On Saturday, June 11 the Milwaukee Bombers hosted the first Australian Football tournament in Madison, WI.

The Bombers have been wanting to attract more players from Madison, with the goal of eventually starting a club there, for several years. With that goal in mind the idea for a Midwest tournament came about in discussion after a Madison metro match last summer.
