Report

The 22nd Shamrock Bowl was won by the University of Limerick Vikings, who beat the Dublin Rebels 14-12 in a close game in CIT Stadium in Cork. Both sides had gone through the season 7-1, winning their respective divisions, and then beat tough opposition in the Semi-Finals – the Vikings beat the IAFL North Champions Belfast Trojans by surprisingly large score, 42-8, and the Rebels had a much harder time against the Wild-Card Playoff winners, Cork Admirals, winning 19-12. Dublin City University Saints were the other Wild-Card Playoff qualifiers.

Team Changes and League Structure and Organisation

The 2008 Irish American Football League was the 22nd year of the League, and the 8th under the Irish American Football Association organisation since it restarted in 2001. The League featured nine teams divided into 3 divisions of three, IAFL North, Central and South, with the three division winners qualifying for the Semi-Finals, and the two best runners-up qualifying for the Wild-Card Playoff to determine the fourth Semi-Finalist.

A new League, the DV8 Development League, an 8-v-8 League, was set up as a second level, in order to help new teams grow and develop their players before joining the IAFL. Dublin Dragons dropped down to this League for 2008, but they were replaced by new team, the Dublin Rhinos, based in Castleknock College, just West of the City Centre, meaning the League stayed at nine teams for 2008. With the 6-team DV8 Development League it meant a total of 14 teams playing in the Irish American Football League, an all-time record, beating the previous record of 11 in the second-ever season in 1987.

Shamrock Bowl XXI Box-Score and Match Report

Shamrock Bowl XXI Logo [Ref: 3]

29 July 2007 – University of Limerick Vikings 22 Cork Admirals 14

Seamus Hogan, who scored two touchdowns, won the Most Valuable Player Award in the Irish American Football League Shamrock Bowl XXI in 2007, as the University of Limerick Vikings beat the Cork Admirals 22-14 in a close Munster Derby.

Cork had a great start with kick returner David Barry returned the opening kickoff well into Limerick territory. They were stopped short of the goal-line, however, as were the Vikings on the next drive. On their next possession the Cork Admirals got into good field position following a 40 yard draw play by full back Alain Pezeron, leaving them on first and goal on the 3 yard line, which Keith O’Callaghan capitalized on with a 3-yard rushing touchdown for the first score of the game. Pezeron converted for two points.

The vikings got back into the game immediately, with Quarterback Chris Bassitt driving them downfield, helped by Running Backs Andrew Gordan and Seamus Hogan. Hogan got the equalizing touchdown, with a 5-yard run up the middle, converted for two points by Bassitt. The second quarter was scoreless as both defenses held the opposing offense, with good defensive plays by Vikings defenders Eoin O’Sullivan, Declan O’Donnell, Damien Laffan and Alan O’Carroll. The Admirals defensive line of Marcus Gates, Ross McCullough and Barry Rea forced a number of tackles for losses. The Vikings got the first turnover of the day with less than 5 minutes to go to halftime, when their defensive back intercepted the ball, however, they missed the resulting field goal, leaving the score 8-8 at half-time.

The first play from scrimmage of the second half yielded the second turnover of the day, as Admirals linebacker Martin Mulvey recovered a Vikings fumble to leave them in good field position on the Vikings 20-yard line. Shortly afterwards, the Admirals went 14-8 up as Quarterback David Lomansey connected with Wide Receiver Dominic MacHale for a 30-yard touchdown pass. Limerick then drove deep into Admirals territory, but a fierce goalmouth stand for the Cork side on their own 5-yard line prevented the Vikings from scoring. The Vikings defense, however, ensured their offense got another chance before the quarter was out, as they forced the Admirals to punt, giving the UL offense the ball at midfield. Through runs by Bassitt and Gordon they got to the 10-yard line, where Seamus Hogan scored his second running touchdown, on a draw play up the middle, pushing the ball over the goal-line as the Admirals defenders attempted to tackle him. The Single Point Kick conversion put the Vikings 15-14 up at the end of the third quarter.

