San Diego Lions

MIRA LOMA, California (July 16, 2001) The San Diego Lions culminated
their undefeated season on Saturday, beating the Santa Cruz Roos to win their
third consecutive California Australian Football League (CAFL) Grand Final.
The final score of the game was 9.15 69 for the Lions to 6.4 40 for the
Roos. The game, played under windy conditions, was a rugged, hard-fought
tactical affair that featured the Roos flooding their defensive zone and the
Lions' normally-potent offense struggling to break through.

Pub Glasses

At the admin conference Phoenix announced their Pub Glass program. I think this is a great way for all clubs to make some money, and also for Phoenix to do some fund-raising by running this so that all clubs can participate.

I would urge other clubs to develop similar programs or ideas for things that you have done as a club. This way the number of items available to all clubs increases, the work is spread across many clubs, and we all benefit.

I was lucky enough top get sent a couple of glasses from Phoenix and they are good quality.
