American Revolution Squads Named

July 31 2010, the American Revolution are scheduled to play the Canadian Northwind in Toronto, Canada, in the annual 49th Parallel Cup game. In 2009 the Revolution were victorious by 50 points and they will be looking to back this result up with gusto.

A full day of Australian Football is planned for Toronto with the Boston Demons travelling up to play the Ontario Awfuls and the women's national team, the American Freedom, will be taking on the Canadian Northern Lights.

For the first time the Revolution will also be taking a team of Under 23 players to battle the Canadian Under 23 team. This is a fantastic initiative that is certainly a positive step for Australian Football in North America.

The schedule for the day is:

• 10am - Boston Demons v Ontario Awfuls
• Noon - American Revolution Under 23 v Canadian Northwind Under 23
• 2pm - American Freedom vs Canadian Northern Lights
• 4pm - American Revolution v Canadian Northwind
