Hoffman (left) and Smith (right) Four senior club members traveled to LAUs in Lemont this past weekend to compete on the President's XV with players from other Midwest unions.

 Although the "motley" team struggled against their more experienced opponents, Jeff Noe, Dom Singleton, Ben Smith, and Jeff Hoffman of the Milwaukee Harlequins RFC played very well in their appearances for the team.

  Gary Lobaugh, coach of the President's XV wrote:

"Thank you for passing along such great players. Their attitude towards playing with lesser skilled/experienced players and enthusiasm was a welcome addition to the weekend. Good luck with your fall!"

  Due to their outstanding play, team captain Ben Smith and long-time veteran Jeff Hoffman were invited to Midwest Thunderbird tryouts beginning August 19th for a chance to compete against the visiting Ontario Blues on August 22nd. The Blues squad includes 9 capped internationals on their roster and they will be a formidable opponent to the Midwest side.
