    Boulder lined up against two sides today, the first was a local
    side, La Vila on a beautiful grass pitch. Boulder overcame warm weather
    and bizarre rules to walk away with a 10 - 5 victory. Some redneck from
    Idaho scored both trys. 

    In the second match boulder overcame even more bizarre rules to
    defeat Poderosa from Bresia Italy 27- 0. Tim Ray lead scorers wit two
    trys, Dunne and Schlesinger each contributed trys while Barky had the
    try of the day on a 45 meter run down the sideline on a feed from Tim
    Ray and Matt Becker.

    At the party. Chris Hagey was awarded ugliest player in the
    tournament. Dan schlesinger was awarded most tour unworthy for missing
    the bus to the match, Cindy Hoban was awarded best dancer and Dave
    Cunningham team mule for carrying home a whole bunch of shit.
