On July 26, 2008 members of Local 724 participated in the 2nd Annual Officer Raheem Carter Memorial Flag Football tournament. The $300.00 entry fee for the team was paid for by NLPD PBA Post 1 and Local 724. Proceeds from the tournament went to the Officer Raheem Carter Scholarship fund. NLPD had a first round bye in the tournament, but lost consecutive games thereafter. In the losing effort however, in addition to former D-1 College football player Razul Wallace, Kyle Gorra and Justin Clachrie emerged as rising stars for Team New London. Team MVP Gorra led the team in receptions while Velcro hands Clachrie also showed he can hold onto the rock. Chris Bunkley aka "Bunk" showed that he has an arm and will compete in the future for the starting Quarterback position against veteran Brian Laurie. Veteran Joe Olivero, Matt Galante, Joe Buzzelli, Tony Washington, and Chris White rounded out the NLPD Team. A good time was had by all and the team wants to thank those that came out in support of the good cause. NLPD plans on participating in next years tourney. Thank you to all that participated and photos by Marie Friess-McSparran. Next up for the NLPD Team is our annual game against Norwich PD. Time/Date in the fall TBA. ...
