Report

The Maynooth University Flag Football team has existed since 2010 when it was known as NUI Maynooth Phantoms. The highlight of the year for the first four years was the annual Tournament they hosted in the Maynooth University College grounds. In 2012-13 season, they had their greatest achievement, beating the Mullingar Minotaurs in the Turkey Bowl hosted by Dublin 86ers, and they also won a tournament at the end of the 2010-11 season, beating Dublin 86ers in the Final.

They entered the first Emerald Bowl Conference season in 2014-15, where they have had less luck, finishing with a 50% record twice, and a losing record twice. In 2019 the dropped dowm to the Glas Bowl Conference, where they reached the Final, losing to Craigavon Cowboys 2nds. It was their first winning season since the start of the Irish Flag Football League in 2014.

They were known as the NUI Maynooth Phantoms from 2010-2015, and the Maynooth University Bulls from 2015 to 2016, and since then as Maynooth University Hurricanes. The annual Maynooth Tournament, held from 2011 to 2014 was re-established in 2020, when it became an International Charity Tournament.

QB Aidan Kelly topped off a long-drive on Drimnagh’s first possession with a long, winding run. Kelly found WR Liam Farrell for the one-point conversion. Although suffering a knee-injury on the play, Farrell recovered. The eagles levelled the scores with their second drive, QB Chris Wild finding Chris Broughton in the endzone. The conversion was unsuccessful, and the Cycos mainained the lead. QB Kelly found WR Farrel with two touchdown passes on the next two Cycos drives, with Kelly intercepting the Eagles in between. This made the score 19-6. The Cycos got their fourth TD with a run from Stephen Dunne. He also caught the pass for the two-point conversion, making the score 27-6. Kelly found Farrell for a hat-trick of TD passes with Dunne once again adding the two-point conversion to make the score 35-6. Reference: [6]

The Cycos defence also got on the scoreboard, when Liam Farrell returned an interception for a TD. Iain McGuinness caught the one-point conversion, making it 42-6 to Drimnagh. McGuinness got an interception of his own to set up the final Drimnagh scoring drive, as Aidan Kelly ran in another TD. On defence, Cameron Cramer and Darren Brady both sacked the Quarterback, while the Eagles got two sacks of their own. QB Aidan Kelly picked up the Cycos MVP award. Reference: [6]
