Report

Round 1 – 12 June 2021 – Tramore Valley Park – Leeside Lions 5 Goals (30) Kerry Suns 3 Goals (18)

Kerry Suns made their debut with a match-up versus the previous years’ winners Leeside Lions on Wednesday 12th June in Tramotre Valley Park, Cathal Curran getting their first ever goal in two minutes as they flew out of the traps. Leeside Lions replied quickly with goals by Darren O’Dwyer and Dapper O’Donnell to take a 12-6 lead. There was very little between the teams with defence strong. A lull followed in the second half with little or no exciting action until Cian O’Mahony putting the Lions further in front with a well-worked goal and Conor Nyhan moving up from the backs on his debut to extend the lead to 24-6. The game ended with much excitement as what must have seemed an insurmountable Leeside Lions lead was cut back to one goal with goals by Ian Sull and Steve McCarron before Darren O’Dwyer got his second of the day to finish off the scoring. Final Score 30-18 to Leeside Lions.

Round 1 – 12 June 2021 – Tramore Valley Park – Bombers 5 Goals (30) Saints 6 Goals (36)

A fiercely-contested, evenly-balanced match between Bombers and Saints greeted onlookers in Tramore Valley Park as Steve McCarron scored two goals for the Bombers and Alan Daly’s sizzler on the run which was the Saints first goal. Despite the early pressure Bombers were unable to convert their opportunities into goals and then Brian O’Shea netted twice to put the Saints 18-12 up at half-time. Cian O’Mahony and Cathal Curran swapped goals in the second half before Steve McCarron got his third goal of the match to square the score at 24-24. Harry Hynes put the Bombers in front but just as it looked like they were on top of things Andrew O’Neill scored a monster from way out on the wing against the run of play and then with less than a minute to play Paul Murphy had a set shot to the right of the posts which he made no mistake with, kicking the winning goal. Score at the Final Whistle: Bombers 30 Saints 36.

Report

Muenchen Rangers take part in the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Munich. With their team wearing orange and making a reference to Rangers, they may be making a nod to the Irish Protestant side of Ireland. The Muenchen Rangers finished sixth with a 2-6-2 record in the 1995 Bayernliga (an Oberliga or State League for Bavaria), and qualified for the Endrunde Playoffs in 1996 with a 6-2 record. In 1997 they were relegated to the Landesliga Bayern after finishing with a 2-7 record.

Report

The American Football Verband Deutschland (German American Football Federation) was founded in 1979 and featured six teams in its inaugural season, with Frankfurt Loewen (Wolves) defeating Ansbach Grizzlies 14-6 in German Bowl I. The two teams went on to dominate German American Football for the next three years, Frankfurt again defeating the Grizzlies in German Bowl II before Ansbach got revenge in German Bowl III, winning 27-6. This signalled a slow decline for the Loewen while Ansbach continued with success, winning the German Bowl in 1982 by 12-6 versus Cologne Crocodiles. German Bowl V again saw the Grizzlies compete but this time they lost 22-7 to Duesseldorf Panther, the oldest team in Germany. These two teams played in the next two German Bowls also as Duesseldorf won German Bowl VI 27-13 but lost in German Bowl VII in 1985 14-7 as yet again a team failed to capture the three-in-a-row. After 5 years of two Conferences (Nord and Sued – North and South) a Four Conference System was introduced in 1986 – Nord A, Nord B, Sued A and Sued B with the number of teams jumping from 15 to 24.

Report

On February 11, 1981, James Foster witnessed an Indoor Soccer game at Madison Square Garden, and drew out the outline of an Indoor American Football field on a manilla envelope, using the same basic premise of a football field on a converted Ice Hockey rink. [2]

The first AFL test game was held on 27 April 1986 in Rockford, Illinois between the Rockford Metros and Chicago Politicians , and following positive public response the first “showcase game” in Chicago in front of 8,200 fans on February 27, 1987. [2; 4-5]

The AFL debut season began on 19 June 1987, with four teams: Chicago Bruisers, Denver Dynamite, Pittsburgh Gladiators & Washington Comandos. Denver Dynamite won Arena Bowl I, defeating Pittsburgh Gladiators 45-16 [2]

The second AFL season featued an additional three teams: Los Angeles Cobras, New England Steamrollers & New York Knights, who played only that season. Washington Commandos sat out the season Detroit Drive won Arena Bowl II, 24-13 over Chicago Bruisers. [2]

