Report

The first American Football Ireland Official Madden Championship (Computer Console Game) started in 2020, providing American Football in response to the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. There are two Championships: a Playstation 4 and Xbox One Championship, each single elimination with 64 players entering each, who must be registered members of AFI clubs.

Maynooth University Hurricanes (4-0), South Dublin Panthers (3-0), Trinity College Dublin (2-0), West Dublin Rhinos (2-0) and NI Razorbacks (1-0) all had 100% records after Round 1.

After Round 2, Trinity College Dublin (4-0) were the only team with a perfect record, and along with South Dublin Panthers (5-1), Cork Admirals (4-1), MU Hurricanes (6-2), and Belfast Trojans and Donegal / Derry Vipers (both 4-2) the only teams with two players left.

The Quarter-Final match-ups left no team with more than one player left: Trinity College Dublin, South Dublin Panthers, Cork Admirals, MU Hurricanes, Belfast Trojans, Donegal/Derry Vipers, Belfast Knights and Downpatrick Saints all winning through to the Semi-Finals.

Jonathan Hedley of the Belfast Knights and Jahn Dasini of the Cork Admirals progressed to the Final of the PS4 Championship, with Jonathan Hedley prevailing 38-35. In the XBox Final, Darren Quinn of the Donegal/Derry Vipers triumphed James Smyth of the South Dublin Panthers 35-24 to make it an Ulster double in the first ever AFI Madden Championship.
