At a 4th July Festival match played the following weekend in Moneygall, Co. Offaly, hometown of President Barack Obama’s Irish Ancestors, the Trim Bulldogs won 28-26, with their Offensive Line playing tough winning football, and their defense getting an all-important safety (worth two points) and then blocked a 2-point conversion by the Drogheda Lightning which was the difference between the teams.

National Football League International Regular Season Games in Mexico 2005-Present [Reference: 1-2]

Report

The National Football League played its first ever regular season game outside of the USA in Mexico City’s Estadio Azteca in 2005, between the Arizona Cardinals and the San Francisco 49ers, with the Cardinals winning 31-14. A gap of 11 years followed before the next regular season game in Mexico, again one between a Californian team and a Southwest USA team, with the Oakland Raiders defeating the Houstin Texans.

The next match again featured the Raiders, as they lost to the New England Patriots in 2017, before another California-Southwest USA match-up pitted the Kansas City Chiefs against the Los Angeles Chargers, with the Chiefs victorious.
