Week 2 (30 April 2022)

In a match-up between two 1-0 teams Carolina Cobras had an easier than expected 48-26 victory over Orlando Predators. Two 0-1 teams met in Florida where Albany Empire won by a single point (61-60) at Jacksonville Sharks. Columbus Lions joined Carolina Cobras on 2-0 after defeating San Antonio Gunslingers 46-45, leaving the Texas expansion team 0-2. [References: 1-2]

Carolina Cobras moved to 3-0 with a 53-48 defeat of Jacksonville Sharks who fall to 0-3. In a battle of two 1-1 teams Albany Empire prevailed with a 78-61 victory over Orlando Predators [References: 1-2]

Week 4 (14 May 2022)

In two match-ups between undefeated teams playing winless teams Jacksonville Sharks (1-3) gained their first victory of the season, 49-20, versus Columbus Lions (2-1), who suffered their first defeat. In a much closer game Orlando Predators (1-3) lost 34-36 to Carolina Cobras (4-0). [References: 1-2]

Carolina Cobras moved to 5-0 scoring over double the San Antonio Gunslingers points with a 72-35 victory while Albany Empire destroyed Jacksonville Sharks 62-29 to move to 3-1. [References: 1-2]

Week 7 (3-5 June 2022)

Orlando Predators (3-3) capitalised on their first win of the season the previous week to win again, 48-44, versus Columbus Lions (2-3). Jacksonville Sharks again managed to both score big and ship big as they narrowly defeated San Antonio Gunslingers 72-67 to move to 3-4. Meanwhile in Upsate New York, Albany Empire (4-2) fell 50-58 to Carolina Cobras (6-1) in a possible Championship decider. [References: 1-2]

Weeks 8-14 (10 June-23 July 2022)

By the end of the Regular Season Albany Empire had clinched the Regular Season title with an 8-4 record, matching their 4-2 start for the second half of the season. The Empire just finished ahead of Carolina Cobras (9-5) on winning percentage (0.667 to 0.643) with Columbus Lions a close third on 7-5. Carolina had stumbled over the second half of the season, going 3-4 after a 6-1 start. Columbus went 5-2 in the second half to put themselves in Championship contention. Jacksonville Sharks (7-7) also made the playoffs as they went 4-3 in the second half with San Antonio Gunslingers (4-8) and Orlando Predators (3-9) the two teams eliminated from the Playoffs. [References: 1-2]

Playoffs (30 July 2022)

With homefield advantage Albany Empire squeezed by Jacksonville Sharks 68-67 in a high scoring encounter to advance to the NAL Championship Game where they were to meet Carolina Cobras who won 65-51 versus Columbus Lions in a similar high-scoring game at Greensboro, North Carolina.

NAL Championship (13 August 2022)

Albany Empire won the 2022 NAL Championship in blistering fashion, reeling off 41 unanswered points after Carolina Cobras took a 7-6 lead. Albany quarterback Sam Castronova fired six touchdown passes at the appropriately-named MVP Arena in New York State to make the Empire back-to-back NAL Champions. Even though Albany were 47-7 up after three quarters the never-say-die Cobras punched back with a Zack Brown Fumble Recovery in the Endzone and a 38-yard Adam Smith Touchdown catch but time ran out for the Cobras as the Empire prevailed 47-20 thanks to a 3-yard TD run by Castronova less than two minuters into the game; a catch from Aaron Wascha for a 13-7 Albany lead after a 3-yard Kendrick Ings TD pass; Aaron Wascha scored a second TD catch and another TD pass from Castronova as well as a 10-yard Darius Prince TD put Albany 34-7 ahead. Two more TD passes by Castronova for Albany put the game beyond doubt: to Marquel Wade a lineman Cornelius Lewis to give the Empire an unassailable 47-7 lead at the end of the third quarter.

2022 National Arena League Preview

After a reduced schedule of 8 games in 2021 due to Covid-19 concerns, the National Arena League has scheduled a full 14-week schedule with each team playing 12 games for 2022. Jersey Flight have left the league after finishing 2-6 in 2021 and have been replaced by San Antonio Gunslingers, giving the NAL a footprint in Texas. Albany Empire shall be defending the title they won in 2021 with a 7-1 record and two 2-Touchdown victories in the playoffs: 79-62 versus Columbus Lions in the Championship Game after a 55-41 defeat of Carolina Cobras in the Semi-Finals. With four of the six teams playing in the postseason playoffs, each team shall fancy their chances of making it beyond the regular season, with San Antonio and Jacksonville Sharks (2-6 in 2021) targetting the playoff places won by Orlando Predators (4-4 in 2021) and Carolina Cobras (3-5 in 2021). Columbus Lions (6-2 in 2021) and Albany Empire should be favourites to reach the playoffs again.

