Boston/NYC takes third at Rochester Flour City Invitational

The Boston team of Jarrett, Bri and Nate took 3rd place at the Flour City Invite last weekend.  They managed to overcome a bunch of tough teams, one of which got a bit surly with Jarrett over an alleged t-bone.  Bri got the much deserved female MVP award, winning a lovely top tube cover.  The Laurel, Howl and Jon team got knocked out by a bunch of drunk Canadians who fancied the wrist shot.  Overall a fun experience.  Stay tuned for info on our upcoming 2 on 2 tournament!

UPCOMING ROCHESTER TOURNAMENT

We have two teams representing Boston at the Flour City Invitational in Rochester, New York.  One team is all brains, the other, all brawn.  I predict double first place if the contest is to determine whose city’s players are the most awe inspiring.  Photos will be posted upon our victorious return to the city.
