JUNE 23, 2013
Note of June 2013: My record of the event lists Al Caravelli as
coach and Drew Fautley as manager, which would seem to indicate
I wasn't there. Nevertheless, I'm pretty sure I was.
At any rate, both Atlantis teams made the final,
with Atlantis II defeating Atlantis
I in the final.

The
following write-up is from Rugby
Magazine of November 1997:
"In a tight first half, Rosie Kelly scored
the sole try, giving Atlantis II a five-point lead going into halftime. In
the second half Atlantis II scored
three unanswered tries from Ines Rodriguez (2 T) and Hedwig Aerts (T, C) for a
22-0 lead. A late try from Jen Lucas put
Atlantis I on the scoreboard, 22-5."