ABOUT THE NAL

The National Arena Football is a AAA (Third Level) American Football League based primarily in the Northeastern & Southern States of the USA. It is one of 2 AAA Arena Indoor Football Leagues in the USA, the other being the Indoor Football League (Midwest and West).

ABOUT ARENA / INDOOR FOOTBALL

Indoor (also known as Arena) Football plays an 8 v 8 version of American Football on a converted Ice Hockey Rink 50-yards long with 2 10 -yard endzones. Teams have 5 downs (attempts) to score or the ball is turned over – 3 of which must be passing plays. It is therefore a higher scoring game than standard 11 v 11 American Football. The main difference between Arena Football and Indoor Football is that there is no rebound net either side of the goalposts in Indoor Football. Arena Football rules allow the ball stay in play when it comas back off the rebound nets.

With three new teams debuting in the first LFA season since COVID shut down the 2020 season after five games, there was a lot of uncertainty in week 1 of the Liga de Futbol Americano in Mexico. Two of those new teams: Galgos Tijuana (Tijuana Greyhounds) and Gallos Negros (Black Cockerels) Queretaro met in Tijuana, with Gallos Negros coming out convincing winners, 33-9. The other expansion team, Reyes Jalisco (Jalisco Kings) were at home in Guadalajara to Raptors EdoMex, but came out on the losing side 10-13.

LFA Playoffs Preview

The First Round of Playoffs pits #3 Mexicas CDMX (4-2) at home to #6 Gallos Negros Queretaro (1-5) and #4 Raptors EdoMex (4-2) at home to #5 Reyes Jalisco (3-3). The first match looked like it should be a formality earlier in the season for Mexicas, who defeated the much improved Gallos Negros 16-11 in Week 6 at home in Estadio “Pallillo”, but with the three expansion teams improving each week it is no longer a certainty they shall win. Likewise Raptors EdoMex, who defeated Reyes Jalisco, another expansion team, 13-10 at Gualajara in Week 1, cannot count on victory in the second game, with Reyes Jalisco becoming the first expansion team to defeat a pre-covid team in the last week of the season when they shocked Fundidores 35-24. The winners shall meet either #1 Dinos Saltillo (5-1) or #2 Fundidores (4-2) in the Semi-Finals with the winners of those games meeting on 21 May in Estadio Caliente to decide Tazon Mexico V (Mexico Bowl V) Champions. [References: 1-1b]

Playoffs Round 1

Raptors EdoMex won through to another Semi-Final with a 26-6 defeat of Reyes Jalisco while Gallos Negros Queretaro continued to improve with a 14-7 win at Mexicas CDMX. [References: 1-1b]

Semi-Finals

Gallos Negros Queretaro reached the Tazon Mexico (Mexico Bowl) in the debut season, after a close 27-20 victory over Dinos Saltillo in the Semi-Finals. Fundidores Nuevo Leon won the right to play them in Tazon Mexico V with a 30-27 defeat of Raptors EdoMex. [References: 1-1b]

Tazon Mexico V (Mexico Bowl V)

Marcelo González opened the scoring for Fundidores Monterrey with an 11 yard run in the first quarter for a 6-0 lead (the Point After Touchdown was missed). Jason Smith recovered a fumble for a touchdown in the second quarter and with Alberto Gonzalez kicking the PAT Queretaro Black Roosters were leading 7-6 before the Smelters recovered the lead through a Field Goal to leave Monterrey 9-7 up at Halftime.

In the third quarter the Black Roosters’ Quarterback Marco Garcia sneaked into the endzone to make it 14-9 to Queretaro after another successful PAT. Monterrey again took the lead when Brandon Calzoncit ran in for a TD, but again the PAT was missed to leave Monterrey 15-14 up. Fundidores sealed the victory and their first ever Mexico Bowl with a Field Goal in the fourth quarter to leave the Final score Fundidores Monterrey 18 Gallos Negros Queretaro 14. [References: 2]

Preview

The 2022 Liga de Futbol Americano (Mexico) kicks off its sixth season. First played in 2016 between four teams (Condors CDMX, Eagles CDMX, Mayas CDMX and Raptors EdoMex) with all four teams playing in a single Arena in Mexico City (CDMX – Ciudad de Mexico) [6, 9], the league has grown to a 10 team league in 2022 with the addidion of Reyes Jalisco (Jalisco State Kings) in Guadalajara and Galgos Tijuana (Tijuana Greyhounds) from Estado Baja California (Baja California State) [1] .

