Fairfield, OH - In the sweltering Cincinnati heat, up against MAAFL foes, and with a chip on their shoulders - the blokes from Columbus traveled strong and came down with something to prove. The first match pitted them against the Milwaukee Bombers who had traveled light, and were further hurt when a player needed medical attention after a bee sting alergic reaction. Reserves and newcomers from Ohio Valley and Columbus admirably plugged the gaps to give them a spirited fighting squad on the pitch.
This weekend marks the return of Australian Football to Los Angeles, with the Los Angeles Dragons taking on the San Diego Lions on Saturday at Balboa Park in Encino. The recently formed Dragons have grown out of the desire and demand for a primarily LA based 18a-side team, with upwards of 40 players expressing their interest and commitment to the establishment of the Dragons. 
The USAFL develops Aussie Rules in the USA not just by promoting playing of the sport across the country - it actively promotes umpire accreditation too. Umpiring? Yes! After all, you can't have a game without umpires. From early on, promotion of umpires has been a priority, with hosting of umpire clinics as early as 2000 and the USA was the first ever country to send an umpire to the International Cup in 2002.
The Dublin Convention & Visitors Bureau announced tonight at the Dublin City Council Meeting that it has secured the 2013 or 2014 United States Australian Rules Football National Championship and the 2012 49th Parallel Cup. Both events will attract participants from across the world and generate a total economic impact of nearly $2 million for the City of Dublin.Pages
