Report

South Auckland Raiders won their fourth Kiwi Bowl in five years in 2000, defeating the expansion side Tamaki Lightning from Howick, 24-8 to become Auckland Premier Gridiron League Champions for 1999-2000.

The Raiders were undisputed Champions having captured the Minot title (Regular Season) with a perfect 9-0 record. The Lightning had finished 4-3-2 (Wins-Losses-Ties) in second place.

American Tim Hughley passed to Terry Millani for a 20 yard TD reception to open the scoring, game MVP Kevin Palagi adding to it with a 5 yard bulldozing run for a touchdown. That left the halftime score 12-0.

In the second half the Raiders suffered a massive blow when Hughley blew both knees on a failed endzone pass attempt. Undeterred the Raiders added a third TD, a 1 yard run from John Tavae.

The fourth Quarter saw the Lightning finally manage to move the ball downfield, and were rewarded with an exceptional 12 yard TD catch by Richard Carter. Alex Lineham ran in the two-point conversion. The match was put out of sight, however, by Solomona Tafai who ran in a15 yard TD with 5 minutes left, leaving the Final score in Kiwi Bowl XVIII 24-8 to the South Auckland Raiders.

Report

The Brighton Outlaws won their third straight Vic Bowl for the Victorian Gridiron Football League title in 1988, triumphing 20-17 in a closely fought encounter with the Melbourne Hornets. Melbourne led 17-6 at half time, through touchdowns from Running Backs Peter Dionysion and George Makis, but the Outlaws hit back through a TD from Bruce Ayles.

The turning point in the game came in the last 30 seconds as Dionysion fumbled the ball and the Outlaws recovered on the Hornets 25 yard line. On a 4th-and-10 with 11 seconds left Outlaws QB Jim Borta found Treye Jackson for the winning score.

In the 1989 Vic Bowl the Peninsular Sweathogs came into the game as odds on favourites, but five timely interceptions by the Doncaster Devils defense kept them in the game in the first half in front of 1,500 fans. The Sweathogs had 18 first downs in the third quarter to the Devils 7, but just as it seemed the Devils were about to give up, QB Peter Busch, scrambled for a 56 yard touchdown on a broken play in a third-and-five at their own 44 yard line.

Gerard Hoskins levelled matters for the Sweathogs on a short-yard run and the Sweathogs forced a safety on the next series, but on another broken play – the Devils designated Offensive player did not work all day – Busch broke out again for a 64-yard rushing TD. The Extra-Point was kicked and the Devils were Vic Bowl V Champions. Gerard Hoskins won the game MVP Award, for his rushing, six receptions and numerous kick returns.

Report

Hutt Valley Spartans became back-to-back Wellington Champions in 2019, after winning the Capital Bowl 20-14 in triple overtime. In the first period of overtime neither side reached the endzone, and then in the second period both the Spartans and Wellington Wolves managed to do so, which left a third period necessary.

After a massive redline stand (right in front of their own endzone) the Spartans managed to catch the Wolves offside, giving them a free play from 15 yards out. a pitch out out right to their running back with some great blocking sawthem walk it into the endzone for the winning touchdown.

Three teams had entered the American Football Wellington season, with the Wolves finishing out on top, the Hutt Valley Spartans in second on 3-3 (wins-Losses) and Portirua Warriors in third.

Report

Bondi raiders won Gridiron News South Wales’ Waratah Bowl V in 1989, by a single point over Sydney Uni Lions. The Sydney Uni Lions looked like they had it in the bag with less than 90 seconds on the clock, but a series of errors deep in their own territory cost them the game.

The Lions had to start from their own seven yard line after receiving a punt, and then QB Eric Carrier was sacked on his own four yard line. On third down they went for a long pass which was sensationally intercepted by Free Safety Joe Desmid, giving the Raiders a last shot.

Back-Up QB for the Raiders, James Hayes, hit sent a 36-yard pass to flanker Harry Pavlidia, and then a draw play gained them another seven yards to the Lions’ eight yard line. Again QB Hayes found his man, Harry Pavlidia, who slipped into the endzone. Powers kicked the extra point which proved to be the difference between the teams, but it was the strange decision to go long earlier which cost the Lions.

The first quarter had been scoreless, and in the second Lions QB Carrier found Tom Boardman for a 75 yard TD reception. Another long punt by Powers had the Lions on their 3 yard line, and on a QB sneak Roy Herman stripped the Lions QB of the ball giving them possession on the 5 yard line. With 30 seconds to go in the half Rookie Brett Mason scored on a counter play, and with the kick good, both teams were level on 7-7 at the half.

In the third quarter there was no scoring, but in the fourth the Lions QB pitched out to John Kirby in the backfield on a third-and-nine. Carrier then swung out left and Kirby sent him the ball back and in he went for the score. The Raiders were stunned, but managed to regain composure and block the score. This set the scene for the crazy scenes at the end of the game. [Ref: 7]

Gridiron New South Wales is one of seven State or Territory American Football Leagues (known as Gridiron in Australia to avoid confusion with their own AFL) in Australia and has been running since 1985.

Gridiron NSW had 10 teams in its Mens Competition in 2018, with UNSW Raiders and Sydney Uni Lions meeting in the Grand Final. For 2019 the Mens Competition dropped to 8 teams as the Central Coast Sharks and Newcastle Kings dropped out.
