To One and All:
 
     It's been another long week for my 'wife for life' AJ and I, and it looks likes we've gotten over pneumonia . . . we are feeling much better . . . thanks for all the 'get well' notes, and special cures some of you sent in.  None the less, i
 
     Last weekend was about it for the Midwest and all the beginning playoffs, and National playoffs around the country for Women's Rugby.  In the Women's Premier Division National Championship the Berkeley All Blues are the Champions this year . . . congratulations.  In the National Women's Division I Championship match the Atlanta Harlequins are the Champions this year.
     On the brighter side our Pittsburgh Angels beat Severn River in the Women's Division II National Championship 8 to zip to take the Gold this year . . . CONGRATULATIONS.
     In the Midwest Men's Division III there's the semifinals of each Conference that were played this past weekend with Erie and the Kalamazoo Dogs coming out on top in the Eastern Conference, and the Chicago Riot and the Iowa City Ducks coming out on top in the Western Conference.  The Midwest Men's DI, DII, and DIII Clubs are done in match play for this fall, and some are headed for their respective Championship play in the spring . . . follow the links below to see how it's gone, and what's coming up in the spring.
     The Big Ten Universities Men's Division had a 7s Tournament over the weekend with the University of Wisconsin - Madison winning it all . . . congratulations guys.
     The WIIL Conference had its quarterfinals this past weekend and congratulations goes out the Final 4 that will be playing for the Championship in the upcoming spring . . . Illinois State University, the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, the University of Wisconsin - Stout, and the University of Wisconsin - Whitewater all won their respective matches pretty handily to advance . . . CONGRATULATIONS to all the guys, Coaches, and Administrators that got their Clubs this far.
     St. John's University won the NSCRO Region 3 Central Final 4 playoff, and Grove City College took 3rd place.
     The results for all of the above mentioned matches are below under the different Divisions.
 
     There are a few Tournaments coming up, and the Steel Valley Rugby Club already had a pretty good turnout for the 'Best of the Rest' Tournament that took place last weekend . . . the results are below.  On the 24th of November there's the 4th Annual Turkey Bowl Tournament, http://www.midwestrugby.org/turkeybowl12.htm, with a Press Release, http://www.midwestrugby.org/turkeybowlpressrelease12.htm, all about the Tournament . . . it's all about one our own who has Leukemia . . . check it out and if you want to start getting back into shape after your big Thanksgiving get in touch with Lou Raymond, l...@woodsmenrugby.com, (C) 847-363-8422 . . . it's open to One and All, and a great way to show your support for a very worthwhile charitable cause.
     The Steel Valley Rugby Club is also holding a Winter Tournament on the 5th of January, 2013 . . . it's the 'Got Your Back' 10s Tournament, http://www.facebook.com/events/327467987360973/, which is a benefit for a Youngstown, OH, Police Officer and his fight against stage three Melanoma.  Of course there's the Kalamazoo Dogs Rugby Club's 19th Annual Snowball 10s Tournament on the 9th of February . . . I haven't got the details up yet, but it's pretty much the same as last year's, which you can see here, http://www.midwestrugby.org/kalamazoosnowballt2012.htm.  I'll have both Winter Venues on my site sooner than later, and if your Club has one coming up send me the information, and I'll put on my site too.
     One other Tournament happened this weekend way out on the East Coast, and I'm only mentioning it because Minnesota's own Rob Holder was the Head Coach of the Combined Services All Star Team.  The Tournament was the 16th Ambassador's Shield, which was a great success.  The Combined Services All Star Team lost the main match of the day against the New Zealand Ambassador's XV 41 to 18 . . . to read all about that match and the others played in the Tournament go to http://www.rugbymag.com/tournaments/6421-16th-ambassadors-shield-a-great-success.html.
 
     The Midwest AGM is sometime in January, but I don't have a date yet, or know where it will be held . . . I need to get on that right away 'cause this one will be very interesting when it comes to the Clubs that will stay in the Midwest, and those that will be in Collegiate Conferences only, with that lead coming directly from USA Rugby's 'new' Collegiate program.
    
     Talk to you next week with more information on the Midwest and USA Rugby than reporting scores . . . keep on Ruckin' and enjoy . . .
 
Cheers,
Shawn
