Report

After a stuttering start to the defence of their title, only beating the South Dublin Swans by one point (49-48) the Belfast Redbacks breezed through the rest of the season, with no defeats, winning the Grand Final by 77-48 against Cork’s Leeside Lions.

The other 2 teams in the League were competitive with the Lions, Galway Magpies’ two wins over South Dublin Swans the only difference between the three sides, although Galway failed to make the Grand Final after losing 70-52 to the Lions in the Semi-Final.

After The Grand Final Dean Skinner of the Belfast Redbacks was presented with the League’s Best & Fairest Award and Shaun “Smurf” Murphy of Galway Magpies with the Top Goalscorer Award with a tally of 25 goals.

Report

Belfast Redbacks AFL Grand Final 2018 Team Photo – Courtesy AFL Ireland Facebook Page [12]

A New Era for Australian Rules in Ireland dawned in 2018 with a rebranding to Australian Football League Ireland and the first full Women’s League Season.

The Men’s 2018 Premiership was won by Belfast Redbacks with a 100% record, and they went on to win the Grand Final in style against the Galway Magpies 9.14.68 to 3.11.29 [14]

The Redbacks were only really troubled in Round 2 (winning 39-37 against the ‘Pies) and Round 4 (a close 34-33 encounter with the South Dublin Swans.

The Leeside Lions from Cork had stared strongly, winning both their Round 1 games, as did Belfast, but fell away after that as Galway mounted a late challenge, going 3-1 in their last four matches after a 1-4 start, before beating Leeside in the Semi-Final 41-16. [13]

The Season, however, belonged to the Redbacks who won the Final comfortably against the Magpies, to record their third Grand Final Victory. [14]
