The Fairfax Eagles, Philadelphia Fight, Northern Raiders and Bucks County Sharks 2008 seasons have come to an end. Whilst it was a disappointing year for the Sharks as they rebuild with a lot of young talent, the Eagles and Fight have had great seasons in developing the foundation for future success. The Northern Raiders have met a number of challenges but continue to remain committed to developing Rugby League in the area.
