Report

Belfast Blitzers tore through the Irish American Football League in 1987, scoring 333 points to 0 in their first six games including a 92-0 victory over the East Side Jets on opening day. In their seventh game the Belfast Tennents Giants finally put some points on the board against the Blitzers with a fourth quarter Field Goal, but the Blitzers still ran out 38-3 winners.

They lost their next game to deadly rivals the Dublin Celts 14-26, but wrapped up the Mourne Conference title with two wins against Dublin Tornadoes and Carrickfergus Cougars. A shock loss to the Craigavon Cowboys meant yet again they were not in the Shamrock Bowl despite being one of the two best teams all season.
