Four Nations American Football International Friendly – Great Britain Lions 22 Ireland Fighting Irish 0 – 17 March 1995

17 March 1995 – Saffron Lane, Leicester, England.

Great Britain Lions 22 Ireland Fighting Irish 0

The Ireland Fighting Irish, playing in their first Full International went down 22-0 to the Great Britain Lions,  who scored on two passing plays to Mark Cohen & Joe Greenidge before sacking the Irish QB for a Safety.

The GB Lions added a run from Nigel Flemming to make it 22-0 at the end.

The 1995 Irish squad was chosen after trials in November 1995. Tragically, Irish CoachDave Curran, died only hours after the trials in Belfast and Dublin. Coach Curran had been Offensive Co-Ordinator for the Ireland team, and had previously been a coach for 25 years in America, and had been Head Coach of both the Dublin Celts and Dublin Tornadoes, both multiple Shamrock Bowl winners.

This was the first International Match without Coach Curran, and took place in Leicester, on St. Patrick’s Day, 17 March 1995.

Report

On a bright evening in Ostend, the Belgian Barbarians were hoping to gain revenge for defeat to Ireland by 20-19 a year previously. 

Ireland received the ball to start the game with aggresive running from RB Jonathan Siri unfortunately undone by offensive errors. Irish wolfhounds punter Tom Donovan pinned the Belgian offense deep in their own territory, however, they sprung loose on an 80 Touchdown pass from QB Tomasz Firszt to Eric-Junior Hiernaux to open the scoring. Wolfhounds Linebacker Spencer McDowell blocked the extra point kick, however, to leave the score 6-0 to Belgium.

Pentalties and mental mistakes proved costly in a slow quarter for the the Wolfhounds, with injuries to starters LT John McDonald & Wide Receiver Sean McGoldrick, meaning replacements had little time to get up to speed.

Irish Wolfhounds continued with a heavy running game, but penalties continued to marr any offensive territory gained.Tom Donovan continued to give the Irish great field position with some big punts.

The Irish defense continued to shut down the Belgian offense, which persisted with a option run and screen pass plays. A long Irish Wolfhounds pass to WR Jahn Dasini was called back for holding at the line of scrimmage. The halftimde score remained 6-0.

Irish fortunes picked up in the third quarter, as another screen pass from the Belgians, was read perfectly by Irish Defensive Tackle Paddy Sweeney and intercepted, returning it 10 yards to the Belgian 25 yard line.

McMahon and Siri combined with strong runs to bring the ball to the 5 yard line, with a 4th Down and 1 yard to go scenario seeing Siri not only get the first down, but also run in for a Touchdown, with some great blocking by Center Dave Shaw and Right Guard Hassan Jaafar. Marty Caskey slotted the extra point to put Ireland 7-6 up. 

The rest of the third quarter saw the offensive stalemate of the first half continue. with fresh legs in Ben Arulogun & Chris Carson, the Irish found gaps in a tiring Belgian line, but the drive ended at the Belgian 20 yard line.

The Belgians were forced to try deep passes downfield and one was intercepted by Free Safety Alex Kusmirek, giving the Irish a chance to finish the game off, taking over on the 20 yard line of the Belgians. 

The Irish needed one first down to close out the game but unfortunately came up short and Belgium took over with 90 seconds left. The Belgians managed two first downs, causing hearts to miss a beat in the Irish camp, but Spencer McDowell managed to force QB Firszt into a deep pass into the endzone on a blitz, which was chop blocked by the Belgian RB, with the resulting penalty putting Belgium out of Hail Mary range. 

The subsequent play saw a Belgian WR tackled in-bounds on a 10 yard screen pass, and time expired, giving the Irish Wolfhounds a 7-6 victory.

Report

Ireland put in one of their best performances in years against the Coventry Jets, ranked among the top teams in Europe, and the current British Division 1A Champions. The Jets roster included several British Internationals and players with Professional experience.

Erin Wagner was named Team Ireland MVP, picking up some first downs on offense and making some great tackles on defense. Former NFL Europe star Mark Cohen scored two touchdowns, and made several first down receptions, proving the game-winner for Coventry. Other Jets scorers were Running Back Anthony Perkins and Coventry’s 2006 MVP Jeremy Simms.

Perkins made a number of first down runs in the first quarter before scoring the opening touchdown midway through the quarter. Team Ireland responded with an 80-yard drive that got them to the 6-yard line with Simon Mackey, Chris Flynn & Erin Wagner picking up first downs, however, the Jets defense managed to keep Ireland out of the endzone.

The Jets added two touchdowns in the second quarter, one set up by a spectacular sideline catch inside the 5-yard line by Mark Cohen, and the other was a reception from Cohen from QB Tim Spaull after both he and Irish cornerback Willie Coyne both came down with their hands on the ball in the endzone. The Irish had another long drive behind QB Andrew Dennehy in the second quarter but were stopped on fourth down.

The Irish defense stepped up in the second half, with several tackles on the Coventry offense for a loss of yardage, James Kay, Chris Weir, Erin Wagner, Glen Carr and Kenny Hudson all making tackles. The Jets, however, got the ball within scoring range after recovering a fumble. Roxss McCooey came close to making an interception for Ireland, but the Jets scored a few plays later.

Ireland appeared to get stronger as the gamde wore on, and the Jets kept their star players, Cohen, Simms, and defensive Captain Adrian Newey on the field for the fourth quarter. Simon Buggle was now Ireland Quarterback, and he ut together a drive which finished with a scoring run inside from Sam Hodgins on a first-and-goal. Team Ireland also forced a fumble which was recovered by Darragh Farrell for the the turnover.

The Jets got their final TD in the fourth qyarter, when QB Tim Spaull who also played on the GB Lions International team, threw a long touchdown pass to Jeremy Simms. Ireland forced another turnover followingthis as Willie Coyne recovered a muffed punt and sprinted into the endzone for an apparent score, however, the referees ruled that the punter never had full possession of the ball so it couldn’t be advanced. Ireland, however, regained possession.
