This was the end of their appearances in the Final, with the team losing its first playoff match on 8 of the next 12 seasons, before returning to the Shamrock Bowl in 2017, losing to the Dublin Rebels wherupon the decision was taken to move to Belfast in order to continue playing at the top level The Knights have also played two games against Canadian opposition and finished third in the Charleroi Trophy in Belgium in 2003, defeating France’s Celtes de Mitry 22-8 after losing to Belgian hosts Charleroi Cougars 8-6. |
