The preparation will begin by putting the search on for additional players â so, anyone, 18 years of age and older, looking to experience the vintage game can contact Michael Paes at buldog5151@aol.com or 270-0853.
The new season promises to be an exciting one with games against the Simsbury Taverneers, the Hartford Dark Blues, the Waterbury Connors, the Brooklyn Atlantics and the fledgling Bridgeport Orators. Tournaments in Waterbury, Bethpage (New York), Pittsfield (Massachusetts) and Westfield (Massachusetts) are also planned as is a match at a Civil War Reenactment in Woodbury.
The season â currently with 12 dates on the calendar â is slated to open April 21 and will run through the end of September.
