The USFooty Revolution were in Florida for the third of their three planned training/practice games before heading to the International Cup in Melbourne, Australia. In the first, the Revs took on the Californian All-Stars in LA. The second saw the Revs dismantle the Atlanta Kookaburras in Atlanta GA. On the final weekend, the Revs took on the USFooty All-Stars and the Florida Redbacks as part of the Faststream Florida Invitational at the new Broward County cricket complex.

The Revs had been hoping to go up against the best teams in USFooty but they ended up taking on the USFooty All-Stars with some of the best players in USFooty competing against the Revs. Still, with little experience playing as a team, the All-Stars were little match for the Revs. The USfooty Revolution finished 11.14 (80) to the USFooty All-Stars 2.2 (14). On the Sunday the Revolution faced in the young Florida team. Despite the inexperience, the Florida team was able to match it with the Revs although the Revs ran out winners in hot and humid conditions.

After the tournament, the coaching staff named the Revolution squad that will head to Australia. According to Head Coach Robert Oliver, “The next steps are the players will return to their domestic season. They will be monitored across regions by Coaching staff and match committee members. Communication will be the name of the game from this point onwards and we have various methods planned to keep that at a peak level.”
