At my signal, unleash hell...

Tomorrow marks the official beginning of the EAFL season with our home game against the North Carolina Tigers. With it, so does positioning for the Nationals in October.

Last season our sole win was against Philadelphia at the end of the season.

A month ago we played what amounted to a very physical pre-season game against the NC Tigers with only three people coming off our bench to about ten for the Tigers. We walked away with a 2-behind win.

North Carolina should be coming with a smaller and overall older contingent than it had on its home ground as the team in the spring and fall is populated by a number of the college students that attend the Universities in the area the team calls home. Eagles coaches aren't expecting anything easy tomorrow as the Eagles have been plagued over the last two years by inconsistent play and slow starts.

The last two weeks of metro matches, coaches have put an emphasis on starting fast, keeping the intensity up and winning the ruck.

Results will be posted at the end of the weekend, including NC's second game of the day, an EAFL match against the Philadelphia Hawks.
