The Dallas Magpies continued their strong start to the season defeating the Denver Bulldogs and the Austin crows comfortably on June 2nd in Allen, TX.

In what was expected to be the biggest game in club history, the pies went into the first game confident but wary of the Bulldogs winning history and on-field strength and experience.  Perfect conditions for football on a calm Saturday morning made for a great contest and from the very first bounce it was a fierce contest.

The match was close all day and after taking a 3 goal lead 

Milwaukee's Heather O'Keeffe Gives an Update from Queensland

My dad is a founding member of the USAFL and by default I have grown up around footy. For as long as I can remember I have been watching footy in the park, and I probably learned to handball before I learned to throw a spiral.
