Game Day Details - Craig Ruggles Cup vs Baton Rouge 3/29

Hey Lonestars,

This Saturday March 29th is our 1st USAFL Game of 2014 against our old friend and foe, Baton Rouge.

This will be a special day for both clubs and the Ruggles family with teams playing for the inaugural 'Craig Ruggles Cup', in honor of our late, great teammate and friend.

All supporters, old and new welcome to help the Lonestars kick off the 2014 season. Sausage sizzle and drinks (soft drinks and Karbach) will be available.

That evening we will head to The Phoenix on Westheimer to have a drink with the Baton Rouge boys and to farewell our superstar ruckman Willo & wife Ingrid before they leave us for Oz after 4 years in Houston.  We will also have Dennis Ryan, USAFL President, in town for the weekend, and he will be playing for Baton Rouge and attending the weekend functions.  So everyone try to make it out whether you are playing or supporting!!

**USAFL Dues are required to qualify for Nationals.  Everyone needs to register prior to the game at https://usafl.com/registration.  This year they will not be granting exemptions as they did last year so it is very important that everyone registers and qualifies in time.  USAFL dues are currently $65 and will go up later in the year.  You will receive a discount on the Lonestars' Club Dues if you pay for the USAFL Dues in advance.
