Portland Brings shield home for a second year in a row!

Portland finished strong at nationals this year bringing the shield home once more. The club had a rough first day with a loss to Indianapolis. After a day off to rest we took the pitch and defeated Red Branch. We thought we were in the finals at that point but much to our surprise D.C. Gaels were waiting for us with a un-scheduled match. we pulled ourselves togeather to defeat them with a punishing win. Finally, we were in the finals and Denver was waiting for us. With a quick pep talk we took to the pitch, and gave Denver our best performance of the tournament and proved that we deserved to win the shield. Well done lads!
