After a disappointing second place finish last season, the Ramstein Rogues started strong with a first place finish in the Rhineland Pfalz season-opening tournament. The Rogues traveled strong in numbers to Mainz Saturday, including a dedicated core of supporters, for a long hard day of rugby. In the first of three matches, Ramstein came up against K-Town/Speyer, after struggling in a scoreless first half the Rogues opened up the second, winning 15 -0. After a long rest between games the Rogues faced Trier, at halftime Ramstein led 14-0.

The coaching staff of the Kaiserslautern Kingfish swim team held a swim clinic from Aug. 22 to 26 at their home pool in Baumholder, Germany. The clinic provided information to returning and new team members about the latest cutting edge swimming techniques and training methods.
