Looking to build upon the budding friendly rivalry with the Bombers, the Flying Aces have stepped up their game and will bring with them to Thursday's game something they are calling the Air Supremacy Cup. The concept says Flying Aces captain Darren Jones is "to have the AS Cup up for grabs any time the Bombers and Flying Aces play each other." The name is derived by the two clubs aviation inspired nicknames and is awesome in its beauty and grandeur. "It has a real retro 1979 grade school soccer trophy feel to it" noted Bomber captain Bill Auld. Ryan Bleck of the Aces joked "I hope we didn't just buy the Bombers a trophy!" The two squads split their games in Federal League play last season so its safe to say the AS Cup will be changing hands more often than not.
The first game in which the cup will be up for grabs will be Thursday 1/23 @8:45 in the friendly confines of Aspen Ice Flemington. Plenty of good seats still available.
