Report

____________________________________________________________________

Drimnagh Cycos 49 Leicester Europa Eagles 6 – Played in Sallins, Co. Kildare. In warm non-sunny conditions, Leicester started four-and-out as the Cycos defence established themselves early on. 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]

About

From 1997 to 2005 the Drimnagh Cycos (Ireland) and the Leicester Europa Eagles (England) competed for the Anglo-Irish Flag Football Challenge Trophy. These matches were the first International matches involving Irish or British Flag Football Teams. Matches played in Leiceser were played under 5-a-side Rules while matches in Dublin were played under Irish 7-a-side Rules, where every man is an eligible receiver, which was then-current in Ireland.

Report

______________________________________________________________________________

Two Touchdown Passes from QB Aiden Kelly, and one which he ran in himself from 30 yards for the winning score were enough to give the Cycos victory over the Leicester Europa Eagles in Dublin. The Cycos opened the scoring with Kelly’s first TD Pass to Liam Farrel, a deep one to put them 6-0 up. Chris Wild found Craig Broughton for a TD reception of their own to level the scores for the Europa Eagles, and it remained 6-6 until halftime. [1]

Eagles head coach Andy O’Sullivan did some halftime reorganisation, and the Eagles went ahead with a bomb from Wild to Andy Gambrill. A Paul Costall interceprtion put Drimnagh under further pressure but they responded with another Kelly-Farrell connection for a touchdown. It looked like overtime would be needed but Kelly ran in from 30 yards to put the Cycos ahead when all his receivers were covered. He then connected with Tight End Bob Curran for the two point conversion to seal the victory. [1]
