MAAFL season starts in Atlanta

Submitted by Anonymous on May 12, 2005 - 8:59pm

The new MAAFL season started as the old one ended, with defending MAAFL Premiers St. Louis handing the Kookaburras a defeat.  The game was a see-saw ripper with the Blues gutting through 10.10.70 to 9.7.61.  With so many players gone from last year's championship side, there is no telling whether the Blues can manage a third straight league title, but they started out with a tough win on the road at the renowned Horsey Park in the-overly-tittered Cummings, GA.

UMPIRING AT THE OKAY CORRAL


In the Summer heat of 2004, it struck the boys at the Tucson Javelinas, that this might just be about the perfect time to have an umpires clinic in Arizona.  Well, that was fine for the locals but it was a most interesting time for the Umpire’s Coach Brian Green, and his son Sam who slipped away from the melting snow in New York City to be confronted with the wilting cactus and howling coyote.

The scene was Las Vegas, the tournament- The Wild West Shootout, the temperature- a sizzling 90 degrees, so why not hold an umpire clinic as well?


In the backdrop of the pulsating Las Vegas strip, budding, new AFL accrediting umpires took their first steps to Level 1 accreditation. 


The new accreditation course, Level 1, Tier A, was the reason that 10 of us crowded into this hotel room at Terrible’s Hotel and Casino in Nevada.
