USA Rugby posted its list of players invited to participate in the U-20 Elite Camps for the Women's National Team (WNT). The approximately 50 players who are invited to the camp are the elite few who will be competing for spots on the U20 WNT. We are proud to announce that two of those players are alumnae from our area high school programs. Maggie Reidy (DSHA) and Brittany Houston (Vernon). Both these players are currently playing at UW-Milwaukee.
Congratulations Brittany and Maggie and good luck!

Founders' Cup Dispute Heats Up!
The CMHS front office has downplayed accusations of mis-care and negligence in the possession of the famed Founders Cup. The CMH Director of Rugby replied unequivocally that; "The Cup remains safely in our trophy case. No harm will come to it." Curiously, the release also references a noted local rugby historian who points out that "a talisman of such reverence and historical value is bound to acquire a few scuffs along the way, only adding to its unique and long-standing value." Some might be left to ponder, "What would the F-Cup be without a few distinctive dings?"
The founders Cup has become something akin to the Lumberjack Axe, exchanged by the Wisconsin and Minnesota football teams for over a hundred years. Sources have learned that some CMHS officials are audaciously planning a permanent display of the Cup, hinting strongly that they never intend to relinquish possession of the vaunted pewter cup.
One daring sports photographer was able to surreptitiously obtain a recent photo of the Founders Cup. Judge for yourself.
If the dispute escalates, it may be necessary for the parties to exercise the arbitration clause contained in the Irishfest Accords, which set forth the terms of competition for the trophy. The Accords call for binding arbitration between the parties to be held on the grounds of Millennium Stadium. Officials from BBRFC have expressed their dissatisfaction with the picture, which they believe was intentionally lit in such a way as to minimize the damage. BBRFC Officials added "We are shocked and appalled that CHHS would consider investing in a permanent addition to its trophy case to house this treasure which will surely only be in their possession for a matter of months."

Founders' Cup News
Rumor has it that the Founders' Cup was seriously damaged while in the possession of the Catholic Memorial RFC. Unnamed sources from inside CMH indicated that the damage may have resulted from the handing out of bricks used in that Club's traditional post-match award ceremonies. Authorities are investigating the nature and extent of the damages and whether the damage done to the trophy may have been intentional.
The Brookfield Bruisers RFC front office issued a statement, noting that "once the investigation is complete, we will pursue all legal and equitable remedies available to have the cup repaired by the perpetrators." BBRFC officials added that "It is clear that -- whether the damage was intentional or not -- CMH RFC cannot be trusted to retain such a valuable object. Therefore, it is a priority for our spring season to recover the cup by winning a decisive on-the-field victory over that club of scalawags and ne'er-do-wells."
Officials from the CMHRFC have declined comment, pending the outcome of a full investigation into the allegations by the appropriate authorities.
