Lots happening for the Atlantic Cup

[spinnerhowland]

Once again the sponsors of the Axemen and the event have stepped up to make this a great event - our partners go an incredible job making sure that any teams that visit Jacksonville feel that they are truly welcome and a pleasure to have visit the City.

The week of the Rugby League Atlantic Cup is starting to get some real momentum with specials being offered from sponsors and special events designed to show some local customs for the visiting teams. Hotels of Jacksonville will be offering rooms at $49 per night during the week at the Days Inn in Neptune Beach and a evening of celebrating at Time Out Sports Grill is planned for Wednesday post game to get everyone in the Thanksgiving mood

More details and more events that will be confirmed in the coming days will be posted at www.jaxaxe.com and also on the Axemen Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/jaxaxe

AND YES - All three games will be streamed LIVE and details will be posted on all our sites and social outlets so you can find the links

Great stuff all-round, 'Burgh had a quality team this year in the Carlton League with Russell Aitken, Ian Donnelly and Brent Sherwin all having a run at some stage.
