Hypothetical Fantasy Football NCAA-Style Conference Alignment for all American Football Ireland Teams Ever 2021

Notes

(1) The “Northern Ireland Championship” features the Seven Pre-Irish American Football League of 1986 teams that were based in Ireland: five “European Theater of Operations” ETO Football Championship teams based in Northern Ireland during WWII and the two teams of specially-trained Rugby Players who played a Festival match at Banbridge RFC in 1983.

(2) The Irish Conference includes six Republic of Ireland teams who were scheduled to play in the Irish American Football League in 1990, but never did – in the end only five Northern Ireland teams started the season, with Dublin Celts playing in the British 2nd Division. At least one Preseason Friendly was played among these teams: Bray Seahawks v Dublin Tornadoes, and Lee Valley Steelers (Cork) and Limerick Patriots were to play in the League in 1992 and 1993. Dublin Pirates collapsed at the end of the season and a failed attempt was made to bring them back in 1992. Nothing else is known about the Waterford and Galway franchises, not even their name, and also the team in Athy mentioned as “already playing” in Lindie Naughton’s Minority Sports Column in the Evening Herald in 1993.

(3) The Northern Ireland Junior American League includes not just teams which played Junior Football only (City Colts, Ballymena Wolfhounds, Prospect Pumas and Brownlow Bandit, but also those who played Two-Touch only – a form of Contact Football without pads and helmets – all players could be tackled except the ball carrier who could only be tackled by placing two hands on him or her. TheseTwo-Touch Only teams are: Lisburn Groundhogs, Maiden City Maulers and Peel Crusaders (Isle of Man).

(4) DV8 Development League includes 8v8 Development League-only teams, who never played full 11v11 Tackle Football.

(5) A separate Belfast Knights and Carrickfergus Knights have been created for the purposes of this hypothetitcal “Madden” / “Fantasy Football” League for the two Eras of the Knights history.

(6) Galway Sea Devils and Dundalk IT Razorbacks, while both never played in the League, were full members (*)

Report

In the first season of AFL Ireland Fantasy NFL, Roscommon Rascals and Killiney Kats jumped off the 3-0 starts in the National Conference and Irish Conference respectively. Only Killiney Kats were able to keep up the pace finishing with a 12-3 record. By the end of the season they had won the Irish Conference and Longford Raiders the National Conference although all teams in that Conference finished with a losing record.

The Raiders finished on 7-8, with the Roscommon Rascals (5-10) and Knocklyon Thunderbirds (4-11) entering the Consolation Bracket. Also qualifying for the Championship Playoffs in the Irish Conference were The Blue Skies who finished second on 10-5, and Dublin City Storm on 7-8.

The Playoffs featured a number of shocks – Knocklyon Thunderbirds defeated Roscommon Rascals to win the Consolation and Dublin City Storm shocked both Killiney Kats in the Semi-Finals and The Blue Skies in the Fantasy SuperBowl. Killiney Kats beat Longford Raiders to take third.

Report

The Irish Fantasy League of American Football started in 1994 with five teams: Crumlin Red Giants (Champions 1994), Maltese Mastodons, Wicklow Wolves, Castleknock Cougars and Leitrim Cruisers. Corrigeen Crusaders and South Central Stingrays joined in 1995, but the winners that year and in 1996 were Wicklow Wolves. The only change in 1996 was a move for the Maltese Mastodons to Mornington.

1997 saw another expansion team: Casement Cheetahs. this year the new, match-up league system was introduced, with two Conferences, Lombardi and Madden introduced, with teams placed in one or the other depending on where they finished the previous year. Promotion and Relegation was also introduced. (For the IFLAF 1997-2005 see: Irish Fantasy League of American Football 1997-2005 and for IFLAF 2006-2015 Irish Fantasy League of American Football 2006-2015 ). The League folded in 2015 after all of the original franchises had left.

About

The Irish Fantasy League of American Football was set up in 1994 with 5 teams. By 1997 it had grown to 8 teams, with the top 4 teams playing in the Lombardi Conference, and the newer or less established teams playing in the Madden Conference. There was promotion and relegation between the Conferences, and no playoffs.

The League expanded to 10 teams in 2002, and went back down to 8 teams in 2006, with a decision to make the League a single division. The League lasted until 2015, when the Comissioner retired.
