Milwaukee Rugby Football Club, with help from the Wisconsin Club's win over Lincoln Park, will be playing in the Midwest Western League playoffs to fight for spot in the Midwest Elite Eight next spring. Games take place November 5th and 6th in Cottage Grove, WI with a first round match-up against Des Moines. The winner advances to play the loser of a 2nd place seeding game with that winner taking the #4 seed for the Midwest Western League and advancing to the round of 8 in the spring season. More information on standings and seeding can be found here.
2 teams from the Midwest qualify for the D2 National Championships and a string of 5 playoff wins would see Milwaukee return to the national venue! Best of luck to the team this weekend!

Midwest 7s All-Star Update
August 26-27th, 2011: A belated congratulations goes out to Jamie Gasparella who was a late addition to the Midwest 7s team roster. He joined Josh Kraemer at the US Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, CA for matches against the All-Star 7s Territorial sides and the Collegiate All-Americans. Josh and Jamie joined players from the Youngbloodz, 1823 and the Chicago Lions under Lions Coach Aaron Manheimer for a few days on the West Coast.
The team took youth to the fields against some very experienced All-Stars and Eagles and came out with a 7th place finish posting a 2-4 record on the weekend. Jamie and Josh scored 3 tries apiece and accounted for half the Midwest tries for the tournament.
More information is available at here. Congrats Jamie and Josh! Well done on the MRFC!
