CFL honchos to meet again

Posted on Aug 22 2005
The sounds of crashing face masks and bone-jarring tackles are in the air as the monsters of the Marianas are busy practicing for the upcoming season, but the same intensity is filling local meeting rooms as team representatives and the Commonwealth Football League’s board of directors are working behind the scenes to ensure that the gridiron gladiators will have everything ready once they step onto the field of play next month.
Schedule makers are currently mapping out this year’s match-ups on a drawing board, and the start of the season has already been inked for Saturday, Sept. 24, at 10am. With two games being played across the channel in Tinian, the 2005-06 season is looking to be one of the most exciting on record.
Procrastinators need to get off the bench right away as there are only about five weeks remaining until the opening day, and while the race for sponsors continues, there is an equally heated scramble for the island’s best arms for a number of vacant starting quarterback slots.
Team representatives, league officials, and interested sponsors are invited to join the CFL’s next board meeting next week Tuesday, Aug. 30 at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post on Beach Road at 6pm.
As a reminder CFL is still looking for people interested in becoming officials and referees for the upcoming gridiron season. For more information on becoming a referee or official and the upcoming board meeting, contact newly elected CFL public information officer Chris Belanger at 483-0611.
