After losing both of their games on Saturday the Columbus/Arizona Hawkaroos played Minnesota-Milwaukee/Toronto Frozen Blue Bombers for the wooden spoon (5th place)
Sunday's weather looked to be a repeat of Saturday's: hot and sunny. Four teams made it through the semifinal and two others would battle it out to avoid taking home the wooden spoon. After the first day, it seemed like the two pool winners Calgary/Montreal and New York/Baltimore would be the favorites against the second seeds from the opposite pool.
The Columbus Jillaroos traveled to hot and steamy Milwaukee to play their first match of women's football. The women were treated to a 3 game curtain raiser between the men's clubs from Milwaukee, Columbus, and Ohio Valley.
The clouds were rolling in when the feature match started. Columbus sent an initial scare to the home town squad by winning the opening bounce and immediately moving the ball to the goal square. The Milwaukee defense took possession just in front of the goal and spoiled the new comers first salvo.
Three teams competed for the Mile High Hookup Cup in Denver Colorado on Saturday June 19: Arizona/Sacramento, Denver, and the Mid East team comprised of players from Minnesota, Milwaukee, Baltimore-Washington, and Atlanta.
Denver vs Arizona
In the first game of the day, the home town team Denver took on Arizona/Sacramento. With a convincing 3 goals to nil halftime lead it looked like Denver was going to take this win. Arizona was having non of that and came back for a narrow 2 point victory
The New York Magpies hosted the first tournament of the year at Tibbets Brook Park in Yonkers NY. Three teams descended on New York for the first hit out of the year: New York Magpies, Central Blues from Toronto, and the Reds, a mixed team comprised of players from Atlanta, Baltimore, Minnesota, Arizona, Milwaukee, and Denver.