Again the Vikings defense forced the Admirals to punt early in the fourth quarter, and in the ensuing drive, the Vikings went to the air with a long pass from Quarterback Bassitt to Wide Receiver Marc Ashworth, setting up MVP Seamus Hogan for his third touchdown of the day, as a he scored on a 5-yard sweep to the right. again the conversion kick was good to put the Vikings 22-14 up. The game was not over yet, however, and the Admirals drove to the Vikings two-yard line on the next drive. In the best defensive performance of the day, the Vikings held, the Admirals on all four downs, and the Vikings punted on their next possession having failed to run out the clock. The punt pinned the Cork side deep in their own territory, and while they picked up a couple of first downs, were stopped on fourth down with less than 30 seconds left. The Vikings could then celebrate their first ever Shamrock Bowl win. [Ref: 4]

Report

The 2007 Irish American Football League season featured 9 teams, with the addition of the Belfast Trojans, who had split from the Belfast Bulls. Tallaght Outlaws replaced North Dublin Marshals. Teams were divided into three divisions – North, Central & South.

The North Division was a close affair, with the Bulls edging it on a 4-3-1 record, half a game ahead of the Trojans on 3-3-2, who were also half a game ahead of Carrickfergus Knights on 3-4-1.

The Central Division had a clear winner in the Dublin Rebels, who finished on 6-2, well ahead of the Dublin Dragons on 2-6 and the DCU Saints.

The South Division was also close, with UL Vikings finishing with best regular-season record in the league, 7-1, just ahead of Cork Admirals on 6-2. Tallaght Outlaws were placed in this Division, which meant long trips down to Munster for them, and in their inaugural season, they were no match for the more established teams, going 0-8.

The Wild-Card Playoff saw Cork Admirals win 30-0 against the Trojans, and then in the Semi_finals, they shocked the Dublin Rebels 8-6. The other Semi-Final saw UL Vikings trounce Belfast Bulls 44-2 to set up the first All-Munster Final, which the Vikings won 22-14, their first ever Shamrock Bowl victory.

Report

Shamrock Bowl XX 2006 – Dublin Rebels (Black) 44 University of Limerick Vikings (Blue) 12 [Reference: 5]

The 2006 Irish American Football League season featured 8 teams, an increase of two on the previous seson with the addition of the North Dublin Marshals and DCU Saints – the most since the first full season in 1987.

Dublin Rebels showed why they were the top Irish side, going through the season undefeated, winning both their Semi-Final and Shamrock Bowl by a wide margin. Second place in the League was a tussle between the Carrickfergus Knights, who finished 6-2 and UL Vikings, finishing on 5-2-1, and when these two sides met in the Semi_Finals, it was UL who came out on top in a close encounter, winning 30-25. They were no match for the Rebels, however, losing 44-12 in the Shamrock Bowl.

The fourth playoff spot went to Cork Admirals, on a 4-3-1 record, but despite putting up a great offensive display in the Semi-Finals against the Dublin Rebels, their defense had no answer to the Rebels firepower, as they went down 58-22.

The bottom half of the table saw the Dublin Dragons and Belfast Trojans finish on .375, with the Dragons scoring an unusual two ties. The DCU Saints and North Dublin Marshals managed one win each in their inaugural seasons.

The story of the year, however, was undoubtedly the Rebels fine display all season, with no team proving a match for them on the field, and their 32-point margin of victory in the Shamrock Bowl was the fourth-highest ever, after the lop-sided Carrickfergus win over UL Vikings in 2002 (66-0) and two 40+ point victories for the Dublin Celts in the early 1990s.

Report

The 2005 IAFL season featured the same 6 teams as in 2004.

The Belfast Bulls showed how far they had come in such a short time, going 7-1 to claim the league title, ahead of the Dublin Rebels & Carrickfergus Knights on 5-2-1. Joining them in the playoffs were the Cork Admirals, who finished ahead of the much improved UL Vikings on tie-breaker after both teams had finished 3-5. Dublin Dragons propped up the table, losing all 8 matches.

Belfast Bulls won through to the Shamrock Bowl with a relatively easy win over the Cork Admirals, while the other Semi_Final was a thriller yet again between the Carrickfergus Knights and Dublin Rebels, with the Rebels winning 26-20.

The Shamrock Bowl itself was to prove a case of experience over youth, with the Rebels coming out on top 26-19 in another thriller against the Belfast Bulls.
