Congrats to Northshore Women on their fantastic National Championship win.
It has been along time since CARFU had a XVs National Champion.
Their championship is one built on hard work, dedication and self belief.
A regular season that at times looked bleek, a pivot game of a so called up set of Austin ( maybe mistaken on that) started the build up. Further challenges to their qualification as a third seed to nationals were dismissed with a victory over the #1 seed and then a down to the wire victory over Nova.
Finally a championship match up against Glendale. All of the pundits said it was a forgone conclusion, based on their early season league game Glendale would be champions!
Someone forgot to tell Northshore, and a historical victory was theirs.
This was truly an inspirational national championship run. Thank you Northshore.  |

It's time to start thinking about the Men's CARFU Cup Spring League. I anticipate that the league will be run very similar to the last two years:
-
A fairly loose format, with the clubs making out of the league what they want.
-
Matches will generally be at the level of Midwest League play, with us following Midwest rules and scoring in most instances.
-
All players must be properly cipp registered, but we will not be requiring match reports or ID checks.
-
The entry fee will be the same as last year. I believe that we charged $300.00, which is just enough to cover the referees and trophies....
-
Last season we started league play, the last weekend in March. We will work around any playoff schedules, but its' helpful if the clubs show some scheduling flexibility late in the season.
-
Keep travel to a minimum.
The idea of the league is to help clubs get ready for their playoff run, develop players, have something to play for in the spring and provide quality "B" matches for some clubs.
Let me know if you have any questions, but for now, I just need to know if you want to participate. So far, I have received confirmations from: Griffins, Milwaukee, Woodsmen, Blaze and Clinton Muddy River
