The Atlanta Australian Rules Football League kicks off this weekend with Roswell Rebels taking on the Midtown Bombers. The match will take place from 10.30am at Dekalb Memorial Park opening the Spring season. The league was founded in 2003, and is entering into it's sixth year of action. The Midtown Bombers have won the last two titles and will once again be hard to beat. For many of the teams this will be their second match for the year after the Kookaburras played the US Revolution team last weekend.

The AARFL is comprised of four men's teams and two women's teams, however Decatur and Druid Hills teams have combined for this season due to lack of numbers. The league plays two seasons per year one in Spring and one in the Fall. The league is always looking for more players and contact details can be found at their website www.aarfl.com. The Atlanta Kookaburras and Lady Kookaburras have also recently released their 2008 season schedule (Lady Kookaburra games are in bold).
