Stateside Footy was at the 2011 USAFL Nationals.  In the first of four episodes, the Boston Demons/Columbus Jillaroos/Baltimore-Washington Eagles open up the tournament against Arizona/Calgary.

The second half features a 2x20 Men's Division 2 match between the Boston Demons and the Portland Steelheads.

With Nationals now less than a week away, I wrote this article in tribute to the United States Australian Football League's efforts (specifically, the efforts of women's footy secretary, Andrea Casillas) to support women's health and female footy players, and to any family and friends affected by breast cancer. read more »

It started out as an overcast morning with a few showers. As the Jillaroos arrived to the field, the Toronto Central Blues men’s team was just wrapping up their 2nd game against the Toronto Eagles.

Today was the inaugural day of the brand new Jills jerseys. As each girl excitedly pulled out her jersey and tried it on, the Lady Central Blues started to come out of the crowd and remark how impressed they were with the Jills’ new jerseys. One girl even said she wanted to move to Columbus just to get her own!

As the Jills started warming up, the clouds dissipated and the sun began to beat down; it quickly became a hot and humid day as the girls took the pitch. The Jills traveled strong and had 6 girls as well as both coaches, two Jacks, and four parents as fans. Toronto also had six girls for the game as several of their players are in Australia for the International Cup. The starting lineup for today as chosen by coach Scott “Scoota” Matheson was Stephanie “Macca” McKitrick at full-back, Erin Voden at half-back, Kristi “Kujo” Baldwin at Ruck, Sarah “Soup” Plummer at rover, Sara “Mouth” Matheson at half-forward and Jamie Dailey at full-forward. The ladies would play four ten-minute quarters since neither team had an interchange and the humidity level was high. One of the Lady Blues even sarcastically remarked that ‘their igloos melted earlier that day’. read more »
