International American Football – Green Isle All-Stars 0 Marlboro Shamrocks 36 – Box-Score and Match Report 29 November 1986

Green Isle All-Stars 0 Marlboro Shamrocks 36

At Glenalbyn, Dublin – The Marlboro Shamrocks, from Boston, Massachusetts, became the first ever US visitors to play an Irish team when in 1986 they took on and defeated an Irish American Football Championship All-Stars side, the Green Isle All-Stars, 36-0. With Billy Lefreniere, a former New York Giants trialist, outstanding for the Shamrocks, scoring three touchdowns in the first half, including an 85 yard run, the Boston team constantly put the Irish team under pressure. Despite good work by Mark Harris, Chris Millar and Martin Murphy, the All-Stars could not prevent Gene Massa hauling in a 3 yard touchdown in the third quarter. Paul Sharon added the visitors fourth touchdown while four Point After Touchdowns from five attempts by Pat Caruso and a Safety in the final quarter completed the scoring for the Shamrocks.

Report

Irish American Football League teams played the first ever matches between Irish and American teams in 1986 and 1987. The matches were against Eastern Football League teams, a Semi-Pro League that still operates in the Massachusetts region.

The Irish teams were easily outclassed in what was a sport that was brand new to Ireland, losing heavily with not a single team scoring over the course of the five matches.

In 1986 the Marlboro Shamrocks defeated an IAFL All-All Star Team 36-0, and in 1987 in a pre-season game the Taunton Raiders, also from Massachusetts won 51-0 against the Dublin Celts. Later that year the Charletown Townies of Massachusetts toured Ireland beating Dublin Tornadoes, Craigavon Cowboys and Dublin Celts. In 1988 the Celts made a return visit to Massachusetts to play the Taunton Raiders, losing 50-0 at Middlesborough High School. [Reference: 1-6]

William Wagner Trophy – Tallaght Outlaws 0 Claremont-McKenna Stags 67 – 19 May 2007

Irish American Football Association / Global Football

William Wagner Trophy 2007

19 May 2007 – Postal Club Tallaght – Tallaght Outlaws 0 Claremont-McKenna (CMC) Stags 67

The Tallaght Outlaws were the first Irish Club to play a National Collegiate American Football Association Division III College, when they hosted the third Global Football match in Ireland, after two involving Team Ireland in 2004 and 2005. The Stags, from Claremont, 30 miles East of Los Angeles in the Pomona Valley, in the Foothills of San Gabriel Mountains, had played the Great Britain Bulldogs the previous year in California, and as expected were comfortable winners, although the Outlaws put up a batter-than-expected match to them.

The Stags were led by quarterback Aaron Gonzales on Offense, and scored a number of spectacular touchdowns, with Mike Hirokawa and D.J. Lillard scoring numerous touchdowns, and an 80-yard return by Ryan Larson. On defense, standouts were cornerback Dan Picciotto and defensive lineman Kevin Byram.

The Outlaws, however, put in a number of good individual performances. Dan Breslin got an interception, and put in the biggest hit of the day on his way to winning the MVP Award. James Hugges, Barry Bolton and Paul O’Toole all had good games for the Tallaght side. The biggest compliment of the day came from some of the Stags staff, who said the Outlaws performance was on a par with the Great Britain Bulldogs performance the previous Autumn in California. [Ref: 1-2]

The game was named in honour of William Wagner, a Stags player who had passed away a few months previously. Notable about the College is that Bono visited in October 2007. [Ref: 5]

In 1991 an Irish All-Stars lost to the USAF Lakenheath Eagles, who were USAFE League champions at the time (USAFE was the United States Air Force in Europe Football League from 1947 to early 1990s). the Irish lost heavily, but managed to put a touchdown on the board – Quarterback Eddie Goggins connecting with Wide Receiver Dermot Connolly for a TD Pass. [Ref: 18-19]

The Dublin Tornadoes defeated a US Coastguard team, from the Rota Naval Base in Spain 7-0 in June 1993, and in 1998 another Dublin team, Dublin Tigers, lost to Maranatha Baptist, an American High School team.

In 2000, there was no Irish League and the only match played was the Ireland National Team versus Mount St. Joseph’s High School from Baltimore, Maryland. Ireland lost 36-12, but the match led to the rebirth of American Football in Ireland.

Carricfergus Knights lost 6-34 to a Canadian U21 team in August 2002.

The University of Limerick Vikings also played a match against Philadelphia Blue Flame – losing 22-0 to a team of Firefighters and Policemen playing in the National Services League.

As part of the Global Ireland Football Tournament in 2012, in which over a dozen small Colleges & High Schools from North America played in various venues around Ireland, the Oak Park High School from Winnipeg Manitoba, beat Villanova College, from King City in Ontario 18-9, in front of 3,000 at Pairc Tailteann, in Navan Co. Meath.

The following year, as part of the Gathering Ireland celebrations in 2013, the Greendell Falcons, who play in the Winnipeg Major Football League played two games in Ireland – one against the Ireland U20s team, which they lost, and one against Bristol Academy Pride, who play in the European US High Schools League. Greendell won the latter 39-22 in front of 2,500 spectators at Tallaght Stadium. The Falcons Wide Receiver, Bryce LeBlanc was named MVP.

Ireland’s U20s lost a match in 2017, 54-6 to Team USA American Football Worldwide, a team of Elite High School students representing USA on tours throughout Europe. [Ref: 18-24]

Report

Irish American Football League teams graduated to playing National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III teams in 2004, showing a marked improvement on their first outings in the 1980s and 1990s against American opposition.

The Tallaght Outlaws created History in 2007, becoming the first Irish Club to play NCAA opposition, losing to Claremont-McKenna Stags of California 67-0. [3]

Over the next three years the Dublin Rebels lost twice to Midwestern All-Star teams – one from Chicago and one representing a Midwestern Conference. [4][16]

In 2012 Trinity College would lose by 50-odd points to the New England Ironmen, while the UL Vikings similarly lost to Wisconsin-Eau Claire. [5][6]

2014 saw Centre College Colonels pay the first of two visits to Ireland, not holding back in a 90-0 defeat of the Dublin Rebels. [7] They would return in 2017 beating the Belfast Trojans 47-0.[11]  The Rebels would also lose heavily in 2018 to Dubuque Spartans from Iowa. [15]

In between these matches the Belfast Trojans would come the closest an Irish team has ever come to beating a US team, losing to the Sewanee Tigers of Kentucky 27-26 [8]. They entertained another American College, Augustana Vikings from Illinois in 2019, losing 65-0.
