Portland Invitational Tournament

Grizzlies Defeat a Gallant Power Squad

Seattle Grizzlies 19.13-127 DEFEAT Portland Power 5.6-36

In a great game, the visiting Seattle Grizzlies have continued their domination of the Portland Power in 2009 with a 127 to 36 victory. 

The late withdrawal of Vancouver from the tournament due to heavy travel commitments and organizational load with their newly expanded local league was a big loss for everyone.  However, the tournament's format was revised to a single full length 18-a-side game between Portland and Seattle.  It was a great day for the game, with big playing and support squads for both sides.

Portland once again played a lot of local rookies who are gaining valuable experience against a more seasoned opponent.  Portland had a bigger impact on the scoreboard in our big home game than the May 30 game in Chehalis, WA and made an even stronger impression in general play without being able to translate it into points.the Buffalo Gap Saloon & Eatery for after-match bonding with food, drinks and AFL footy on the big screens.  Many thanks to Andrew and his Seattle crew for a big turnout at the game - and the pub afterwards.

We can't wait to do it all again next year (with Vancouver and others in town for the party) but for now ... roll on the rest of 2009 - more matches, practices, and tournaments.

For now though, we bask in the glory of the TV coverage on KGW News Channel 8 in Portland.  Click on the link below to view it.
