Report

The Scottish Men’s National team visited Northern Ireland for the first time in 10 years, winning a see-saw match 3 sets to 2. London-based Player/Coach of Northern Ireland, Dave Rivers & team Captain, Nick Wright of UUJ, worked tirelessly throughout, but the hosts fell 15-11 in the deciding set.

In the Under 18 Women’s International, Ireland were the visitors to UUJ, with Dubliners Lyndsey Condell & Aoife Carroll (Captain) providing excellent service. The hosts responded with some excellent blocking from Claire Hamilton & Chloe Walkinshaw, which produced an equaliser at 2-sets-each. Ireland’s Lyndsey Condell produced the boom-serves which swung it for the Southerners, taking the deciding set 15-5.

Report

Ireland beat Scotland in Volleyball for the first time ever in the third match of three in this Celtic Nations Series in Dublin. In the third match Ireland dropped the first set but won the Final three, all by two points. Every point was fought to the death and sets 2 and 3 went to exta points, finishing 28-26 and 31-29 to the Irish. Ireland closed out the win with a hard fought 25-23 victory in the fourth set. Irish stars on the day were Glenn Whelan on the wing and Per Plough up the middle.

About

The United States Air Force in Europe Football League (USAFE – pronounced “You-Safe”) was the League for Air Force Personnel stationed at Cold War Military Bases in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy & Greece.

There were three Conferences: UK Sports Conference, Continental Sports Conference (German & France) and Mediterranean Sports Conference (Italy & Greece). While the MSC was a competitive Conference, the Finals were usually played between the Winners of the UKSC and the CSC.

Following the end of the Cold War in the early 1990s, the USAFE Football League was discontinued and the only US Military Football now played in the UK is High School Football at Lakenheath, London Central (High Wycombe), Alconbury & Menwith Hill. [1]

The United States ARmy EURope played a separate League (USAREUR). [6]

The Ramstein Rams, Alconbury Spartans, Burtonwood Bullets & Weathersfield Raiders all played matches in Ireland, including one at Croke Park in aid of the Irish Red Cross. [12-15]

Report

The American Expeditionary Force, before heading home from World War I, played a series of morale-boosting games at the end of 1918 and first half of 1919.

In the Unofficial 1918 Championship, matches were played on Christmas Day & New Year’s Day deciding the Service of Supplies (SOS) and First Army Divisions Championships, with a Final following this on the 19th January 1919, which was won 12-0 by SOS Saint-Nazaire.

The following Spring (1919), the remaing Army men in France were not due to return home until July, so the General of the Armed Expeditionary Force, General John J. Persching, gave General Order 241, which stipulated the formation of sports Championships in American Football, Baseball, Basketball, Soccer, Track & Field and Boxing. No one could not participate and the slogan was “Everybody in the game!”.

A budget of $1 Million (doubled to $2 Million by Washington) was made for uniforms – the Equivalent of $27 Million in 2014.

The Championships were organised in Qualifying Rounds for the Various Armies and Divisions, with Playoffs from Quarter-Finals onwards played at large Stadiums in Paris. A Total of 1, 335, 732 Football Players and Spectators took part in the Football Section, making it the Most popular, just ahead of boxing.

The Championship was won by the 89th (Rolling W) Division 14-6 over the 36th (Panther) Division.

These were among the earliest documented Football games in Europe, of the American Code.
