Despite kicking 0-2 this weekend during Cedar Rapids defeat of the Rockford Ravens, fullback Mike Yager, the self-proclaimed 'King of Drop Goals', fulfilled his promise to make himself a trophy. Yagers fame began when he added 3 in a 47 meter attempt in the Headhunters victory over Wayne State in the championship game of their tournament... and he's never looked back. When asked for comment Yager mused "Ladies love me, I think I'm gonna punch that kid."

Drop goals aside, the Cedar Rapids Headhunters handed a solid defeat to the Rockford Ravens in their final home match of the season. Three cheers for the Men of the Match Jason 'Red' Nosek and Tim 'erehere’ Rose.
This match also marks the final test for the Headhunters before heading to Iowa Falls for the 2009 All Iowa tournament. Success in this tournament has been the goal of the club for the entire spring season, focused on redemption after last years poor performance the weekend after the Midwest region playoffs.
A lot has been learned this season, with new players stepping up and old boys staying committed and showing everyone how it's done, the Headhunters are driven and ready to close this season out with a bang both at the All Iowa and the final match of the season in Des Moines.

Cedar Rapids routed the Quad City Irish this past Saturday, defending their perfect record at home and improving their spring record to 2-1. Clearly motivated by the previous weekends lost against a tough Bremer County, the Headhunters came out hard from the start and played headstrong and focused until the final whistle. Congrats to the Men of the match for this test; pack player Jeremy Daughetee, and backs Ricky "Bobby" Legree and Mike Coulter. The match was followed by a trip to our social home Paddy O'Rourkes for a night of food, song, and spirits. Thanks to the Irish for making the trip and all of our fans who joined us at the pitch and afterwards at the social.

This next weekend the Cedar Rapids Headhunters will be headed to Dubuque to participate in the 2009 Spring Rugby Challenge. With the bracket set the Headhunters have been intensely focused on the task at hand, opening against the host Dubuque team at 9am followed by a much anticipated rematch against Bremer County at 11.
