Match Reports 2007

Week 1 – 25 March 2007 – Dublin Rebels 8 DCU Saints 0

A defensive battle opened the season for these two IAFL Central Dublin rivals. Both teamsfought tirelessly to shut down the oppositions offense, with the secondaries having a terrific game. Saints Defensive Backs Willie Coyne, Scott Quigly and Bobby Blankenship put in top performances, as did their counterparts on the Rebels, Steve Archibald, and Marcus Naylor. Saints linebackers Carl Rushe, Thomas O’Regan, Austan Ragans and Joe Carlyle put constant pressure on the Rebels offense, and this coupled the the DB’s effort resulted in Linemen Cathal O’Callaghan, Neil Callanan and Kris Konieczny overwhelming the Rebels Offensive line. alllowing Konieczny to get the Saints first sack of the season on the Rebels satr Quarterback Andy Dennehy.

The Rebels scored the only score of the match when Andy Dennehy connected with Wide Receiver Mike Kresowaty on a 13-yard Touchdown Pass in the first quarter, which was converted by Tight End Henry Wassermann, on a pass from Dennehy for the two points. [Ref: 4]

Week 3 – 14 April 2007 – DCU Saints 0 Dublin Dragons 6

This game was a defensive battle, with the lone score coming on a breakaway score in the second quarter. The Saints, however, managed to block the Dragons PAT (Point After Touchdown) attempt.Throughout the game both sides managed to force the oppositions offense to punt on fourth down. [Ref: 5]

Week 5 – 29 April 2007 – DCU Saints 20 Carrickfergus Knights 12

The DCU Saints won their first game of the year against the Knights to keep them in the leadership battle for the IAFL Central title. [Ref: 5]

Week 6 – 6 May 2007 – DCU Saints 0 Dublin Rebels 46

The DCU saints defense put up a good fight, with two interceptions, and the offense also fought gallantly, but it wasn’t enough as the Rebels ran out comfortable 46-0 winners, leaving the DCU Saints in second place in the Division. [Ref: 5]

Week 8 – 4 June 2007 – DCU Saints 2 University of Limerick Vikings 50

This was a resceduled game from Week 1, and was played in terrible condtions with an understrength DCU squad. The Vikings moved effectively on Offense to move downfield to score many times, and provided significant coverage on Defense to stifle the DCU Offense. Willie Coyne scored the DCU Saints only 2 points with an intercepted Vikings conversion attempt. [Ref: 6]

Week 9 – 11 June 2007 – Cork Admirals 64 DCU Saints 0

The DCU Saints ere overwhelmed in Cork against the Adirals who had over twice the numbers of another understrength DCU squad. A lot of the Saints players played Ironmen – playing both ways – and in extremely hot weather against a very strong Admirals team, were not able to put points on the board. [Ref: 6]

Week 10 – 17 June 2007 – Belfast Bulls 30 DCU Saints 0 #

The DCU saints forfeited this game to the Belfast Bulls, as they had a severely understrength team, more so than in the previous two games, and were unable to field a team as a lot of players were either away or involved in exams. [Ref: 6]

Week 11 – 25 June 2007 – 24 June 2007 – Dublin Dragons 0 DCU Saints 12

The Saints again had an understrength team, half the Dragons numbers, with players again playing both ways, but won 12-0 at home to win their second, and final, game of the season, and end on a high note. Willie Coyne put in a great performance returning a punt 70-odd yards for a Touchdown, and Colm Bolger, and Carl Rushe, who played both Quarterback and Linebacker, both also put in notable performances.

Stars Football League Playoffs 2013 [Ref: 17-19]

Report

The 2011 Stars Football League played 6 matches between 4 teams from 3 states [Ref: 5]. There was no Championship Game in the inaugural season, which was wrapped up in front of 1,900 fans at Tad Gormley Stadium, City Park, New Orleans, when the hometown Jazz beat the Michigan Coyotes 21-6. [Ref: 5]

The second Stars Football League season in 2012 featured three teams in Southern Florida, playing a 2-game schedule each, with all three teams making the Playoffs. The Fort Lauderdale Barracudas, taking homefield advantage in the Semi-Final, beat the Ft. Myers Swampdogs 21-10, to advance to the first Stars Football League Championship Game, which was also held in Central Broward Park in Lauderhill, Ft. Lauderdale. [Ref: 6-9]

Having failed to score during the regular season, the Barracudas again put up a much better showing in the President’s Trophy Championship Game, but this time fell short, with the Daytona Beach Swampdogs winning 16-14. [Ref: 9-11]

The Stars Football League expanded to 4 teams for the 2013 season, adding the Miami Ironmen. The Ft. Myers Swampdogs moved to Pompano Beach, also Florida.

The Daytona Beach Racers, defending champions, were unable to repeat, losing all three regular season matches and losing to expansion side Miami Ironmen in the Playoffs. The Swampdogs defeated Ft. Lauderdale Barracudas 12-8 in the other Semi-Final. The Ironmen, who had gone 3-0 during the Regular Season, went all the way, completing a perfect season, winning the President’s Trophy II, 11-6 over Pompano Beach Swampdogs in the Championship Game. [Ref: 13-20]

About

Fujitsu Frontiers (Japan) are ranked Number 1, with the Top 7 teams all being Japnese, New Yorker Lions (Germany) are ranked 8, and Condors CDMX (Mexico) ranked 14. Outside of these countries the Top teams are Swarco Raiders Tirol (Innsbruck, Austria) ranked 9; Koc Rams (Turkey), the Top Ranked West Asian team at 86; Western Crusaders (Australia), ranked 97; Joao Pessoa Espectros (Brazil), the Top Ranked South American team at 107; Samsung Blue Storm (South Korea), the Top Ranked non-Japanese East Asian team at 177; and GUC Eagles (Egypt), the Top Ranked African team at 221.

Major League Football Trademarked Team Names [Ref: 1]

About

Major League Football was a Publicly-Traded American Football League that intended to begin play in Spring 2020 with six unannounced teams. It announced the completion of purchase of former Alliance of American Football (AAF) equipment – a AAA (2nd Level) American Football League that played one season in 2019. It also trademarked 10 team names, which presumably would have been arranged in two Conferences – East and West – as seen above. [Ref: 1-3]

IAFL Senior Team 2013-2019

Home Ground: RSC Waterford City.

Colours: Blue and Silver

Honours: IAFL 1 Bowl Champions 2015 (beat Cork Admirals 13-12 in Final)

Career Record (W-L-T): Total: / Regular Season / Post-Season: 17-25-0 / 15-25-0 / 2-0-0

History: Waterford Wolves were formed in 2012 and played their first matches in DV8s tournaments towards the end of the year. The following year they entered the full 11v11 Irish American Football League where they had a topsy-turvey history. They came joint first in the 1 Conference in their inaugural season, losuing to the North Kildare Reapers in their last match which handed the title to the Reapers on head-to-head. In 2015 they were promoted to the Shamrock Bowl Conference where they found life difficult, losing all their matches.

Back in the 1 Conference for 2016, they again finished in the top three, reaching the playoffs, where they beat the Cork Admirals, fierce Munster rivals, for the first time in three matches that season, in the 1 Bowl. They declined promotion, and in 2016 won only three of their eight matches. They spent two years out of the league in 2017 and 2018, returning in 2019 to the 1 Conference, but it was too high a level to return to competitive football after two years out, and they lost four of their five matches heavily, before forfeiting their remaining three.
