Saturday May 17 2008 saw the inaugral Liberty Cup Tournament in Philadelpha PA. The tourney brought together two teams from Philadelphia's local competition - the Old City Benjamins and the South Philly Wiz and two teams from the Baltimore Washington Metro League - the Maryland Bogans and the Northern Virginia Hams.

Taking the trip up north, the Eagles' top two squads of Maryland Bogans and Northern Virginia Hams would square off against Philadelphia's own Old City Benjamins and the South Street Whiz. The weekend saw a lot of action and plenty of excitement as rookies combined with veterans in a day-long tournament that eventually saw the Old City Benjamins (1-1) challenge the Northern Virginia Hams (2-0) in a epic grand final. At day's end, the Old City Benjamins tallied one point over the Hams to claim title to the inaugural Liberty Metro Cup.

A great day was had by all and there was something for everyone.