All four original teams have since moved or changed name, with Mayas currently playing in Puebla State, Condors moving for 2022 to Queretaro, Eagles changing their name to Mexicas in 2017 and Raptors EdoMex (Estado de Mexico – Mexico State), moving to Naucalpan in Estado de Mexico, where the Irish Institute is based. Mayas CDMX won Mexico Bowl I in 2016 and in 2017 there was the addition of Dinos Saltillo and Fundidores Monterrey (Monterrey Smelters) in Nuevo Leon, in the North near Texas. That year the league was again won by the Mayas [2,3].

In 2018 the league was won by Mexicas CDMX, one of two teams named after Native Mexican inhabitants (the other is the Mayas) [4,5]. 2019 saw the addition of yet two more teams: Artilleros Puebla (Puebla Gunners) and Osos Toluca (Toluca Bears), bringing the total to 8 teams. Condors CDMX won the Mexico Bowl (Tazon Mexico) and the Raptors EdoMex were beaten finalists for the third time in four years (Dinos Saltillo lost the Mexico Bowl in 2017) [7, 8]. 2020 was a difficult year, with the start of the covid pandemic, and despite the addition of a ninth team, Pioneros Queretaro, the league remained at 8 for the season due to Mayas sitting out.

The 2020 league was cancelled after 5 of 8 regular season weeks due to the pandemic [10,11] and in 2021 the Artilleros dropped down to the Futbol Americano de Mexico (FAM) League with the Mayas returning. The 2021 season, however, was cancelled in its entirety [12, 13] and for the 2022 season, despite the addition of the Galgos Tijuana and Reyes Jalisco, there shall be only seven teams playing, as Pioneros Queretaro drop back down to the Futbol Americano de Mexico (FAM) league and Artilleros Puebla, Osos Toluca and Mayas take a years break.

The 2022 season shall start on March 5th and there shall be seven rounds with each team playing six regular season games. Teams ranked 1 and 2 shall receive a bye to the Semi-Finals and the 3rd to 6th placed teams play in the Quarter-Finals, which begin on April 30th. Only one team shall not make the Playoffs with the Tazon Mexico V (Mexico Bowl V) being scheduled for May 15th. It remains to be seen whether the LFA shall play at all in 2022 having cancelled the last year and a half and with three teams sitting out the year [1].

Tadhg Leader Irish-born Professional American Football Player 2021

Tadhg Leader Biography

Born: Galway, Ireland

Metrics: Height: 6’02”. Weight: 205 lbs.

College: International (Ireland); Lindenwood University (USA).

Professional Career: Connacht Rugby (Pro 12 Rugby); New England Free Jacks (Major League Rugby, 2019); Aviators (The Spring League 2021); Panthers Wroclaw (European League of Football 2021)

Position: Kicker.

Biography:

Former Connacht Rugby player Tadhg Leader was born in Galway, Ireland. At the age of 15 he and his brother Darragh headed out to kick some Rugby balls at their local pitch on Christmas Day. His dad, a former Galwegians RFC Rugby player made a bet with them that they could not kick the ball over the bars from the halfway line. Both Tadhg and his brother Darragh won €50 each.

Tadhg went on to play Rugby Professionally for Connacht and Darragh now lives in USA where he coaches at Clemson University Tigers. Tadhg suffered a number of injuries during his last few years at Connacht and after playing in Italy he ended up studying in USA and playing for both New England Free Jacks in Major League Rugby and making his Test debut for USA Eagles Rugby Union National Team.

Tadhg was signed up to play another year of Rugby Union in 2021 when the kicker started kicking American Footballs for fun. People took notice and said he should try out for American Football teams and so he went off to San Diego where he was kicking alongside Super Bowl-winning athletes. Unsure of his own ability he asked John Carney, who has 23 years of experience kicking Footballs and Carney said he could mix it with the NFL players.

Before long Leader found himself playing for the Aviators in The Spring League in USA. The Aviatiors, one of four teams based in Indianapolis, a COVID-19 Pod and one of two Pods in the 8-team league in 2021 finished with an 0-6 record in 2021. On May 7 versus Alphas Tadhg Leader scored the first points of his American Football career kicking a Field Goal to make the score Aviators 3 Alphas 7 at Halftime.

