Last weekend saw the SD Lions host and win the Western Regional II title by finishing with a perfect 4-0 record.

A well run weekend saw the SD Lions host the WRII tournament in La Jolla, CA.  Perfect weather, Aussie food and beer, and some great footy was enjoyed by a crowd of 300+ over the 2 days.  The tournament featured some of the best teams in the west compete on both Saturday and Sunday with the results effecting their 2006 National rankings.  The Denver Bulldogs, Arizona Hawks, OC Bombers and a combined team from the Seattle Grizzlies and the Vegas Gamblers all played in some tough and well fought games of footy.  Each team playing 2 games on Saturday and 2 games on the Sunday, in USFooty tournament style, was the perfect prelude to the National Championships in October.  The SD Lions won the tournament finishing with a perfect 4-0 record, which was not easy to say the least.  The record for the weekend was as follows:

SD Lions 4-0

Denver Bulldogs 3-1

Arizona Hawks 1-3

OC Bombers 1-3

Vegas/Seattle 1-3

MVP of the tournament went to Rossy from the OC Bombers, who played fantastic in every game and was well deserved of the title.  Most Consistent went to Freddy from the SD Lions, who time and time again dominates the center.  Well done both players.

Congratulations to all clubs for their participation and efforts over the weekend, it was one of the best weekends of footy in a long time.  And a HUGE thanks to the SD Lions ladies for all their efforts in setting up the concession stands and ensuring that everyone was well fed and hydrated……