The third AFL season, in 1989, was a shortened four-game season, with five teams, including the returned Commandos, now playing in Maryland. Detroit again won the Arena Bowl, beating Pittsburgh 39-26. Following the season, the league played two successful exhibition games in Paris (France) & London (England). THE US Patent office granted the league a Patent, making it the first patented, rival-free sports league in history. [2]

the fourth AFL season, saw an expansion of two teams: Albany Firebirds & Dallas Texans, with Chicago dropping out. Detroit Drive won the Arena Bowl for the third year in succession, defeating Dallas 51-27. [2]

A further expansion in 1991, saw teams added in Orlando (Predators) and New Orleans (Night) and Columbus (Thunderbolts), with Pittsburgh relocating to Tampa Bay, becoming the Storm and the Commandos ceasing operation.The league’s expansion into the Southeast would prove enduringly successful, with the Tampa Bay & Orlando franchises remaing in existence right through to the league’s waning years in the late-2010s. Detroit was defeated in the Arena Bowl 48-42 by the Tampa Bay Storm, ending the Drive’s attempts at a four-in-a-row. [2]

In 1992 the league expanded to 12 teams and three divisions, ending the AFL’s formative years, and beginning the AFL’s rise to become what the Wall Street Journal called the fifth Major [2].

Report

The second season of the resurrected United Football League in 2010 saw an expansion into the Midwest with the addition of Omaha Nighthawks (Nebraska). The Hartford Colonials replaced the New York Sentinels and the California Redwoods moved from San Jose to Sacramento renaming themselves the Mountain Lions. The League was also far more competitive with Las Vegas Locomotives and Florida Tuskers (Orlando) both reaching the Championship Game on 5-3 records, Florida after a 27-10 victory in Omaha which consigned the Nighthawks to bottom spot on 3-5. Hartford also finished 3-5 with a win at home to Las Vegas Locomotives on the last day of the season. Sacramento Mountain Lions finished 4-4 the week before with a huge 41-3 victory over Omaha but their slim hopes were dashed on the Final week when they had to watch on with a bye week. The Championship Game itself was also close as Las Vegas Locomotives won by 3 points against Florida Tuskers for the second time in as many seasons defeating the Tuskers 23-20 with a fourth quarter safety sealing the victory.

Report

The United Football League played its first season in 2009, styling itself as a development league for the National Football League (NFL). The 2009 season featured four teams: Las Vegas Locomotives, Florida Tuskers (Orlando), California Redwoods (San Jose) and New York Sentinels with each of the games during the regular season going according to form. Florida Tuskers won the Regular Season Championship with a 6-0 record, Las Vegas joined them in the Championship game with a 4-2 record. California Redwoods had a chance to overhaul Las Vegas on the penultimate week of the season but lost 10-16 in the crucial match-up with the Locomotives, dropping the Redwoods to 2-4 for the season after they lost another close encounter with Florida in their last match. New York Sentinels lost all six games. The Championship Game proved to be a thriller with Las Vegas Locomotives shocking the Florida Tuskers 20-17 in overtime.

Report

The Celtic League in Rugby Union underwent another name change in 2017 with the addition of two South African Provinces: Southern Kings and Cheetahs. Leinster won the Championship in 2017-18 and again in 2018-19, and were well out in front in 2019-20 after winning all of their first 13 games before the COVID-19 virus outbreak caused the cancellation of the rest of the season. The Pro 14 returned to play in 2020-21 with the temporary absence of the South African Provinces. Leinster defeated Munster 16-6 in the Final series to continue their dominance of the Pro 14

About Pro14 Rugby

14 Clubs from across five Nations: Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Italy and South Africa compete for the Guinness Pro14 Rugby Championship. The Leagues Origins lie in the formation of a competition for Welsh and Scottish clubs, which in 2001 became the Celtic League after the addition of the four Irish Provinces. In 2010 the Competition added two Italian Clubs to bring the number of countries involved to four, reflected in the name change to Pro12 in later seasons. In what was an historic move in 2017, the Competition became the most diverse yet, with the addition of two South African Provinces, becoming a Cross-Hemisphere Competition for the first time.

Report

Zabbar St. Patrick, founded in 1912 were not named St. Patrick until 1948 when they sought to align themselves with other areas seeking independence from England. They were relegated after finishing second last in the 10 team Maltese Top flight in 2004-05. Another Maltese team with an Irish name was Hibernians, named, like the more famous Scottish Club of the same name in Edinburgh after an old name for Ireland (Hibernia). They finished third in the Maltese League in 2004-05, five points behind Champions Sliema Wanderers. [References: 2-3]
