The 25th Annual Danny Noonan Invitational will be contested in Mesquite, NV on October 8th-11th, 2025.
Because last year's Noonan Cup was settled by less than 1/2 a point (14-13.5) when it was all said and done, we've decided to "run it back" with the same teams! However, we've appointed new Captains to lead their respective squads into battle.
Each Noonan Cup Team will have one "Experienced" Captain and one "High Energy" Captain to help guide their respective teams. Longtime Noonan veteran Cal Reese brings his 21 years of Noonan experience to team up with five-time attendee and hype man Scott Armock to form a formidable Captaincy, while the defending Noonan Cup Champions will be led by none other than the Barefoot Houdini and eight time Noonan attendee Dave Rueter and young Joe "Nacho" Fricke. Dave & Nacho are excited about the opportunity of the "Repeat in Mesquite"!
However, in an early press conference, Scotty vowed, "We will get our revenge in 2025, or at least have better Captain gifts!". Should be a heckuva battle, especially with four Noonan veterans returning from a few year hiatus in Hall of Famers Tim Botkin & Scott Luinstra along with Mike Quam and Art Collias.
The pairings for the Noonan Cup matches are listed below and many photos will be added after the event!
