Steel City Boomerang Cup Results

On Saturday the 11th of September under blue skies and a perfect field, the Wallabies hosted the inaugural Steel City Boomerang Cup at St Vincent College in Latrobe, PA.  Due to numbers and field size constraints, we were all happy to play a 12-on-12 tournament in a round robin format.  North Carolina Tigers, Philadelphia Hawks, and the Cincinnati Dockers all came into town to claim the trophy.

In short, after the 6 round robin games were played, it was the PITTSBURGH WALLABIES who came away victors to win the trophy!!  It was a fantastic effort by all players, umpires, and support members in a well played tournament played in great spirit!
