Report

Terry Smith’s Manchester Spartans entered the European League – Continental Conference in 1993, losing two games to Hamburg Blue Devils. They changed their name to the Euro Spartans to reflect that they were not only playing in a European League now, rather than the BAFA member league the NDMA, but also that they were playing their home games at Saffron Lane in Leicester.

They lost the Semi-Final 0-41 to the Hamburg Blue Devils, who went on to meet the winners of the German Bowl, Munich cowboys, who had defeated Cologne Crocodiles to take the German title. The Hamburg Blue Devils won the Continental Conference Final 31-21. The Hamburg Blue Devils had not played in the German Football League in 1993, only playing an exhibition schedule and Continental Conference matches.

As well as playing in the European League – Continental Conference in 1993 as the Euro Spartans, Terry Smith’s Manchester Spartans organised the European League – UK Conference. Teams were named after NFL teams, but the prefix Euro- added to avoid confusion. All matches were played at Leicester’s Saffron Lane Stadium.

While the Spartans themselves didn’t play in the League, there were four teams: EuroSteelers, EuroRaiders, EuroBears and EuroMonarchs, the last one named after the London Monarchs, who had played in the World League of American Football – a AAA Development League of the NFL – from 1991 to 1992 (and would again play in 1995 when the League returned as a Europe-only league.

The UK Conference had a unusual format – the four teams played a two-game schedule with all four teams qualifying for the playoffs, rather than a 3-game schedule followed by a Final. The EuroSteelers had finished top of the Standings with two wins from two, but lost to the EuroBears (who had lost both matches in the regular season) in the Semi-Finals. The EuroBears then went on to claim the Championship with a 14-12 victory over the EuroRaiders in the Final.

Report

The Swiss American Football Federation (SAFV / Schweizerischer American Football Verband / Federation Suisse de Football Americain / Federazione Svizzera Football Americano) was established in 1986.

The first Championship (Meisterschaft) featured 8 teams in two divisons, Ost (East) and West, with Lugano Seagulls defeating Zurich Renegades 9-6 in the Final. Two new teams were added in 1987, and Zurich Renegades got their revenge, defeating Lugano Seagulls 8-0 in the Final.

The Nationalliga was split into two Leagues A and B for 1988, with Zurich Renegades repeating as Champions, winning the Swiss Super Bowl, as it was now known 14-8 against Bienna Jets. 1989 was the first year there was no Zurich Renegades in the Swiss Super Bowl, as St. Gallen Raiders defeated Basilisk Mean Machine 35-22. St. Gallen were the champions again in 1990, beating Bulach Giants 36-0 in Swiss Super Bowl ’90.

Final

Tiptree Titans 10 London Acorn Lasers 6

A shaky start by both offenses led to a low-scoring first half, with Simon Dobinson making the sole score in the second quarter, a 40-yard field goal, after missing one in the first period from 27 yards. In the third quarter both sides scored touchdowns, Tiptree’s Quarterback Dominic Harvey connecting with Wide Receiver James Cooke to bring them to the 20-yard line, and then on a fake field goal, holder and free safety Stephen Lamb threw to Michael Lane in the endzone. The Lasers hit back immediately, with Simon Paris running 94-yards on the kickoff return, aided by some excellent blocking. The two extra-point attempt, which would have left them within a Field Goal, failed, leaving the score 10-6 to Tiptree Titans at the end. There was some consolation for the London acorn Lasers as Simon Paris earned the game MVP for his run.
