Week 1 Recap

Craigavon Cowboys, Belfast Trojans and Edenderry Eagles all got off to a perfect start in the American Football Ireland Flag Premier Division 2021 with the Cowboys winning against both North Leinster teams the Louth Mavericks (24-8) and Maynooth University Hurricanes (a closer match at 40-38). The Trojans squeaked by the Belfast Knights 27-26 in their first game before defeating the Mavericks 24-18 and the Edenderry Eagles continued their winning ways with a 28-6 win versus Trinity College Dublin and a huge 46-12 win against the Cork City Outlaws. The Eagles also picked up two forfeit wins over the University College Cork Raiders who failed to start the season. The other four South Conference teams the Dublin Bay Raptors, Trinity College Dublin, and Cork City Outlaws also picked up two forfeit wins. Trinity picked up a close 36-28 win versus the Raptors who defeated the Outlaws 52-38 in a game preplayed from Week 2 due to the Raiders forfeiting (the game gave both teams two games for their journey). In the other game the Hurricanes won 35-24 against the Knights.

About Flag Football and the AFI Flag Premier Division

Flag Football is a non-contact version of American Football that is very like Tag Rugby whereby players have flags attached to a belt around their waist which must be pulled off in order to tackle the ball carrier. It is Coed (Mixed – both men and women, boys and girls can play on the same teams) and played on a smaller field than the 11v11 full-contact pads and helmets version of the sport.

The American Football Ireland Flag Premier Division is the top level of Flag Football in Ireland.
