Tournament Update

The 4th annual Lone Survivor Tournament planning is coming along nicely. To date we have 8 teams committed for this year's event:
  • Bay Area
  • HARC (likely to bring 2 sides)
  • Katy
  • HURT
  • San Antonio
  • Austin Huns
  • Woodlands
We still have a couple spots available for teams interested. All the info can be found on the tournament info page under the About Our Club menu.

One exciting announcement is the addition of an old boy match this year. We were approached by the Kwagas a team of S. African ex-pats to host their match as a fundraiser for the J9 Foundation. The J9 Foundation was started by one of South Africa's most acclaimed players, Joost van der Westhuizen to help find a cure for ALS. For more info on the charity check out: http://www.texas9.org/

The plan will be for the Kwagas to take on the Austin Silverbacks in between the semi-finals and championship match. The South African community is very excited for this match and it should be a great time for another great charity.
