League Background

The NDMA Division Two was a new second level created in 1991 by the NDMA breakaway top division in British Gridiron Football, featuring nine of the top teams outside of the NDMA in 1990 that were willing to make the jump from the old second division, the British National Gridiron League, that was now levels three to five.

1991 Season Report

Coventry Jaguars were easy winners of the league, going 10-0 during the regular season, and defeating first the West London Aces 36-26 in the Semi-Finals, and then Cardiff Mets 50-28 in the NDMA Division Two Final.

Relegation, Promotion and Franchise Changes for 1992

The Jaguars were still denied promotion to the top level, however, as the NDMA created a new Super League, featuring 12 of the 17 NDMA Division One teams, with five relegated to NDMA Division Two for 1992 and no promotion.

Three of those relegated were based on on-field performance: Bristol Packers, Solent Warriors and London Ravens, while the Bournemouth Bobcat and Glasgow Lions were both relegated on disciplinary grounds. Bristol Packers and London Ravens disbanded following the season.

Edinburgh Phoenix were the only team promoted from the BNGL National Division (Third Level). Bolton Buccaneers and SMC Admirals both disbanded after the NDMA Division Two 1991 season.

Report

1991 was the eighth season of organised Gridiron Football in Britain featuring British-based teams and British-born players. It was also the second season of the NDMA, and the Coke Bowl, after Budweiser pulled sponsorship for the Budweiser League and Coca-Cola replaced them.

Birmingham Bulls won their third BritBowl, as the Bowl Games were unofficially known, by defeating London Olympians for the second time in four years in the Finale by a single point, 39-38. The Bulls had also previously defeated Glasgow Lions 23-2 in Summer Bowl II (1986) and lost to Manchester Spartans 21-14 in Bud Bowl IV (1989).

For the Olympians it was a heart-breaking fourth loss in four Bowl appearances, having lost twice to the London Ravens (45-7 in Summer Bowl I in 1985 and 20-12 in Bud Bowl I in 1986) as well as the previous 30-6 defeat to the Bulls in Brit Bowl III in 1988.

Defending Champions Manchester Spartans failed to make it three titles in a row as they slumped to a 2-8 record. 1990’s runners-up Northants Storm finished the season 8-2 but lost out in the Semi-Finals by 34-12 to the Olympians.

In all it was a disappointing season despite the close end to the Bowl Game, as a number of long-term top Britball teams disbanded after the season: London Ravens, champions and undefeated 1984 to 1987, folded after a dismal 2-7-1 record by their standards, and Bristol Packers and Bournemouth Bobcat both disbanded leaving no team in top Division in the South West for 1992.

The NDMA created a new Super League for 1992 featuring the top 12 teams from 1991, with another 12 teams making up the second level. For the Olympians, despite defeat again, it was to be the start of a new era of dominance, as the Streatham-based team emerged from the Ravens’ shadow to dominate British Gridiron Football for the next 15 years.

In other games Barcelona Dragons improved dramatically over last season, winning 38-9 at Stuttgart Surge, while Berlin Thunder were no match for Hamburg Sea Devils, losing 18-43 in the German capital. Meanwhile the sole Slavic team in the ELF, Panthers Wroclaw, won 34-27 at home to Leipzig Kings. [References: S-1 and Individual References in Games]

Week 2 (11-12 June 2022)

Panthers Wroclaw sat atop the Northern Division with a 28-25 victory at Stuttgart Surge who fell to 0-2 in the Central Division. Berlin Thunder gained their first win in the Northern Division with a 41-7 defeat of Istanbul Rams, who were left looking for their first win. Hamburg Sea Devils suffered their first loss of the season going down 21-24 to the Barcelona Dragons, who were top of the Southern Division on 2-0 along with Cologne Centurions and Rhein Fire. The Centurions had a narrow 49-46 victory over Raiders Tirol, who were still looking for a first win in the Central Division while Rhein Fire defeated Northern Division cellar dwellers Leipzig Kings 28-17. The Central Division appeared already to be Vienna Vikings to lose after they moved two games ahead of all three other teams with a 30-10 victory over fellow Central Division team, the Frankfurt Galaxy. [References: S-1 and Individual References in Games]

Weeks 3-4 (18-26 June 2022)

By the end of June 2022, Hamburg Sea Devils were sitting on top of the ELF North Division with two more wins in weeks 3 and 4 over Leipzig Kings (14-0) and Panthers Wroclaw (26-23). The Panthers loss to Hamburg was their second consecutive loss after starting the season with two victories. The reverse to the Sea Devils followed a heavy week 3 loss to Frankfurt Galaxy (13-47). Berlin Thunder also lost two in a row in weeks 3 and 4 – 28-16 to Raiders Tirol and 15-19 at Leipzig in what was the Kings first victory of the season following defeats in each of their first three games. [References: S-1]

