After quarter final action that saw the Aston Bulls defeat the Philadelphia Fight in a very exciting game that had to go into overtime to determine the outcome, the semi final match ups are set for August 21.

The Bulls and Fight were all tied up at the end of regulation and it needed the extra 20 minutes that swayed the Bulls way as fatigue set in and allowed a final 46 - 30 score.

The other close game saw the New York Knights score a game-winning try inside the final minute of play to beat the DC Slayers 28-22 to earn themselves a trip to New Haven CT to face the Warriors who handed the Fairfax Eagles an 80-26 scoreline to keep their unbeaten season alive.

The Axemen now prepare for their third match-up against the Bulls this season and although the Axemen got the better of them on both occasions the statistic of beating the same team three time in a year is an ominous one for coaching staff. The Axemen have also had three weekends without a game due to their bye falling in the last round of the regular season and the first round playoff bye, and this has also raised the concern of the team. Extra attention will be given to fitness and details this week during practice to counter the break from contact, however the Axemen do take solace that the Bulls also managed to beat the Philly Fight three times this season to prove the statistic wrong and squash any superstitious thoughts.

Season ticket holders receive FREE entry to the playoff game and walk-up price will remain at $5 with kids 12 and under FREE. $1 beers will of course be on hand.
