GNFA Game Ticker:

- Aug 7th, 2010 MLFN National Championship Glendale Bulldogs (13-0) 47 Portland Monarchs (13-1) 24 ...

First Off-Season Summit Held in August

Portland, OR - Spring boarding off of last October's poorly attended first attempt, Ownership groups from around the Northwest met in Portland Sunday August 1st and this event got off to a great start. Those in attendance have reported that the meeting made great strides towards getting owners on the same pages as far as how to operate quality football teams and work together. One attendee reported; "there will never be a complete unification of the northwest, it's just not possible, but that's not what this meeting was about. So much misinformation has been spread around, that FINALLY some owners got to meet face-to-face and instead of hearing message board rumors about so-and-so, got to see for themselves who the men and women are putting quality teams on the field. A lot of stuff was able to be laughed off after realizing these people aren't the devils they've been made out to be by other people who opted not to attend and prefer to sit on the sidelines stirring up trouble without coming up with reasonable solutions". Topics included team organization, structure, season start and finish dates, regional alignments, officiating, and financial presentations. Another meeting is being planned with ongoing committee meetings via phone and emails.

Monarchs Stumble on Final Hurdle to Perfect Season

Las Vegas, Nevada - August 7, 2010 - In the most anticipated gridiron battle of the 2010 Winter/Spring AAA Season. The MLFCS #1 Ranked Portland Monarchs, winner of the 2010 Oregon Football League Championship faced the MLFCS #2 Ranked Glendale Bulldogs, winner of the 2010 Copper State Football league Championship with the 2010 MLFCS AAA National Championship on the line. The fans of the two teams were treated to an offensive demonstration that saw several lead changes and dramatic swings in momentum.

The first offensive play of the game saw the Portland Monarchs execute a perfectly timed play-action pass for a touchdown. The highlights reel for both teams for this night would fill up a movie script as the aerial display of both teams filled the desert night sky to match the distant lightening strikes of a threatening storm in the area.

At the end of the contest, it was Glendale Bulldogs 47 - Portland Monarchs 24.

The Hermiston Hurricanes of the WFL have forfeited the GNFA Championship to the Portland Monarchs. Unfortunately this means we will not be able to bring you the excitement of a game this weekend and all here at the GNFA are along with the OFL extremely disappointed with the Hurricanes decision to not play the game as scheduled. The Monarchs, winners of 34-straight Northwest games will await word on their next game and we will keep you informed as soon as we confirm an opponent, date and location. The WFL vs OFL All-Star game was also canceled along with all slated activities for Championship Weekend.
