Report

After a number of seasons as a Northern and Southern Junior Two-Touch League, the Junior Gridiron League became a National Flag Footbal League in 1995 with two sections: Youth (9-15 year olds) and Junior (14-18 year olds). This followed from the successful introduction of Flag Football to the JGL Junior League in 1994.

The Junior Flag Football League was won by the Doncaster Wildcats, who shocked the Brighton B-52s in the National JGL Bowl 20-0. The B-52s managed to shut out the Wildcats in a spirited second-half display, but the damage was done in the first half, when Doncaster scored three touchdowns without reply.

Doncaster ran in a 42 yard TD to open the scoring in the first quarter, and then added two converted touchdowns to lead 20-0 at the half, which was how it stayed until the end of the game.

Report

The first American Football Ireland Official Madden Championship (Computer Console Game) started in 2020, providing American Football in response to the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. There are two Championships: a Playstation 4 and Xbox One Championship, each single elimination with 64 players entering each, who must be registered members of AFI clubs.

Maynooth University Hurricanes (4-0), South Dublin Panthers (3-0), Trinity College Dublin (2-0), West Dublin Rhinos (2-0) and NI Razorbacks (1-0) all had 100% records after Round 1.

After Round 2, Trinity College Dublin (4-0) were the only team with a perfect record, and along with South Dublin Panthers (5-1), Cork Admirals (4-1), MU Hurricanes (6-2), and Belfast Trojans and Donegal / Derry Vipers (both 4-2) the only teams with two players left.

The Quarter-Final match-ups left no team with more than one player left: Trinity College Dublin, South Dublin Panthers, Cork Admirals, MU Hurricanes, Belfast Trojans, Donegal/Derry Vipers, Belfast Knights and Downpatrick Saints all winning through to the Semi-Finals.

Jonathan Hedley of the Belfast Knights and Jahn Dasini of the Cork Admirals progressed to the Final of the PS4 Championship, with Jonathan Hedley prevailing 38-35. In the XBox Final, Darren Quinn of the Donegal/Derry Vipers triumphed James Smyth of the South Dublin Panthers 35-24 to make it an Ulster double in the first ever AFI Madden Championship.
