Monday, January 16, 2006 LA Week Representatives By admin @ 11:42 PM :: 722 Views The guys were playing in the curtain raiser game to the Swans vs Kangaroos exhibition game, organised as part of the G'day LA Week festivites. The curtain raiser game pitted the USA revolution versues the Australian All Comers. In perfect conditions the Aussies managed to get away with a win, but not without a fight and the USA team can take a lot from the game and hopefully become better players for it. By the final siren the Aussies had come away with around a 5 goal victory, but surely football was the real winner! Well, football and those criminals selling meat pies for US$7... San Diego was well represented on both teams. For the USA we had new recruit Justin Valley (who will be a welcome addition), old lions Michael Russell, Martin "Mini Me" Mondia, Jeff Blankman, JJ Cisneros and Brandon Blankenship. The Aussies were represneted by Andy Scott, Todd Conway, Cam Trickey and car accident victims Chris Richmond and Brendan McDonald. It was also great to see so many supporters cheering the guys on and we hope it's the start of what looks to be an exciting 2006. Go Lions!
