Weekly Recaps

Newcomers to the European League of Football, Istanbul Rams were narrowly defeated 38-40 by Cologne Centurions.

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]

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).

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).

Recap

The Major Alternative Football Leagues of 2021 were The Spring League which kicked off its 5th season this year, with a major expansion, adding a second hub city and four teams to its schedule, the European League of Football, Japan X-League X1 Super, and the Canadian Football League.

The Linemen won TSL North in Indianapolis with a 5-1 record and the Jousters were Champions of TSL South in Houston with a 4-2 record. In a close Mega Bowl Linemen defeated Jousters 26-23 [13-14]. Tadhg Leader, former Connacht Rugby player, who was born in Ireland, played kicker for the Aviators who finished 0-6 in the TSL North [8-10].

Following the TSL season, Tadhg Leader moved on to play for Panthers Wroclaw of Poland in the European League of Football, along with a young Tallaght, South Dublin County native Kevin Mayo. The Panthers finished the season 6-4 in the ELF North but lost the Semi-Final 27-30 at Hamburg Sea Devils, who finished runners-up to ELF South Champions Frankfurt Galaxy (9-1) who won the ELF Championship Game 32-30 in an even closer game than the TSL Mega Bowl [7-8].

By the Fall the Japan X-League had kicked off and the 6-1 Fujitsu Frontiers upset the 7-0 Panasonic Impulse 24-20 in the Rice Bowl [4-5]. This was the first year the JXL had sole ownership of the Rice Bowl, previously the X-League Champions contested the Rice Bowl with the College Champions in Japan.

The Canadian Football League, the biggest of the Major Alternative Football Leagues played a covid-shortened 14-game schedule, with newly renamed Edmonton Elks struggling to a 3-11 record, worst in the CFL. The big news on the Football field however was Winnipeg Blue Bombers who went 11-3 in winning the CFL West before triumphing 33-25 against Hamilton Tiger-Cats (8-6) who had upset CFL East Champions Toronto Argonauts 27-19 in the Eastern Final [2].

Tadhg Leader – Irish-born Player (Panthers Wroclaw ELF and Aviators TSL)

Former Connacht Rugby player Tadhg Leader was born in Galway, Ireland. At the age of 15 he and his brother Darragh headed out to kick some Rugby balls at their local pitch on Christmas Day. His dad, a former Galwegians RFC Rugby player made a bet with them that they could not kick the ball over the bars from the halfway line. Both Tadhg and his brother Darragh won €50 each.

Tadhg went on to play Rugby Professionally for Connacht and Darragh now lives in USA where he coaches at Clemson University Tigers. Tadhg suffered a number of injuries during his last few years at Connacht and after playing in Italy he ended up studying in USA and playing for both New England Free Jacks in Major League Rugby and making his Test debut for USA Eagles Rugby Union National Team.

Tadhg was signed up to play another year of Rugby Union in 2021 when the kicker started kicking American Footballs for fun. People took notice and said he should try out for American Football teams and so he went off to San Diego where he was kicking alongside Super Bowl-winning athletes. Unsure of his own ability he asked John Carney, who has 23 years of experience kicking Footballs and Carney said he could mix it with the NFL players.

Before long Leader found himself playing for the Aviators in The Spring League in USA. The Aviatiors, one of four teams based in Indianapolis, a COVID-19 Pod and one of two Pods in the 8-team league in 2021 finished with an 0-6 record in 2021. On May 7 versus Alphas Tadhg Leader scored the first points of his American Football career kicking a Field Goal to make the score Aviators 3 Alphas 7 at Halftime.

After spending Spring in Indianapolis with the Aviators Tadhg signed for Panthers Wroclaw in the European League of Football, making his debut on opening day in a 55-39 victory over Cologne Centurions. [References: 8-10]

Kevin Mayo – Irish Player (Panthers Wroclaw ELF)

Kevin Mayo, who is from Tallaght, South Dublin Co. in Ireland, and had previously played for the South Dublin Panthers in the American Football Ireland League joined the Panthers Wroclaw at the tail end of the season after being picked up by North Park University in Chicago, an NCAA Division III College.

Report

A new 8-team fully professional American Football League in Europe – the European League of Football is planned to start in June 2021 with a 12-week 10-game schedule announced, playing by NFL rules as opposed to NCAA as everywhere else in Europe.

