IGRAB World Cup Champions 2010

On Sunday June 20th the Gotham Knights beat two-time defending champion Sydney Convicts, 18-15, to win the fifth Bingham Cup, held in Minneapolis. The Convicts had won the event in 2006 and 2008, after San Francisco Fog won the first two cups.

Sydney entered the title match the prohibitive favorite, having won the previous two Bingham Cups and knocked out the San Francisco Fog, winners of the first two titles, in the semifinal. Gotham proved to be a worthy opponent, and the two contenders put on a thrilling hard-fought show from start to finish.

Gotham's upcoming challenge is to maximize success in the 2010 Union season in the fall. For information on joining Gotham email recruitingatgothamrfc [dot] org (Recruiting), or come to Gotham's Fall Boot Camp.
