Playing football in the Snow, brought a whole new meaning this past weekend as 40 teams from all over the Northeast including Canada and England played through Blizzard conditions on both days. The Snow started to fall Friday evening, then turned to Sleet and Rain Saturday afternoon, then back to snow on Sunday with Wind gusts up to 30 miles an hour. The Amazing part was all but two registered teams made it to Plymouth as the entire east coast was hit by the storm. The longest trip for the USA teams was a tie between the PA and MD teams, from Canada it was  Team From Toronto that made the trek but they were out down in mileage  by the English who flew in just before the storm hit.
       The Friday night captains meeting was packed with over 100 players and 20 beautiful FlagMag Girls as teams picked there place on the bracket. On Saturday morning the games began, and several teams were late as the driving conditions were treacherous. Around noon time the snow turned to sleet and rain making the conditions absolutely horrible. Saturday night FlagMag held its Christmas Party at Rip Tide were all 20 FlagMag girls competed for  Miss FlagMag Boston,MA-2003.
 The party was rocking as 200 players made it to the event. FlagMag girls mixed and mingled then paraded  in three different sets of clothing- Causal, Bikini, and club wear in front of excited flag football players . The evening ended when the girls were auctioned off on dates.
    On Sunday conditions got worse as the snow started to pile up, and the wind klicked in. The games became interesting in the end as in the 8Man Gold Division, it was the USA vs Canada in a grudge match as the Outkast of New Bedford,MA outlasted the Xmen of Toronto,Canada 6-0 in the 3rd overtime. Impressive for the Canadiens who only play 7man touch .

Historical Plymouth, MA will host the 4th annual World Cup qualifying Flag Football Tournament, where the top four teams from each division will advance to the World Cup Invitational tournament slated for Feb 26-29th, in Puerto Plata Dominican Republic.
Plymouth just 33 miles south of Boston. It was the site of the first permanent European settlement in New England; it is now a fishing and tourist center with ship-related industries and cranberry-packing houses. Plymouth Rock, a tourist attraction, is on the shore under a granite canopy; recreations of Plymouth Plantation and the Mayflower are also there. The pilgrims founded Plymouth on Dec. 21, 1620, establishing a settlement that became the seat of Plymouth Colony in 1633 and a part of Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1691.
The Pilgrims were English Separatists who founded (1620) Plymouth Colony in New England. In the first years of the 17th century, small numbers of English Puritans broke away from the Church of England because they felt that it had not completed the work of the Reformation. They committed themselves to a life based on the Bible. Most of these Separatists were farmers, poorly educated and without social or political standing. One of the Separatist congregations was led by William Brewster and the Rev. Richard Clifton in the village of Scrooby in Nottinghamshire. The Scrooby group emigrated to Amsterdam in 1608 to escape harassment and religious persecution. The next year they moved to Leiden, where, enjoying full religious freedom, they remained for almost 12 years. In 1617, discouraged by economic difficulties, the pervasive Dutch influence on their children, and their inability to secure civil autonomy, the congregation voted to emigrate to America. Through the Brewster family's friendship with Sir Edwin Sandys, treasurer of the London Company, the congregation secured two patents authorizing them to settle in the northern part of the company's jurisdiction. Unable to finance the costs of the emigration with their own meager resources, they negotiated a financial agreement with Thomas Weston, a prominent London iron merchant. Fewer than half of the group's members elected to leave Leiden. A small ship, the Speedwell, carried them to Southampton, England, where they were to join another group of Separatists and pick up a second ship. After some delays and disputes, the voyagers regrouped at Plymouth aboard the 180-ton Mayflower. It began its historic voyage on Sept. 16, 1620, with about 102 passengers--fewer than half of them from Leiden. After a 65-day journey, the Pilgrims sighted Cape Cod on November 19. Unable to reach the land they had contracted for, they anchored (November 21) at the site of Provincetown. Because they had no legal right to settle in the region, they drew up the Mayflower Compact, creating their own government. The settlers soon discovered Plymouth Harbor, on the western side of Cape Cod Bay and made their historic landing on December 21; the main body of settlers followed on December 26. The term Pilgrim was first used by William Bradford to describe the Leiden Separatists who were leaving Holland. The Mayflower's passengers were first described as the Pilgrim Fathers in 1799.
