Report

SBB Vukovi Belgrade won the 2018 Central European Football League Cup with a 55-41 victory over Gdynia Seahawks of Poland in a high-scoring Final. The Serbian outfit had defeated Hungary’s Budapest Cowbells in the Semi-Finals while the Seahawks had beaten Sakarya Tatankalari of Turkey.

About

The Central European Football League was a AA (3rd Level) European American Football League which operated from 2006 to the present (at time of writing) with the first 11 years as a AAA League based in the Balkans and Central European countries which formed the Soviet Block, Ottoman Empire and Austro-Hungarian Empire of the 20th Century, due to there being not enough teams in each country for their own league prior to 2017.

Since 2017 the CEFL Championship has operated as a AA (3rd Level) Regional Mini-League in Central Europe, stretching from Moscow in Russia in the East, Istanbul in Turkey in the South, Thonon in South-East France in the West and Wroclaw in Poland in the North, while the CEFL Cup has operated as a A Level (4th Level) Regional Mini-League or Cup in the same areas, but primarily in the Balkan countries .

Report

Turku, Finland, was the setting for the 1994 Scandinavian Cup for the winners of the Swedish, Norwegian & Finnish American Football Leagues of 1993. The Danish League was not represented.[1]

In the Semi-final, played on the saturday, The Oslo Fighting Trolls (Norway) led the Uppsala 86ers (Sweden) 17-14 at half-time, before running out 42-21 winners. The game was marred by penalties, with Oslo amassing 80 yards penalties and Uppsala 155. Two players and one trainer from the 86ers were ejected, and also one player from the Trolls.[1]

The final, played on Sunday, featured three-times winner Turku Trojans (Finland) against the Oslo Fighting Trolls. Oslo started the brightest scoring on their first possession, as Turku managed only two first downs (as well as two fumbles and one punt) on their first three possessions. The Trojans, however, went in 15-7 up at half-time, and never looked back, dominating the second-half, putting up 281 yards of offense (218 passing) and 13 first downs, as they went on to win 37-7. The Trolls were held to 51 yards of offense, with only two first downs and no points, by a commanding Turku defense.[1]
