Championship Report

The Berserkers raced out to a 22-0 lead early on in the Championship, with Quarterback Jarred Evans going over for two touchdowns from close range with quarterback sneaks, and then a deep Touchdown pass to Wang Shida.

For a while it looked like another blowout like previous Wuhan games in the 2019 season, but the Titans clawed their way back with a Touchdown pass late in the first half from Datong Wang to Thomas Defede, cutting the score to 22-7, but within the two-minute warning Evans connected with a second receiver, Wu Jinjin, making it 28-7 at the halftime whistle.

The teams traded scores in the second half, and for a while it looked as if a Titans comeback was on the cards as they came out fighting in the second half, re-establishing their running game with Ben Wong scoring a touchdown, but a third Evans touchdown pass to add to the two he scored himself sealed victory for Wuhan Berserkers 36-13.

Report

Wuhan Berserkers lived up to their name, out-gunning the rest of the 21-team Chinese National Football League and growing in confidence as the 2019 season progressed.

The ‘Best in the West’ went 4-0 in the Regular Season, dethroning Chengdu Pandaman who would not go into the Playoffs as division winners for the first time ever after the Berserkers defeated the Pandaman 44-6 to finish the Regular Season.

In the Playoff Quarter-Finals Wuhan outgunned Foshan Tigers (4-2) 52-8 to take on Shanghai powerhouse Warriors in the Semi-Finals where they put up an unbelievable 84 points to the Warriors 40 in a shootout to become the first team outside of Shanghai to reach the Championship game since 2013.

In The Championship Game Wuhan met Shanghai Titans, the ‘Beast from the East’, themselves undefeated after also going 4-0 in the Regular Season and defeating first Taiyuan Troops 62-0 in the Quarter-Finals before stumbling to a 23-12 victory over a surprising Hong Kong Warhawks in the other Semi-Final.

Wuhan Berserkers triumhed 36-13 over Shanghai Titans in the Championship (see report above). Following the game, Quarterback Jarred Evans signed for Bern Grizzlies in the Swiss Nationalliga A, one of the top National Leagues in Europe.

Wuhan Berserkers became the first ever team to make it into the American Football International / Inside Sport Japan Top 250 Teams in the World (outside USA and Canada) with the Championship win. [Reference: 16]
