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.

Portland Invitational Tournament

Saturday June 20, 2009

Mt. Hood Community College - 26000 SE Stark St, Gresham, OR

For a map click here.  

Time: 12:30pm - 4pm

Teams: Portland Power, Seattle Grizzlies

Due to the late withdrawal of the Vancouver Cougars (apparently something about lack of sufficient character references to be allowed across the border) the Portland Invitational Tournament's round robin format has been converted to a single, full length, full squad game between Portland Power and Seattle Grizzlies.  Jokes aside, Vancouver is suffering from a recent heavy travel load as Division I US National Champs and from the huge effort associated with their local league expansion to 5 clubs this year. Everyone is eagerly looking forward to Vancouver making it down next season. 

There will be a post-match gathering at the Buffalo Gap Saloon & Eatery on Saturday night where footy will be on the big screen and where a raffle will be held.

The Portland Power is very pleased to welcome two new sponsors to the club.  We look forward to a long and fruitful partnership with them both:

****Bill Rodgers and Dale Lunde from Rodgers Paint Company

****RC Hernandez - Realtor  

Please check out the new sponsor pages on this website for more details (click on the right-hand menu).

Revenue to the club is generated from the word of mouth business we can generate for these sponsors - so don't forget to mention the Portland Power when you give them a call!

Our initial contact with these sponsors came after club members used their services on recommendations from friends and work colleagues and highlighted the high quality of service they provide at extremely competitive prices.

Rodgers painting company has painted Andrew's house as well as houses of his friends in addition to a number of odd jobs that have really helped him out. His comment was "Whatever they touch turns out amazing".

Andrew D. from PAFC and three of his workmates have used RC as his Realtor on a number of occasions and says that "No realtor is more professional, hard working and knowledgeable".
