Recap

The Beatles (named after the band from Liverpool with the member with an Irish background, Paul McCartney) won the regular season title in the Kazan Motors Domestic Flag Football League in Tatarstan in the Ural Mountains Region of Russian Federation over Winter 2005-06. They were shocked in the Semi-Finals by Squirrels, despite having gone undefeated through the Regular Season. Diesel picked up the Championship after first defeating Bears in the Semi-Finals and then triumphing 48-33 versus Squirrels in the Final. Cardinals were the only other team in the League and failed to reach the Playoffs with a 1-7 record, although their only victory came against Finalists Squirrels.

Report

In 1979 American Promoter Tom Kelly, as Irish a name as your will find, approached the USSR with a proposal to form an American Football League in what was then the USA’s biggest enemy. With the Cold War not showing signs of thawing, the functionaries in the Kremlin turned down the proposal. By 1989, however, with Gorbachev in power the thaw was in full swing, and the first American Football match was played in Moscow, between two College teams: The “Stars” beat the “Bummers” took place in the Spring of 1989 in the Dynamo Arena.

By July 1989 there had been formed a team in Moscow – the Moscow Bears (also known as Bruins) and by September 17, 1989 they had played their first match, a 77-6 loss in West Berlin to a more experienced German team. In November 1989, The first match between two Soviet teams: Moscow Bears and Kharkov Atlantis (now in Independent Ukraine), was won 26-0 by Moscow Bears. This meeting led to the formation of the first Union of American Football in USSR. By the end of the month, however, disagreements had arisen, and the formation of an Independent Association of American Football in USSR soon had the approval of the European Football League, then the governing body of the sport in Europe, and most teams in USSR were now members of the new Association.

In November 1990, after a couple more International Friendlies and a tour of USA where the Moscow Bears defeated the semi-professional Charlotte Bandits, the first two tournaments were played in USSR, with Moscow Swans defeating Moscow Eagles. The defeat of the Americans at their own game created a massive interest in the press in the new sport, and by February 1991 the first “Snow Bowl” was played between five teams: Moscow Bears, Moscow Swans, Moscow Eagles, Chelyabinsk Federals and Donetsk Bisons, with Moscow Bears winning the Snow Bowl undefeated.

The Snow Bowl is considered a precursor to the first American Football Championship of the USSR which started that spring, featuring six teams: Moscow Bears, Moscow Swans, Caspian Sphinxes, Kharkov Atlantis, Donetsk Skiffs (Scythians?) and Minsk Zubrs (Bison). Moscow Bears were Champions of this, the only full American Football Championship of the USSR, watched by a guest invitee: the President of Severn Vale Royals American Football Team from Gloucester, England. In March of 1991, Moscow Swans made more Russian American Football history, representing the USSR in the Eurobowl (European Champions Cup) where they were defeated 44-14 in the first round by Finland’s Helsinki Roosters.

By now the USSR had broken up and been replaced by the CIS – Commonwealth of Independent States – and a new competition, the CIS Championship was born. Kharkov Atlantis appear to be named after the ancient Greek myth of Atlantis, which was beyond the “Pillars of Hercules” which has been variously described as being beyond the Straits of Gibraltar with Ireland and Cornwall mentioned as possible places for Atlantis due to Irish and Cornish tin showing up in Ancient Greek Bronze objects (Bronze is an alloy of Copper and tin). Atlantis has also been suggested as being situtated in the Black Sea, where Kharkov is situated, beyond the Dardanelles between Mainland Europe and Asiatic Turkey. [References: 4-5]

Recap

Jyväskylä Jaguars deservedly won the 1998 SAJL Finnish American Football League Naiset (Women’s) league, triumphing 24-0 versus Helsinki 69ers in the Final after going 9-1 during regular season play. The 69ers had finished second on 7-3, with Oulu Northern Lights, from up near the Arctic Circle finishing on 6-4 and Helsinki East City Giants fourth on 5-5 also qualifying for the playoffs. Kuopio Kojootit had finished 3-7, and Vantaa Taft (Terrikulan American Football Team) appear to have forfeited all but one Tournament’s games, finishing on 0-10, although the two games they played they did not disgrace themselves.

About the SAJL Naiset (Women’s) League

The SAJL (Finnish American Football League) Naiset Liitto (Women’s League) featured six teams in 1998 – Two from Helsinki, one from Vantaa, a satellite town of Helsinki and three from the Regions: Oulu, Kuopio and Jyväskylä. The League was played as five regular season tournaments, with each of the six teams playing two games at the same venue, followed by Playoff Semi-Finals and Final.

About Grangemouth

Grangemouth is Scotland’s biggest port, having been founded as the finish point of the Clyde-Forth Canal. Located near Falkirk in East Scotland, it is famous also for the art-statues of the two Kelpies, mythological Horses which can take Human form from Celtic Folklore. The artist who created the two giant artworks at the entrance to thde Helix Park, however, took inspiration more from the two work horses which drew each canal boat. Scotland was colonised by Gaelic-speakers from Ireland in 500 AD, although Gaelic is now only widely spoken in the Highlands and Western Isles. [References: 7-9]

Recap

Irish-named players Joe Cafferty and Eric Murphy played a starring role in the Örebro Black Knights run to the Swedish American Football Championship game in 2015. There linebacker Eric Murphy intercepted Carlstad Crusaders’ Quarterback A Hermandsson’s pass in the second quarter, setting up Kicker Joe Cafferty’s Field Goal which put the Black Knights 10-7 up.

It was to be the highpoint for the Örebro team, however, as Carlstad Crusaders scored five touchdown’s in a row before the Black Knights added a late consolation Touchdown to leave the score 42-17 at the final whistle to Carlstad Crusaders, who won their sixth Swedish title in a row, and would go on to win the Champions League Final versus Serbia’s Vukovi Belgrade later in the season [see References 2-3]. The Game was the Crusaders 13th SM-Final appearance in 14 years as the dominant team in Swedish American Football showed no signs of letting up.

The League was reduced by two teams for 2016 after some big mis-matches involving the games between teams in the top and bottom half of the standings, with Kristianstad Predators and Västerås Roedeers made the drop to Division 1.
