After the 7^th Annual Holy City Cup, there was a short respite to prepare for 6^th Annual Scruffy City Invitational in Knoxville. As you may be aware, the Knoxville Hurling Club walked away from Charleston with our cup in hand. The bitter taste of defeat left several Charleston players determined to make the trip north to challenge Knoxville for their own trophy, the Clancy Cup.

Despite some lingering soreness from the 7th Annual Holy City Cup, we had a great turnout this week and we were able to play 10 v 10 with subs. The game turned into a high scoring affair. Wilson&Johnson were relentless with their scoring as they were able to point at will and from almost anywhere on the field. The halftime score was 28-9.

This was the 7^th Holy City Cup in the club’s history and turned out to be the biggest tournament to date. With two fields to play on, eight teams were present including Greenville, Knoxville, two teams from Augusta, two teams from Charleston, a college team in UNC-Chapel Hill, and the newly reformed Charlotte club. There were also some players from Orlando, Tampa, Columbus and Raleigh to help some teams out with numbers. The tournament also had two USGAA registered referees, Scott Cooper from Tampa and Keith Knot from Akron.

The 2019 Fall Pub League started in September.  This year's sponsors are Daps Imbibe, captained by Chris Stratton, and Johnson & Wilson Real Estate, captained by Tiff Nichols.  First two games went to Johnson & Wilson in hard fought battles.  But Daps picked up points by having more players show up (1 point for every game to the team that has the most) and having a new recruit (1point for every new recruit that a member of that team gets).  We welcomed Alison MacLeod as our club's female participation continues to grow exponentially.  She did a great job for her first week holding a hurl!
