breaker this weekend against a strong home side in Chicago. The final score: 11.8(72) to 11.13(79).

second win of the year on the road against the Atlanta Kookaburras on Saturday
afternoon in perfect Atlanta May weather. The Magpies making their first travel
game of the year were worried that injuries from key players Benjie Bliss

Jess Wortman (finger) were going to affect the outcome of this game, but
evening things out saw Atlanta put 3 of their key players (2 revolution

Milwaukee ahead by a 2-1 advantage, the Magpies utilized a victory against the
Bombers in round 1 of the MAAFL in 2005 to springboard their undefeated season.
