The USAFL held its national tournament in Austin, TX this year and the weather was expected to be warm and dry. However, Texas experienced its first rain in months during the tournament, threatening to postpone or even cancel some games. The Blues played as part of Ohio Valley/Milwaukee during the tournament and there was plenty of skill in the starting lineup as well as the bench. The schedule looked tough, with matches agains Las Vegas and the combined B teams of Golden Gate and LA.

The 2011 USAFL National Tournament is upon us, and the Blues are combining with Louisville and Cincinnati again to form the Ohio Valley River Rats. This year the tournament is in Austin and has been difficult for our guys to make it. So, due to numbers, we're picking up some players from Milwaukee as well. The Blues are sending veterans Dan Sergott and Jamie Wilson, as well as Dave Zitko playing his sophomore season with the club.

It was a fine day for a footy match in Columbus on Saturday. The temperature was hovering around 80 degrees and the sun was shining bright. The Blues once again paired up with Cincinnati and Louisville to form the Ohio Valley River Rats taking on the Columbus Jackaroos in Columbus, OH. Columbus proved to be a tough opponent, beating the Rats and the Milwaukee Bombers earlier in the season at Cincinnati, as well as taking down the defending MAAFL champs, the Nashville Kangaroos. The site of the match was just off the campus of Ohio State University on a pitch that was spread quite long.

This weekend marks the opening match of the Blues 2011 season! We'll be pairing up with the Cincinnati Dockers and traveling to Louisville to take on the Kings. This will be a full length match between the three clubs, who combine to form the Ohio Valley River Rats. This will be a great start to the season to get prepared for the talented opposition we'll be facing this year. The match will be held at 2 PM at Seneca Park in Louisville. Post game festivities will take place around the corner at the Frankfort Avenue Beer Depot.

Here's the 2011 schedule folks. Unfortunately, we don't have any matches in St. Louis this year, but will be traveling across the Midwest for several tournaments to take on some great opposition. Due to our small size this year, we're combining with the Louisville Kings and the Cincinnati Dockers to form the Ohio Valley River Rats. We're working on recruiting now to make sure that we can be our own team once again next year. So without further adieu, here's the schedule:
