Annual End of Season Party, Presentation Night and Inaugural MOBall Awards Ceremony
Saturday 1 Dec. officially wrapped up the 2007 Chicago Footy season in what many attendees claimed was the greatest party in CAFA history. Extensive pre-party planning efforts by the executive dynamic duo of Drew Ehlers and Al MacGlashan with the assistance of
Craig Miller and Coach Drake combined with the MOBall efforts of Hazie and W. Burgmann brought us an award filled gala of action packed reverly. The nights events were masterfully emcee'd by special guests Drew Burgundy and Al Ledger from Brokeback Mountain.
The nights awards and recognitions included..
- 2007 MAAFL Championship Medal Presentation. The United went 4-0 in MAAFL competition this year to walk away with the crown for the first time in 6 years. → scores | stats | match reports

Scandal befalls the Inaugural CAFA MO Competition
WARRICK G. BURGMANN has been formally charged with not shaving below the bottom lip during the month of Movember.
Numerous witnesses attest to have personally seen Warrick G. Burgmann sporting what was described as "more than cheap wine and 3 day growth" and" a poor attempt at impersonating George Michael".
This was witnessed in the 2nd week of MOvember, not even the first couple of days.
It is an outrage that one of the chief organisers could bring such an honourable competition into the depths of disgrace.
He is in clear breach of the rules that he tried to keep us to!!!

FROM CHICAGO TO 100 GAMES
Luke Jenkins returned home from the United States and a stint with the Chicago Sharks in the USAFL to register his 100th AFLQ State League game last weekend.
Jenkins took a year’s sabbatical from the game in Australia last year to travel to the US for work reasons, and ironically had a kick with the Sharks’ American sister club.
