On the www.canadarugbyleague.com site today:
The Team Canada Wolverines will be taking on the Team USA Tomahawks in a 2 game aggregate point championship to determine the winner of the 2011 Colonial Cup. Last year's contest saw Canada narrowly losing to the USA on their debut 22-16 at Richardson Stadium in Kingston Ontario. This year's battle will take place at Fletcher's Fields in Markham Ontario. "This will be our second match at Fletcher's and we'll be going for 2 wins in a row." Exclaimed Cory Tukeli President of CRL. "First however, we must comeback from Philadelphia with a victory. If we can do that we'll be in the drivers seat for the title." The Wolverines will be counting on players like Tony Felix, Matt Wyles, Chris Diamond, and Jamie Lester to subdue the Tomahawks in the US before they enter the cauldron that is Fletcher's Fields in September. "We're under no illusions," said CRL Chairman Eric Perez, "The Tomahawks are an elite squad and will have an advantage at home in the first leg. However when they come back to Canada, we will show no mercy."
Jamie Lester had this to say. "We need all of our fans out there, supporting us as we take the field against the Tomahawks." Explained Coach Jamie Lester. "If they back us like they did against Jamaica, we'll have more than what it takes to win." will be riding high after a convincing 40-10 victory over Jamaica and will be looking to add the Colonial Cup to their accolades this season. Only time will tell if they can make it happen.

| I can see the Wolverines beating the AMNRL X111 at least once.

| I am not going to tempt fate but....
I think with the announcement of the televised second leg it will be important to make sure the first match remains competetive. Final training session before the 17 is announced is tomorrow..

| It's being played at the Charles Martin Stadium which is a high school stadium. It was planned for somewhere else but they moved it.
I'll be there so hopefully I'll be a good luck charm for the Wolverines.
