| Despite the slander and baiting coming from some, I will not get into a message board war with anyone. I am not gonna joust back and forth over he said she saids, lies, exaggerations and manipulating of the truths. Its not my style and not my priority.......IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE QUALITY OF THE GAME AND GREAT COMPETITION!
I will however recall the success's we have had together as participants of the GCFFA over our now 4th year of existence.
We have grown in numbers, talent and level of competition. We have played vs premier competition for unprecedented prizes on good to great facilities. We have become a force in the 9-man game locally, regionally and nationally. This growth has led to our partnership with the MCFFU and there promotion of myself to National Tornament Director. Like someone else has said lets not be confused.......read between the lines and look at the facts.
February 2007...."Spring Kickoff Classic I"
The first ever CT tournament to offer a CASH Prize, also gave away free bid, t-shirts and huge trophy/award package
Spring 2007....GCFFA's 1st Hartford Spring League
All goes without a hitch, main fields used and again the competition was excellent
Summer 2007....."Summer Cash Showdown"
As word spreads the event gets bigger and we proudly hand out $1000 plus and welcome in out of state competition (Silverbacks)
Fall 2008.....1st Hartford Fall League
Again a successful season that sees the Steelers claim the chip and a free entry into the upcoming Spring league
Spring 2008....."Spring Kickoff Classic II"
This is where the hard work begins to pay off as 14 teams visit a ready to play Colt Park. For the first time ever 6 out of state teams battle in CT for $1500 and all the extras. GREAT COMPETITION, OFFICIATING and CONCESSIONS.
SPRING 2008.....GCFFA's 2nd Spring League
Moved by the City to Keeny Park, the league, now with NORTH and SOUTH divisions features 16 teams and phenomanal competition. Professional photos were taken throughout the year and we see teams following the uniform code. Steelers capture yet another free bid!
Summer 2008.....The first ever TRUE CT state championships are held at Colt. A beautiful weekend and great football so the rise of the Young Gunz in an event when every team was loaded. $1000 in CAsh and more handed over to the State Champs. Again no field issues
Fall 2008.....Hartford Fall League again features 2 divisions with the introduction to cross over games which fuel a heated rivalry between North and South. Each Division champion meets to battle over $500 CAsh and free bid!
Winter 2008......The Christmas Classic is unveiled and despite terrible weather and last minute cancelations the GCFFA hands OUTKAST from Mass $750 CASH, PAID BID TO ORLANDO, T-shirys, Trophies and Individual awards. Again no field issues....
Spring 2009......"Spring Kickoff Classic III"
WOW!!! The greatest fields ever used for CT 9-man and 7 of the top 25 teams in the country compete in still our greatest event to date! The very best competition and over $3500 given away between CASH, BIDS and EXTRAs for 2 divisions. Professional photography discs given to all participants!
Spring 2009......Hartford Spring League again features 23 teams between 2 divisions and Colt park is alive with football. The excitement is building
Summer 2009....Summer Cash Throwdown II
Again top competition and HUGE prizes are awarded (over $2500 CASH and 2 Nationals Bids) as we overcome field issues. Although I was not responsible for securing the fields that weekend I will take responsibility for the conditions. so far we are 11-12 (not to bad)
Winter 2009......New Englands Flag Bowl
Despite working out of state, we organize an event feature 19 teams between 2 divisions including 10 teams from the National top 25. We battled through terrible conditions and again gave away nearly $4000 in CASH, BIDS and Prizes
Mother nature contributes to abused fields...
