Lani and I have returned from the NCRFU meeting.
We have moved up to Division II. We were in the top four in Division III. Vacaville and Stanislaus and Vallejo moved to the Second division.
Mission is not part of the Union this year. The Bay Barbarians most of the Fajians of the Mission have joined the Second division.
Division II will be:
Diablo Gaels, Concord
Fresno
Bay Barbarians Campbell
San Jose
Stanislaus
East Palo Alto
Vacaville
Arryo Grande
Burracus
Santa Rosa
Golden Gate
Vallejo
There will be 11 matches. They don’t have a start date. Maybe the second week of January. That would be the twenty third.
Santa Rosa is getting a division III team the feel that some of the boys will go with them. If that is the case those who go have our blessings. It is expensive to travel down twice a week. There is two hours wasted each day. Those who stay with us we welcome with open arms.
There were three additional teams that went into Division III.
Our longest trip would be to Arryo Grande. That is near San Louis Obispo. Just as far as Humboldt. The next is Fresno. Then Stanislaus in Modesto.
We will be looked down on again. We can beat any of these teams. They haven’t had to deal with Vallejo.
I will let you know when the season will start. I will send a letter to the teams and get an earlier start date if possible. Speak to your friends ask you relatives we will need all the help we can get.
Thanks for the blessing to the boys that may want to play with the new D3 team. I wish you the best of luck on your season. You guys will be competative this year against D2.
