Our Own Bledisloe Cup....

Well the terms have not been finalized, but the Bruisers have been challenged by Catholic Memorial High School to formalize our rivalry by the exchange of the Founder's Cup -- a rivalry modeled on the Bledisloe Cup, a competition between neighboring rivals New Zealand and Australia -- who exchange a trophy each year based on test matches between the two nations.

While the formal details are still be negotiated, this new competition will result in the exchange of a trophy between our two clubs and formalize a great cross-town rivalry -- even if the games are "non-conference games" or the games are played during the Spring season.

If things work out, our pre-season match up with Catholic Memorial should be the inaugural match of this new competition.
