Report
The Northern Ireland Junior American League was a Coed (Mixed) Two-Touch American Football League for 14-18 year olds in Northern Ireland that was formed in 1988, and became a Junior Kitted League in 1991. Two-Touch is a version of Flag Football that was popular among Junior sides in Ireland and Britain in the late 1980s before Flags were brought in from America. The ball carrier is tackled by placing two hands on him or her.
In the only known result from 1990, Belfast Junior Spartans beat Brownlow Bandits (the Craigavon Cowboys Junior side) 27-0. Other teams in 1990 were Maiden City Maulers (Derry), Lisburn Groundhogs, Prospect Pumas (Carrickfergus), and Ballymena Wolfhounds.
