CT Dukes at ASA National
July 30, 2012
Ashland, OH
July 26-29
Ashland, OH
The Circle Tap Dukes went an extremely disappointing 2-2 (28-6 overall) at
the ASA "National" Championships in Ashland, OH over the weekend. Not
much went the Dukes way over the weekend as we did not play up to the
teams potential in every aspect of the game. We will take a week off and
prepare for the ISC World Tournament in Midland, MI August 11-18. First
game will be Sunday August 12th at 2PM vs the winner of Rocky Mountain
Rebels and Toronto Gators
