The GGAFL returns from the 2009 Nationals tournament with 3 wins and a draw overall.
While not able to win a title this year the GGAFL performed admirably at the 2009 US Footy Nationals in Mason, Ohio over the weekend. In Division 1 the GGAFL finished third, loosing only the the eventual winners Denver.
In Division 4 the GGAFL had 1 win and 1 draw finishing 5th.
In the post tournament celebrations the MVP for Division 1 was awarded to Chris Weaver and MVP for Division 4 went to GGAFL newcomer Michael Stone.
While the GGAFL cannot claim tournament wins over the last 4 years it is interesting to note the consistency of their efforts in the National Tournament. Over this time period there are only two division one teams that have played for each of the 4 years and have a winning record. That would be Denver (winners in two of these 4 years) and the GGAFL. with a 7 and 5 record.