The Central Division included not just one of only two undefeated teams after week 4 in Vienna Vikings, but also the streaking Frankfurt Galaxy and Raiders Tirol who both won twice on the trot after losing their opening two games. Vienna’s weeks 3 and 4 triumph’s were 42-13 at Stuttgart Surge and 49-0 versus Istanbul Rams. In addition to Frankfurt and Tirol’s earlier mentioned week 3 victories over Wroclaw and Berlin respectively, the teams also won 48-12 versus Cologne Centurions (Frankfurt) and 33-0 versus Stuttgart Surge in Innsbruck (Tirol). Stuttgart meanwhile were still looking to break their duck. [References: S-1]

The Southern Division was led by Barcelona Dragons, also on 4-0 after narrow wins versus Cologne Centurions (34-32) and Rhein Fire (17-13). The losses were both Cologne’s and Rhein’s first of the season after starting 2-0 and 3-0 respectively. Cologne slipped up in their next game also at Frankfurt, while Rhein’s 42-12 week 3 victory over Istanbul Rams set up the mouth-watering week 4 clash with Barcelona in Catalonia. Istanbul Rams, like Stuttgart Surge were still looking for their first win. [References: S-1]

Weeks 5-9 (July 2022)

Hamburg Sea Devils winning streak continued to 6 games as they led the EFL Northern Division on 7-1. Berlin Thunder put together a four-game winning streak to go from 1-3 to 5-3 and increase their chances of making the playoffs behind Hamburg, while Panthers Wroclaw slipped to 3-5 and Leipzig Kings 2-6. [References: S-1]

In the Central Division, Vienna Vikings remained undefeated on 8-0 with a crucial 29-13 victory at home to Austrian rivals Raiders Tirol putting them three games ahead of both the Alpen team and Frankfurt Galaxy who were both on 5-3. Stuttgart Surge were struggling on 0-8 in a Division with three of the toughest teams. [References: S-1]

Barcelona Dragons topped the Southern Division after week 9 on 6-2 and Rhein Fire were in second despite a two-game losing streak. Cologne Centurions were suffering a six-game losing streak after starting the season 2-0 while Istanbul Rams picked up their first ever win, but were still languishing in last place on 1-7. [References: S-1]

Week 11 (13-14 August 2022)

After a break week for the weekend of 6-7 August, there was a major upset when Frankfurt Galaxy (6-3) defeated Vienna Vikings 42-8 in what was the Vikings first loss of the season. Raiders Tirol joined Frankfurt on 6-3 in the toughest Division with a 44-3 victory in Innsbruck over Stuttgart Surge, who were still looking for their first win. [References: S-1]

The Northern Division saw Hamburg Sea Devils (59-0 winners over Leipzig Kings) and Berlin Thunder (29-12 victors over Panthers Wroclaw) continue their winning streaks, now seven games and five games respectively as Panthers and Leipzig were eliminated from the Playoffs. [References: S-1]

In the Southern Division Barcelona Dragons (7-2) and Rhein Fire (5-4) extended their lead over Cologne Centurions (2-7) and Istanbul Rams with 37-15 and 50-32 triumphs respectively. [References: S-1]

Week 12 (20-21 August 2022)

Hamburg Sea Devils (9-1) wrapped up the Northern Conference with a 39-17 victory at home to nearest rivals Berlin Thunder (6-4) while Panthers Wroclaw (4-6) defeated Leipzig Kings (2-8) 41-37 in a close game which meant very little for either team at this stage of the season other than pride. [References: S-1]

The Central Division was still up for grabs after Vienna Vikings (9-1) rebounded from their heavy loss at Frankfurt with a 37-22 victory at Istanbul (1-9). Neasest rivals and fellow Austrian team Raiders Tirol (7-3) stayed on their heels with a 45-20 victory at Cologne Centurions (2-8). [References: S-1]

Meanwhile Barcelona Dragons (8-2) continued to set the pace in the Southern Conference with a 62-8 victory at the winless Stuttgart Surge. Rhein Fire (6-4) were still not out of the running however, with a 23-21 victory at Frankfurt Galaxy (6-4), the latter coming back down to earth after their massive win versus the undefeated Vienna Vikings the previous weekend. [References: S-1]

Week 13 (27-28 August 2022)

Hamburg Sea Devils clinched the Northern Division title with a 17-0 victory at home to Panthers Wroclaw leaving the Sea Devils on 10-1 and the Panthers out of the running on 4-7. Berlin Thunder kept their hopes of a playoff place alive, improving to 7-4 with a 38-14 defeat of Istanbul Rams (1-10) and Leipzig Kings picked up their third win of the season 38-0 at Stuttgart Surge (0-11)

The Central Division title was won by Vienna Vikings (10-1) after they defeated Barcelona Dragons (8-3) 24-18 in a battle of the Central and Southern Division leaders. The Vikings were helped by Frankfurt Galaxy’s narrow 36-33 victory over Raiders Tirol in Central Germany, meaning both teams were now on 7-4 along with Berlin Thunder and Rhein Fire in the race for Playoff places.

