About

The Pacific Coast Pro Football League flourished during the Second World War as Soldiers based in California led to a boom in the game on the West Coast. Initially the League was vehicle for the Los Angeles Bulldogs and Hollywood Bears who won the first two titles and most games played involved one or other of these teams.

From 1942-1945 the League expanded and could be considered the Major League rival to the NFL during these years. The 1942 & 1943 title were won by the San Diego Bombers. In 1944 the Bombers won the League again and played the Hollywood Rangers, the winners of another League to call itself the AFL for the Pacific Championship. This AFL was the first truly Pacific Coast League as it included teams in Seatlle & Portland, and the Rangers won both legs of the Pacific Championship.

The AFL disbanded after one season and the 1945 PCPFL Championship was won by the Hollywood Bears. After the war the NFL’s Cleveland Rams relocated to Los Angeles, and the All-America Football Conference put the San Francisco 49ers (later to join the NFL) on the West Coast, and the PCPFL’s Major League status was gone.

The League soldiered on as a Minor League, adding teams in Tacoma, Hawaii, Salt Lake City and Sacramento, but was no longer important in the eyes of people on the West Coast and folded after the 1948 season. The Los Angeles Bulldogs and Hawaiian Warriors won the title during these these years.

Report

The Dublin Tornadoes and Labatt (Belfast) Spartans both defeted newcomers Antrim Bulldogs in Festival matches in 1988. the Festivals could have been a way for the Irish American Football League teams to try out new players and for the newer teams such as Antrim Bulldogs in 1988 to gain experience before joining the League proper.

Drogheda Vikings 0 Belfast Spartans 7 – A more experience Belfast Spartans took the honours in a Pre-Season game with newcomers the Drogheda Vikings. The game was closer than many had predicted with Belfast scoring early on a John Melville Touchdown, but good spoiling play by the Vikings meant two Field Goal attempts later on were no good for the Spartans.

Week 2 –  26 April 1992 – Trinity Bowl

Dublin Tornadoes 3 Antrim Bulldogs 0 – The Dublin Tornadoes snatched victory in the first ever American Football match played at Ireland’s hallowed Trinity College. They won with a Field Goal from Tony Fox in the last five seconds after Tony Degonia came on and started a move which pushed the Bulldogs back to their 10 yard line. Despite the low score it was an all action packed match, with both offenses moving the ball upfield and only tight defense preventing any break-through. This was a new-look Tornadoes with linebacker at the top of their game and Mark Nicholls, their Running-Back playing a superb game.