It is the first fully professional league since the demise of NFL Europa in 2007, and has been met with much criticism by the German Football League – the current top league in Europe – as 6 of the franchises are based in Germany, with two more in Spain (Barcelona Dragons) and Poland (three times Champions Wroclaw Panthers).

Following the demise of the NFLE/WLAF, the Central European Football League, featuring teams from Poland to Turkey and France to Hungary was a weekly Football League, but not fully pro, lasting until 2016.

The six German teams are Berlin Thunder, Frankfurt Galaxy, Cologne Centurions and Hamburg Sea Devils (all using the same names as their previous NFL Europe/World League of American Football team), Stuttgart Surge (using the name of the old Sacramento Surge team in the WLAF) and Leipzig Kings (almost a resurrection of the London Monarchs name). Barcelona Dragons is also a resurrection of the previous NFLE/WLAF team name.

Weeks 1-3

After three Game Days Hamburg Sea Devils were the only undefeated team on 2-0. Panthers Wroclaw were hot on their heels, however, at 1-2 with Berlin Thunder (1-1) and Leipzig Kings (1-2) still within one win of the Division North leaders. In Division South there were no undefeated teams as Cologne Centurions and Frankfurt Galaxy both tied for first on 2-1, Stuttgart Surge just behind on 1-2 and Barcelona Dragons the only winless team in the league on 0-3.

Week 4

In Week 4 Hamburg Sea Devils stretched their unbeaten run to 3 games with a comprehensive 44-6 victory versus Berlin Thunder. Frankfurt Galaxy meanwhile took over sole ownership of the top spot in Division South with a 41-20 win at Cologne Centurions, moving the Sea Devils to 3-1 and dropping the Centurions to 2-2. In the Game of the Week Stuttgart Surge came from 12-0 down after the first quarter to squeak by Leipzig Kings 27-24 to move the Surge to 2-2 and joint second with the Centurions in the South, while Leipzig Kings dropped to 1-3 and bottom spot of the North.

Week 5

In Week 5 Hamburg Sea Devils had another big win, 55-0 at Leipzig Kings as they moved to 4-0 in the North while Panthers Wroclaw kept in touch with a 45-26 victory at Berlin Thunder as the Polish team and Hamburg continued to dominate Division North. There was one game in Division South where Barcelona Dragons fell at home to old WLAF foes Frankfurt Galaxy, again the scoring was big with the game finishing 42-22 to Frankfurt, which left them in command of the Division at 3-1. Barcelona fell to 0-4, remaining winless.

Week 6

Panthers Wroclaw lost 23-26 in a tight game to Hamburg Sea Devils, putting Hamburg on 5-0, and putting Wroclaw out of touch with the Division North leaders. Barcelona Dragons meanwhile won their first game of the season as they lit up the scoreboard with a 41-16 defeat of Berlin Thunder. In the other game in Week 6, Stuttgart Surge lost 23-39 to Cologne Centurions.

Week 7

Week 7 saw Hamburg struggle to a 22-17 victory over Barcelona with four P Andersen Field Goals in the second half giving them the win after N Lester had given the travelling Dragons fans some hope of an upset with a 97 yard Interception Return for a Touchdown of Hamburg Quarterback J Clark. L O’Connor, another quarterback with an Irish name was on the losing side as Panthers Wroclaw succumbed to Cologne Centurions, losing 33-31 putting the Centurions and Panthers both on 3-2 records. J Sullivan, a third Quarterback with an Irish name scored two rushing Touchdowns and passed for another as Frankfurt Galaxy destroyed Stuttgart Surge 57-3. In the fourth game Leipzig Lions won 37-24 versus Berlin Thunder as the two bottom teams in Division North battled each other for their second win of the season.

Week 8

In a week of drama, Barcelona Dragons won their second game in a row after losing their first five with a 60-51 victory at home to Cologne Centurions. In an unbelievable game there were 18 touchdowns in all, 10 for Barcelona and 8 for Cologne. In Leipzig the Kings improved to 3-4 with a 49-23 win over Stuttgart Surge who dropped to 2-5. Meanwhile the Frankfurt Galaxy and Hamburg Sea Devils met in a possible Championship Game match-up in Frankfurt. The eagerly awaited clash between the two Division leaders saw Frankfurt Galaxy hand Hamburg their first defeat of the season as a dominant Galaxy defense held the Sea Devils to three field goals and got on the scoresheet themselves with a safety. J Sullivan, the Irish-named Frankfurt Quarterback had a stellar day, passing for three touchdowns and scoring himself on a one yard quarterback sneak.

