Glendale Raptors Home Rugby Matches to be Broadcast on Media Zone and Fox
Sports Network Rocky Mountain (FSN) for the 2008 Spring Season

GLENDALE, Colo., April 10 /PRNewswire/ -- The Glendale Raptors Rugby
Football Club announced that their men's home matches are being broadcast
nationally and internationally through two prominent media outlets.
    The live rugby matches are being broadcast through MediaZone.com, a
leading global online broadcaster specializing in sports, entertainment, and
international programming. MediaZone.com offers subscription and pay-per-view
access to live and On Demand programs to a substantial and fast-growing paid
international customer base. The Glendale Raptors 2007 fall matches were
available through MediaZone.com and the 2008 spring season is now being
carried both nationally and internationally by the online broadcaster. A link
to the live broadcast is posted on the Raptors' website on game day at
http://www.glendalerugby.com.
    FSN Rocky Mountain is covering the Glendale Raptors on a delayed basis. A
replay of the Raptors home matches can be viewed Sunday mornings from 7am to
9am on FSN.  The 2008 Spring Season launched on March 1st with the Glendale
Raptors against the Seattle Rugby Club. FSN also made the local broadcast
replay available to the Seattle, Washington area the next day based on
requests from the region.
    "We are very excited and pleased to have the media exposure these two fine
broadcasting outlets bring to our rugby football club," stated Mike Dunafon,
Mayor Pro-tem of Glendale, Colorado. "It is not only our goal to gain
recognition for our fine city and our rugby program (Glendale has built the
country's first municipal owned and operated rugby-specific stadium in the
United States) but, to also bring about an educational process and
appreciation to Colorado and the United States about one of the world's most
popular sports. Often called 'a game for ruffians played by gentlemen,' rugby
offers something to individuals of all ages from full contact to the
ever-growing popularity of "touch rugby." As we like to say, "Rugby is the
game for life," continued Mr. Dunafon.
    The remaining games for the Raptors' 2008 Spring schedule to be broadcast
are:
April 13, 2008: Glendale Raptors v. Pearl City RFC
May 11, 2008: Glendale Raptors v. Grand Junction
