Well, nobody seems to be rushing forward with a report from last weekend, but journalistic integrity prevents me from leaving the whole weekend unreported.
Since I wasn't there I have little more to offer than the bare facts below, but perhaps in an outpouring of free speech, those of you who were there could comment-in all the subtle nuances that I've left out.
What I know is that on Saturday Portland was able to dispatch an under-strength Charles River side and a Seacoast team still suffering from some post-menstrual symptoms.
On Sunday, instead of the usual date with Mystic River, some "hired guns" from Springfield had crashed the party and unceremoniously dumped them out of the tournament to pinch their place in the final. Clearly, that proved to be no mere flash in the pan as Springfield's "foreign legion" came out blazing and racked up a comfortable half-time lead. Despite shoring things up for the second half, Portland couldn't mount much of a fight-back, and it all ended 22-5 in their favor.
That's what I know. Thanks to all those who made the trip on Saturday and/or Sunday. Not so much to all those who said they were but never showed.
Comment it up.

We'll get those guys back in the fall. Oh wait, they don't play in our division anymore and they won't have the ringers anyways! Also, you know a city is bad when the only redeeming quality it displays is a Hooters restaraunt.
How about Dom's highlight of catching the over time kickoff to set Derick up with the Stripers OT try to beat Saranac! speaking of hired guns... Thanks for the help!
Stripers in Canada this weekend for a 5 team canadian tournament, let us know if you want to play!
