The Chicago Hounds will take the field for the first time as a team on Friday, February 10th. Rugby ATL and the American Raptors will take part in a three-team format with each playing two 40-minute games. All matches will take place in at the neutral venue of Frank Brown Park in Panama City Beach, Florida.
Chicago have been busy training indoors but do not yet have their full compliment of players available. It remains to be seen who will take the field next weekend. Midfield signing Billy Meakes is one of those yet to arrive, the former Giltinis star is still training on his own in Los Angeles.
ATL have also confirmed another preseason engagement. They will host the Utah Warriors at Silverbacks Park this coming Saturday, February 4. At this time there are no plans to stream any of the games.
