Florida Redbacks hit the news

Following a visit from a Channel 47 reporter to training this week and to the Baltimore/Washington game, the Florida Redbacks will be on television this weekend. They will feature on Channel 47 on Friday and Sunday at 8.00pm. This is a first for the Redbacks and is a great reflection on the hard work of their committee.  Be sure to look for it if you are in the viewing area. Congratulations to you all.