Week 9

Week 9 saw Barcelona Dragons win their second in a row with a 30-12 victory over the Surge in pouring rain in Stuttgart. Meanwhile in Berlin the Clark-inspired Hamburg sea Devils raced into a 28-0 lead thanks to three touchdown passes in the first half from the Quarterback with the Irish surname to A Bottela Moreno and one in the third quarter to J Madin Cerezo before a spirited Thunder comeback saw them come within striking distance of tying the match at 20-28, but the game ended there. In the other match, there was contrasting fortunes for the two other quarterbacks with Irish names as Frankfurt Galaxy’s Jakub Sullivan threw three touchdown passes in the first half to put Frankfurt 20-0 up at haltime, and then in the second half Panthers Wroclaw’s Lokas O’Connor threw two interceptions to the same Galaxy player, Joshua Poznanski, who returned both Interceptions for a touchdown (58 and 36 yards respectively). O’Connor fired a late TD pass of his own to Jakub Mazan but it was mere consolation as Frankfurt won 36-7.

Week 10

Leipzig Kings defeated Cologne Centurions 42-24 to open up Week 10. The victory put the Kings on 4-4 and kept them in the chase for a Playoff spot, with Cologne dropping to 4-4 but still in second place in the South. In the battle of the cellar-dwellers, Berlin Thunder got the better of Barcelona Dragons 19-3 in a low-scoring encounter, leaving both teams on two wins, and still mathematically in with a slim chance of the playoffs. Meanwhile the top two teams in the North Division, Hamburg Sea Devils and Panthers Wroclaw put on a thriller of a show which the Polish team edged 30-24 thanks to an amazing 24 points in the second quarter. The win left the Panthers on 4-4, just 2.5 games behind Hamburg on 7-2.

Week 11

In Week 11 action Barcelona Dragons almost pulled off another upset, as they lost 14-22 to South Division leaders and the team also with the best overall record, Frankfurt Galaxy, which left the Galaxy on 8-1 and with the Division title. Panthers Wroclaw stayed in the hunt for the North Division title with a relatively easy 35-12 victory versus Berlin Thunder. Berlin Thunder’s 12 points all came in the fourth quarter when the result was in no doubt and left Panthers on 5-4. In an extremely close game Hamburg Sea Devils went down 17-18 to Leipzig Kings, meaning all three teams still in the hunt for the North Division Playoff spots (Hamburg 7-3, Wroclaw 5-4 and Leipzig 5-4) were in a game of each other with one week left. Meanwhile Cologne Centurions defeated Stuttgart Surge 19-9 to take second place in the South Division.

Week 12

Finishing off the Regular Season, Frankfurt Galaxy wrapped up the Division North title in style, and with it the best Regular season league record on 9-1 with a 45-7 thumping of Cologne Centurions, who finished the season on 5-5. In the battle of the two last-placed teams Berlin Thunder were hungrier team, winning 38-0 as Stuttgart lost their sixth in a row to finish on 2-8. Berlin finished 3-7. In the other match with Playoff consequences Wroclaw Panthers defeated Leipzig Kings 21-13 to reach the Playoffs in second place in the North on 6-4 as Leipzig Kings finished 5-5. Cologne Centurions took the fourth playoff spot in second place in the North.

Playoffs

Frankfurt Galaxy won easily versus Cologne Centurions for the second week in a row as they won 36-6 in an All-German Semi-Final. In the North match-up there was another close encounter between the Hamburg Sea Devils and Panthers Wroclaw which the Sea Devils squeaked 30-27. In the three games between the teams this season there was a touchdown or less between the sides at the final whistle.

ELF Championship Game

The lead changed hands five times in the 2021 European League of Football Championship Game as two Irish-named Quarterbacks duelled it out for European American Football’s top prize. J Clark managed to score on two 1-yard runs and pass to J Madin Cerezo for another Touchdown for the Hamburg Sea Devils, however, favourites Frankfurt Galaxy, behind Quarterback J Sullivan fared better, as Sullivan also scored on a 1-yard Quarterback keeper and passed for four more to G Adams, N Strahmann, A Mahoungou and K Mwamba as the Galaxy triumphed 32-30.
