Report

Edenderry Eagles won their second Emerald Bowl in three years with a comprehensive 54-24 victory over Trinity College Dublin in the Final. Trinity had been helped by some questionable calls in their playoff match with Dublin Bay Raptors [4], and Louth Mavericks and Craigavon Cowboys, the best teams during the regular season, both faltered in the Semi-Finals, losing to the Edenderry Eagles and Trinity College (26-6) respectively.

________________________________________________________

The 2018 Irish Flag Football League Emerald Bowl Conference featured a record 19 teams – the most ever in an Irish Flag Football League. The teams were divided into 4 divisions (North, South, East and West) with the divisions champions and two next best overall reaching the Playoffs.

The Craigavon Cowboys won their second Emerald Bowl 18-12 over Louth Mavericks.

The season started on September 1 with rounds hosted by NI Razorbacks (2 wins for Craigavon) and Cork City Cosmos (2 wins for Edenderry Eagles). Week 2 saw games played in Craigavon where the Cowboys moved to 4-0 and Dundalk IT (home of the Louth Mavericks) where the Dublin Bay raptors won twice.

Week 3 saw two wins for hosts Westmeath Minotaurs in the West, while Week 4 saw the UL Vikings start of at 2-0 in the South with wins over UCC and Cork City. Dublin Rebels and UCD both picked up wins over South Dublin Panthers in the East.

Week 5 saw a big weekend of games hosted by UCD. The Raptors won again before picking up their first loss by a single point to Craigavon wwho moved to 6-0 with a big win over Cork City Cosmos. Belfast Trojans also picked up two wins on the day.

In Week 6 the Belfast Knights made a move up the North table with wins over NI Razorbacks and Ulster Elks, while in the West Trinity College Dublin started out at 2-0 with wins over Meath Bulldogs and Westmeath Minoaturs. In the East Louth Mavericks, Dublin Rebels and UCD all won one and lost one in games amongst each other in what was proving to be the tightest division to call.

Week 7’s games in Maynooth gave the Belfast Trojans and Trinity College Dublin two more wins each, while in the South Edenderry Eagles made a big move for the Division title with huge wins over UL Vikings and UCC.

There were three host teams for Week 8’s games. Edenderry Eagles gained two more wins at home in Co. Offaly over the Raptors and UCD, who dented Dublin Bay’s hopes with a big win. The games in Limerick were called off after Maynooth University Hurricanes forfeited, and in Northern Ireland Craigavon got two more big wins over NI Razorbacks and Ulster Elks.

In Week 9 Trinity College got two more big wins inn Cill Dara over the Reapers and Meath Bulldogs, while big round of fixtures in Westmannstown (home of the South Dublin Panthers) saw the Louth Mavericks win again, while the Belfast Trojans picked up two valuable wins over UCC and Ulster Elks.

In Week 10 in Cork Edenderry had a hiccup against UCC who came away with two wins, while in Week 11 a big round of fixtures in Maynooth saw the Belfast Knights make a push for the Playoffs with two big wins against Cork City and Cill Dara Reapers. Also in week 11, a big round of fixtures in UCC, saw UCC get two wins over Dublin Rebels and Westmeath Minotaurs while Trinity College continued destroying teams, scoring 52 points against both Louth Mavericks and UL Vikings.

Week 12 saw Belfast Knights and Craigavon Cowboys share the spoils in their game with each other, while both defeated Ulster Elks. In Louth, the hosts picked up 3 vital wins, including one over Dublin Bay Raptors which ultimately decided the division title. Westmeath Minotaurs also picked up two wins.

The Final weeks fixtures saw Trinity College Dublin finish off the regular season as the only team on 10-0 with two big wins over Cill Dara Reapers (82-0) and Maynooth Hurricanes (52-14). Dublin Bay Raptors won all three of their games in South Dublin by forfeit but it was not enough to reach the Playoffs.

The Four Division winners were Craigavon Cowboys (North, 9-0-1), Louth Mavericks (East, 7-3), Trinity College Dublin (West, 10-0) and Edenderry Eagles (South, 9-1). joining them in the Playoffs were Belfast Knights (North, 7-2-1) and Belfast Trojans (North, 7-3). UCC missed out on the Playoffs by 3 Net Points (+115 to the Trojans +118).

In the First Round of the Playoffs, held in the National Sports Campus, Blanchardstown, Dublin, the Louth Mavericks and Edenderry Eagles beat the two Wildcard Belfast teams.

Craigavon Cowboys disposed of Edenderry in the Semi-Finals, while Louth upset TCD. Emerald Bowl V was won by Craigavon 18-12 over Louth Mavericks, thus becoming the first team to win the title twice.
