(PRWEB) June 8, 2004

The Empire Football league, at its pre-season meeting in Oneonta, New York on June 6, made some minor revisions to their 2004 season schedule. The Reading Renegades were replaced by a new franchise from Reading, PA, the Reading Raptors. The Syracuse Vipers of Syracuse, NY were granted a leave of absence for the 2004 season. The Amsterdam Zephyrs were brought in as associate members to accept the Syracuse Vipers' schedule.

These schedule revisions allow the EFL to continue with 12 active member teams for the 2004 season in a two division format:

Northern Division: Ottawa (Canada), Plattsburgh, St Lawrence Valley, Burlington (VT), Glens Falls, Watertown

Southern Division: Orange County, Albany, Binghamton, Scranton, Reading, Amsterdam,

The season starts July 17th and ends September 25th. The EFL Playoffs will take place on October 2nd and October 9th and will conclude with the EFL Championship Game on October 16th.

Orange County's semi-pro football team takes on the 105th Airlift Wing's C-5 flight simulator:

Players and staff from the Orange County Bulldogs, a Hudson Valley semi-pro football team who had an opportunity to tour the 105th Airlift Wing's C-5 flight simulator, quickly learned that using finesse rather than their big biceps and brute force was what it would take to tackle the "Galaxy."
