW conference comes to fruition. That is dependent on other owner / operators in this region coming forward with the funds and passion available to...

    Stockyarders to Host Ontario in Exhibition Game

    Great to hear. The Ontario team was drawn from the local clubs in the area (3 teams I believe). We hope to work with them to introduce a new conference for the USARL in time. Great people to work with and we hope the next step is to visit Toronto for a return fixture in 2019. Stockyarders team 2018

    Stockyarders to Host Ontario in Exhibition Game

    No need to apologize. We just appreciate guys taking an interest. This was a 13 v 13 game over 80 minutes. After 8 years of playing 9 a-side development league (40 minute games) in Chicago this was a step towards applying to enter the USARL. Given the quality of the opposition yesterday's MWRL...

    USARL Results

    Our MWRL games are 9 a-side and typically played as 2 x 20 minute halves or 4 x 15 minute quarters (this was the case on Saturday). Cleveland are operated by Monte Gaddis and we are looking forward to developing a Chicago v Cleveland rivalry in future years. We (Stockyarders) are slated to...

    MWRL 2018

    We have from players, we have had several players travel down form that area over the years to play in our Chicago based games. We are looking into the feasibility of starting a new team to add to the MWRL stable alongside the Stockyarders and Joliet. Wisconsin is certainly in the running.

    MWRL 2018

    There is definitely a market for Rugby league in the city. Plenty of the union playing community want to try our sport and commit to it if it fits with their own schedule. We just need to be able to offer regular fixtures to the rugby playing community and time the games well as not to clash...

    They are certainly welcome back if they are able to re-group.

    MWRL 2018

    That is certainly the idea. We nearly got there in 2012 when we had four teams play in the MW and three teams in 2014. We look to get back to that stage and are planning to operate three teams locally this year and eventually apply as a whole to be a conference in the USARL.

    We are - however the distances involved would be too great for us to join the main comp at this stage.

    MWRL 2018
