Report

The National Football League Preseason of 1986 featured the American Bowl ’86 in London, England, where the Chicago Bears defeated the Dallas Cowboys 17-6. The Preseason, as usual, opened with the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio, where the New England Patriots won a tight game 21-16 against the St. Louis Cardinals. After four more weeks of games, Preseason Division titles went to New England Patriots (4-1, AFC East), Cleveland Browns (4-0, AFC Central), San Diego Chargers (3-1, AFC West), New York Giants (3-1, NFC East), Chicago Bears (4-1, NFC Central), and Atlanta Falcons (2-2, NFC West). Four of these teams went on to win their Regular Season Division title, only the San Diego Chargers (who lost out to the Denver Broncos) and Atlanta Falcons who lost out to San Francisco 49ers, failed to translate Preseason form into Regular Season Championships.

The Pirates had big wins over both Louisville Xtreme (49-18 on opening day) and 36-18 versus Bismarck Bucks.

Week 4 15-16 May 2021

Bismarck Bucks moved to 2-1 with a win over Green Bay Blizzard, which dropped the Blizzard to 2-2. Meanwhile, most of the rest of the League played their opening games. Iowa Barnstormers defeated Sioux Falls Storm 56-36, early indication that the Storm’s long-standing record of Bowl wins and appearances may be threatened in 2021. Making their debut were Frisco Fighters, from Texas, who triumphed in their first ever game 36-33 at Spokane Shock of Washington State, one of the oldest of the Arena Indoor Football teams.

This version of American Football is most popular in Mexico, hence names like Tucson Sugar Skulls.

Finnish American Football Federation Maple Bowls 1980-Present [Reference: 2-6]

Report

The first SAJL Finnish American Football Federation Maple Bowl was played in 1980 with Espoo Poli, from a small town on the outskirts og Helsinki defeating Helsinki MAJS 12-0. The next four Maple Bowls were won by Helsinki teams (MAJS in 1981, Roosters in 1982 and 1983 and East City Giants in 1984). Vantaa TAFT, another team from a small town on the outskirts of Helsinki, won the title in 1985, then the Helsinki Roosters won three-in-a-row from 1986 to 1989. Munkka Colts, a suburb of Helsinki won the 10th Maple Bowl 3-0 with just a Field Goal.

The second decade of the Maple Bowl brought a Helsinki dominance with Helsinki East City Giants winning four in-a-row from 1991 to 1994, and the Roosters winning in 1990 and then six-in-a-row from 1995 to 2000. Seinäjoki Crocodiles became the first team from outside the Greater Helsinki Area to win the Maple Bowl in 2001, defeating the Roosters 15-13. This started a period of regional dominance, with Turku Trojans winning in 2003, interrupted by the Roosters again in 2001 and 2003, before the Porvoo Butchers from 35 Km east of the Helsinki City Limits winning six-in-a-row from 2005 to 2010.

Helsinki Wolverines won their first Maple Bowl in 2011, and then the Helsinki Roosters won another seven from 2012 to 2019, interrupted only by Seinäjoki Crocodiles second Maple Bowl triumph in 2015.

About American Football

American Football, and its close cousin, Canadian Football are two variations of Gridiron Footbal, the dominant codes of the game in both countries. Both codes evolved side by side from Rugby fron the 1850s onwards, with Canadian Football currently employing 12-player squads as opposed to American Football which plays 11v11. Unlike in Rugby forward passes are allowed by the Quarterback (each position in Gridiron Football is highly specialised). Scoring is similar to Rugby except a Touchdown (Try) is worth 6 points, and a conversion kick one point. teams have the option of passing or running the conversion into the endzone (where one must score the touchdown) for two points. The main object of the sports are to get the ball into the other teams endzone (endzones are at either end of the pitch). Teams do not have unlimited attempts to do so, however, and if they do not make 10 yards in four downs (attempts) the ball is turned over (3 downs in Canadian Football). Teams have the option of kicking a Field Goal, worth 3 points, if they think they won’t make the 10 yards. In Canadian Football there is also a ‘Rouge’, whereby one point is scored if the ball is kicked through the other teams endzone. Another popular version of the game in Mexico and USA is Arena or Indoor Football, which is played on a 50 yard field with two 8 yard endzones, with teams having 5 downs in which to score, three of which must be passing plays. It is played on converted Ice Hockey Rinks. A Canadian Football field is 110 yards long with two 20 yard endzones and an American Football field is 100 yards long with two 10 yard endzones.

Report

A new 8-team fully professional American Football League in Europe – the European League of Football is planned to start in June 2021 with a 12-week 10-game schedule announced, playing by NFL rules as opposed to NCAA as everywhere else in Europe.

It will be the first fully professional league since the demise of NFL Europa in 2007, and has been met with much criticism by the German Football League – the current top league in Europe – as 6 of the franchises will be based in Germany, with two more in Spain (Barcelona Dragons) and Poland (three times Champions Wroclaw Panthers).

Following the demise of the NFLE/WLAF, the Central European Football League, featuring teams from Poland to Turkey and France to Hungary was a weekly Football League, but not fully pro, lasting until 2016.

The six German teams are Berlin Thunder, Frankfurt Galaxy, Cologne Centurions and Hamburg Sea Devils (all using the same names as their previous NFL Europe/World League of American Football team), Stuttgart Surge (using the name of the old Sacramento Surge team in the WLAF) and Leipzig Kings. Barcelona Dragons is also a resurrection of the previous NFLE/WLAF team name.