In the Southern Division Rhein Fire kept their outside chance of a Division title alive, moving to within a game of Barcelona Dragons after a high-scoring 59-37 triumph in Cologne over the Centurions (2-9).

The race for the Final Playoff spots now moved to the final week with Hamburg Sea Devils traveling to Barcelona to play the Dragons, Berlin Thunder entertaining Raiders Tirol, and Rhein Fire at home to Leipzig Kings. Frankfurt Galaxy play Stuttgart Surge, Vienna Vikings play at Panthers Wroclaw and Cologne Centurions visit Istanbul Rams to wrap-up the 2022 Regular Season. [References: S-1]

Week 14 (3-4 September 2022)

The regular season finished with Northern Division champions Hamburg Sea Devils (11-1) winning 24-21 at Southern Division champions Barcelona Dragons (8-4). Second place in the Northern Division went to Berlin Thunder (7-5) despite their 10-37 loss to Central Division runners-up and wild-card playoff qualifiers Raiders Tirol (8-4). Tirol sneaked into the playoffs on a tie-breaker ahead of Frankfurt Galaxy who also finished on 8-4 after a 37-13 victory in Frankfurt over Stuttgart Surge who lost all 12 games in 2022. Vienna Vikings were Central Division champions even though they were shocked 42-6 by Panthers Wroclaw (5-7) in Poland, only the Vikings second defeat of the season, both of which were heavy defeats away from home in Austria. Leipzig Kings finished the season on 4-8 in the Northern Division after a close 34-31 victory over Rhein Fire (7-5) in Dusseldorf and Cologne Centurions (3-9) won 43-30 at Istanbul Rams (1-11) in a battle of two Southern Division strugglers. The Playoff qualifiers then were Hamburg Sea Devils (11-1, Northern Champions), Vienna Vikings (10-2, Central Champions), Barcelona Dragons (8-4, Southern Champions) and Raiders Tirol (8-4, Wildcard qualifiers). [References: S-1]

Playoffs (10-11 September 2022)

Vienna Vikings overcame their set-back in the final week of regular season play to shutout the Barcelona Dragons 19-0 to advance to the European League of Football’s second Championship Game. There the Vikings were to meet Hamburg Sea Devils who won 19-7 versus Raiders Tirol thus preventing an All-Austrian showdown. The two teams have yet to meet in 2022 with Hamburg losing only one of their 13 games during the season and Vienna only two games defeated.

ELF Championship Game II (25 September 2022)

Vienna Vikings dominated the Hamburg Sea Devils 27-15 in the Second ever European League of Football Championship Game. The Vikings held the Sea Devils top rusher Glen Toonga to a total of minus five yards in the First Half as Vienna’s Quarterback Jackson Erdmann completing almost all passes. [Reference: S-2]

About the European League of Football 2022

In some ways a resurrection of the old National Football League sponsored World League of American Football / National Football League Europe League, the European League of Football is the latest top-level Professional American Football League spanning the continent of Europe. The League resurrected many of the old WLAF and NFLE team names, such as Barcelona Dragons (Catalonia), Frankfurt Galaxy, Berlin Thunder, Hamburg Sea Devils, Rhein Fire and Cologne Centurions, as well as adding new teams Stuttgart Surge and Leipzig Kings (all Germany), and promoting European National League and previously members of other smaller European Professional Leagues, Raiders Tirol and Vienna Vikings (both Austria), Istanbul Rams (Turkey), and Panthers Wroclaw (Poland).

Report

The first domestic Italian American Football League was the Northern Italian Football League , started in 1976, following the first unsuccessful attempts at introducing Pro American Football to Europe in 1973-1975, with the Intercontinental Football League, which was to feature NFL players, and six teams in Europe, including the Rome Gladiators in Italy.

The FIFA (Federazione Italiano Football Americano) association was set up the following year, in 1977, with a four-team National Playoff.

The Diavoli Milano (Milan Devils) beat the Lupi Roma (Rome Wolves) 36-12 in one Semi-Final and the Tori Torino beat the Veltri Bologna in the other by a score of 12-8.

Torino then beat Milano 13-8 in thde Final, to claim the first Italian National Championship.

The Italian League was the first domestic American Football League in Europe, with the game being restricted to US Army men playing at Air Force bases in Europe prior to that. The film M*A*S*H had popularised American Football in Europe in 1970, the first time the game had been seen on screen in Europe in a Major Film. See the Intercontinental Football League 1970-1975: Intercontinental Football League 1970-1975