After spending Spring in Indianapolis with the Aviators Tadhg signed for Panthers Wroclaw in the European League of Football, making his debut on August 1 in a 31-33 loss at Cologne Centurions. Tadhg scored a 35-yard Field Goal in that game to make the score 16-7 [References: 7-8] On August 22 he kicked a 52-yard Field Goal, his personal highlight in a 30-24 victory at Hamburg Sea Devils [References: 9-10]. The Hamburg game was his fourth of the ELF season [References: 11]. Panthers Wroclaw finished the season with three straight wins to finish on 6-4 and reached the Playoffs where they lost to Hamburg Sea Devils 27-30.

Recap

The first Czech American Football Association (CAAF) season was in 1994, not long after independence from the Soviets. Four teams entered: Prague Panthers, Brno Alligators, Prague Lions and Ostrava Cobras. Prague Panthers finished the season 6-0 claiming the CAAF Championship with an astounding 145-9 triumph over Prague Lions in the first Czech Bowl.

The Prague Panthers are the oldest team in the Czech Republic and had previously played in the Austrian Football League before becoming founding members of the ČAAF Česká asociace amerického fotbalu. They got better as the season progressed, winning by bigger and bigger margins as the weeks went by. Brno Alligators and Prague Lions tied for second place on 3-3 records, and it is not known if a Semi-Final was played before the Prague Lions defeat in the Czech Bowl. Ostrava Cobras finished last on 0-6 and were replaced for the 1995 season by a new Ostrava team, the Ostrava Eagles for 1995. All three of the other teams continued to play in 1995.

Report

Professional Gridiron Teams have used a variety of team names since the Watertown Red and Black appeared in the World Series of Professional Football (1902-1903). Watertown are still in existence, but the New Jersey teams choice of a color name is rare in Professional Football – only the Cleveland Browns (NFL) and Ottawa REDBLACKS (CFL) employ such names other than Watertown.

By far the most popular names are Animals and Humans. Animals were employed first in the NFL (National Football League, USA) by Chicago Cardinals in 1920, and subsequently by teams such as the Chicago Bears, Philadelphia Eagles, Los Angeles Rams and others down to the present day where the newest Professional Franchise, Galgos Tijuana of the Liga Football Americano (Mexico), which translates as Greyhounds.

Human names for teams have been employed since the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian football League made an appearance in 1873. The Green Bay Packers were sponsored by the ACME Packing company in Wisconsin in 1919 (they joined the NFL in 1921). Popular variations on warfaring people (Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Las Vegas Raiders) have appeared since along with working-class jobs (Houston Oilers, Pittsburgh Steelers) and names for Native (Indigenous) people (Washington Redskins, Edmonton Eskimos, Mexicas CDMX, Mayas).

Less popular so far are Mechanical names, such as the names of vehicles (Winnipeg Blue Bombers, New York Jets, Atlantic Schooners) and the Computer at the Headquarters of IBM: Big Blue. Also less popular so far are Geographical names and the names and the names of Natural Phenomena. so far we have Los Angeles Chargers, Berlin Thunder, Frankfurt Galaxy, Stuttgart Surge, Rhein Fire, Fujitsu Frontiers and Nojima Sagamihara Rise (Suunrise). Then there are Creative Names (Panasonic Impulse and Elecom Kobe Finies) and the Names of Cryptozoological Creatues or Gods whose existence evidence has not been found yet: Barcelona Dragons, Hamburg Sea Devils and Tokyo Gas Creators.

Recap

The inaugural Association Marocaine de Football Américain 9-man Moroccan Football League took place in 2019. The first ever Full-contact, helmets-and-pads league in Morocco consisted of two conferences: North and South of three teams each.

While Week 3 was postponed until after Ramadan, and may not have taken place at all, there is mention on Agadir White Sharks Facebook page on March 7th 2021 of them being Champions a week after announcing they were back. Another postponed match between Black Mambas and Rabat Lions appears to have been rescheduled for February 18th 2021. The intervening Covid-19 restrictions appear to have stopped all Football in 2020 in Morocco like almost everywhere else.

As it is known, Agadir White Sharks were leading the South Conference having defeated Marrakech Spartiates, while the Casablanca Stars were also on 1-0 having also defeated Marrakech Spartiates. In the North Conference Salè Black Mambas stood on 1-0, Salè Jaguars on 1-1 and Rabat Lions on 0-1
