Video Highlights From Morris Lions in Jersey Cup

Morris Lions win the Jersey Cup

Very proud of our boys! the Morris Lions played 4 tough and close matches against Montclair, Doylestown PA, South Jersey including facing Morris 2 aka Delbarton in the final.

The final was especially hard fought. Delbarton scored first and converted. Morris ten came back with a try by Sebastian and a penalty by Sebastian to be up 8-7 at the half. The second half was even tougher. Garrett then broke through for a well-earned try that Sebastian converted. Final score Morris Lions 15- Delbarton 7.

Memories from last year's Charlotte Tournament

Gents,

To get you in the mood for this weekend's tournament, check out this old post with some of the players' best memories here:

"Hearing the other team moan every time the ref called for a scrum. Go Dozer" - Big Red

I think the best game moment, was either jake feury's dump, or Ludwig's excellent try in the first game. Ludwig hit that hole at full speed, and didn't stop. He is starting to make tuqiri look bad lol." Joe Ross

"Tie between Feury's tackle and Grego's try in that third game. Both were incredible." Matt Turinas

"Listening to the A-side cheering on the B-side on Sunday, then listening to the B-side "trying" to cheer on the A-side!" Coach John

You can see more photos here. And here is a very crappy quality video playlist pf some of the highlists

Charlotte Tour - March 13th-15th 2009

As in past years, we plan on entering into the Charlotte tournament next March, which is expected to be the 13th thru15 th.  Last year we had enough players to enter 2 sides, with 8 adults traveling with the team.  We will accept as many players as are able to go and will enter the appropriate number of teams. Due to the distance, we have to fly.  This year, we will depart Newark Airport in the early afternoon, meaning the players will have to be let out of class early on the Friday, returning late Sunday afternoon/early evening.  We are looking at a mid afternoon departure. If players are unable to leave at the scheduled departure time, you can make arrangements for your sons to leave later, but will be at your cost.  All the players, regardless of when they arrive will stay in the same hotel.  Arrangements can be made for transport from the airport to the hotel for the later arrivals.  To hold your spot in Charlotte, we are asking for a $25 deposit.  You can contact Adam Turinas at his email, adamturinas@gmail.com] to make arrangements for payment.  Parents are also able to attend.  We are estimating that the cost for the Charlotte trip, air, hotel and ground transport, not including meals, will be between $350 and $400 per player.  For any adults traveling, you can have your choice of a single room or doubling up if requested, which will increase the costs a bit more.  More details to follow, including thoughts on fundraising to help defray some of the travel costs.   Here are some links for pictures and articles about the trip last year:
