Week 11

The Florida State Finals

As that highly-acclaimed legendary rock band Staind once sang, “it’s been a while”.  But, absence makes the heart grow fonder, so you should all be HYPED for this Sunday’s return of TFRO after a couple of weeks off. We’ll have full playoff previews, as well as chats with the folks from all 3 Tampa Krewe teams and the Boca U19s, coming off their big win over Gibbons. And perhaps we'll even have a chat with referee Tom Ciampa, directly from Ireland! Ladies, please try to contain yourselves. Guests: Tom Ciampa - FRRA Referee Shelby Coleman - Tampa Women Pascal Felix  - Tampa Youth  Matt Guest  - Boca Raton U19 Coach Vicente Allue-Lavin  - Boca Raton U19 Player

After a week off - the O in TFRO does mean occasionally - we make our triumphant return for Week 6, which is really the last crazy-busy week of the season. We’ll review Ruggerfest as well as one of the biggest college men’s games of the season, despite what the standings might say. Guests: Mike Gomez (FSU, Tallahassee) Mark Diaz  (Hartford Harpooners)

Week 3 is upon us, and it brings us a monster men’s matchup between Boca and the Tridents. We’ll also talk to the guy behind a new club in Orlando, as well as wrapping up all the rest of the action around the state. Guests: Cory FIsher - Orlando Otters Gonzalo Torres-García - Miami Tridents RFC Emo Sergile - Boca Raton RFC Rocky Miyares  - Cardinal Gibbons  Nick Vickers - Fort Lauderdale Ruggerfest

Temperatures will plummet into the 20s in some places in Florida this weekend, but TFRO will fight through the frost as we bring you a recap of all the Week 2 action and talk to folks thawing out in all corners of the Sunshine (?) State. And perhaps we’ll have some special guests from Spain. Sponsored by the the Miami Trident RFC Guests Melissa Butler - Jacksonville Women Gavin McLeavy - Jaguares
