- Gamblers fall short in Div III Finals
Las Vegas returns home after competing in the 2007 USAFL national
championship in Louisville, KY where they just fell short of winning their
second consecutive Div III national championship. Overall, the squad won
three games and lost in the final to a quality St. Louis squad. It was a great
effort by the boys and they exhibited the heart this team is known for.
Thanks to NY for giving us their support and a few players. Thanks also to
all the team supporters who coached, ran water, and served the team over
the weekend. Click here for the detailed match report.
- Gamblers head to Nationals
The Las Vegas Gamblers will be heading to Louisville, KY on Oct 13-14th to
attempt to win a consecutive Div III Flag. The Gamblers are coming off a
loss to the San Diego Lions and look to rebound at Nationals. Las Vegas will
be combining with New York's extras to round out a full squad. Wish us luck!

Ave, next to the New Orleans. We have a room reserved just for the
game. Look for our "Aces" jumpers.
- Lions prove too much for Gamblers
The Las Vegas Gamblers put up a good fight against the San Diego Lions
this past Saturday but could not hang the reigning Div I champs. The first
half our boys put some concern into the mighty lions pulling into halftime
down only 22 points. The Gamblers were right in the middle of almost all
of the contests but the team's in experience proved to be its demise. With
several first timers and a team that only boasts six players from last years
Div III championship, the Gamblers are not quite ready to hit the big stage.
Still, there was much to be happy about out of this game and playing
quality sides will quickly propel the Gamblers to the big stage. Thanks to
all the people who help put the game on.
- Gamblers ready to tame the Lions

championship and are looking to step up and play the best. Come out and
watch the game. Admission is free!

Four of the Las Vegas Gamblers traveled to Denver this past weekend to
take on the Denver Bulldogs and Kansas City Power. Having only small
numbers traveling, the Gamblers hooked up with Denver’s “B” team to take
Denver “A” and KC. The weather was warm, the fields where nice, and our
guys were ready to have a kick. Read more...

them luck!
- Gamblers Defeat Arizona Hawks
The Las Vegas Gamblers defeated the Arizona Hawks 13.8.86 to
8.11.59 Saturday night at Aviary park. It was a hard fought game and a
milestone for the Gamblers as it was the first full home game played by
the team. Las Vegas looks to carry the momentum into its games against
Denver and Kansas City on August 11th. Thanks to the Hawks for
making the trip out!

- Gamblers first home game, July 28th
Come support the Gamblers in their first home game of the season on
July 28th at 7:30pm at Aviary park off of Aviary and I215. Las Vegas will
be taking on Arizona Hawks.
The Gamblers suffered a big loss in July after the team MVP, Michael
Ablett, went back to Australia to pursue an opportunity there. Mic led the
team to its first national title in as many tries. Best wishes to a great
player on the field and a stand up guy off the field.
The Gamblers combined with the Arizona Hawks and took on the San
Diego Lions. It was a hard fought match but the Lions proved they are
still the best in the country with an easy victory. Thanks to all who made
the trip out to San Diego.
Last Saturday the team got together to play its second metro game of
the early season. This time around the Mojave Greens handily beat the
Aces. Skill levels are steadily improving though the squad has a long
ways to go. Overall, the use of the footy was really good especially
considering how many new players are on the team but crisp execution
needs to be worked on.
The day was beautiful for footy minus the stout wind blowing across the
ground. The Greens came out firing putting up a 3 goal lead at the half.
The Aces had a tough time containing Tim Orr whose athleticism in the
ruck always created numbers for the Greens. The Aces rallied in the
second half but fell short of their comeback bid with a handful of kicks
falling short of the goal and into Marty’s hands.
The Gamblers are looking for new players to join this year’s team. If you
are interested, please email info@vegasfooty.com.
