Inline Hockey Ireland Hibernia League 1 Results 2015-16 [Ref: 5-8]

Report

Armagh Stars (12-2-1), Longford Hawks (14-0-0), Waterford Vikings (10-2-1) and Clare Waves (13-0-0) were the four division winners of the Inline Hockey Ireland League 1 – the second level of Inline Hockey in Ireland – in 2015-16.

After the season Cork Wolfpack were promoted to the Elite League and new team Midland Thunder (Longford) replaced Maigh Eo Bulls, who took a year out and UCC Skulls and Killa Beez who dropped out. Kilkenny Bandits returned after a years absence.

About

After a number of seasons where there were separate Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland Inline Hockey Leagues with an All-Ireland Playoff, the first Hibernia All-Ireland League was introduced in 2015-16. League 1 was the second level of Inline Hockey in Ireland in 2015-16.

East Coast Blaze, Dun Dealgan Warriors and Dublin Wolves had joined from the Northern Ireland Inline Hockey Association as well as the 2nd team of the Northern Cyclones and Bangor Chiefs and Cork Wolfpack and Waterford Shadows from the National Inline Hockey League after 2014-15.

Non-Returning teams were Belfast Pitbulls, Belfast Bruins and Raiders from the NIIHA and Galway Pitbulls and Kilkenny Bandits from the NIHL. These teams were repaced by the Clare Waves, Maigh Eo Bulls, Clare Badgers, West Coast Pirates, Killa Beez, Ballymena Vandals, UCC Skulls, and Waterford Vikings.

Report

From 1998 to 2002 the British Senior Flag League ran 9v9 and 5v5 Flag American Football Leagues in England. The 5v5 version was the International Standard as promoted by the NFL, but England also ran a 9v9 Senior Championship.

In 2003 the League renamed itself the English Senior Flag League. Fen Harriers won that year and from 2004 to 2005 the Leicester Europa Eagles won the title.

The popularity of 9v9 dropped off after 2002, and the format was no longer used after 2005, as the NFL standard became the British Standard. While the League was called the British Senior Flag League prior to 2003, and was open to all teams in Britain, all teams were English and there was a separate Scottish Flag Football Association north of the border. The British American Football Association officially recognized Flag Football and took over the running of both leagues in 2008.

Report

From 1998 to 2002 the British Senior Flag League ran 9v9 and 5v5 Flag American Football Leagues in England. The 5v5 version was the International Standard as promoted by the NFL, but England also ran a 9v9 Senior Championship, which was won by Leicester Europa Eagles in 1998, Fen Harriers in 1999 and 2000, London Gators in 2001, and then Leicester Eagles again in 2002.

The popularity of 9v9 dropped off after 2003, and the BSFL changed its name to the English Senior Flag League. While the League was called the British Senior Flag League prior to 2003, and was open to all teams in Britain, all teams were English and there was a separate Scottish Flag Football Association north of the border. The British American Football Association officially recognized Flag Football and took over the running of both leagues in 2008.

Report

Futbol Americano Mexico (FAM) was started in 2018, playing its first season in 2019, as a rival to the Liga Futbol Americano Profesional (LFA) in Mexico. It was the first league other than the NFL to play by NFL rules, with the exception of overtime, which is by NCAA rules. All other leagues outside of America, bar the Canadian Football League (which has its own rules) are played under NCAA rules. [Ref: 4]

The 2020 League was suspended after the games on 14 March due to the COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic. Tequileros de Jalisco (3-1) and Bulldogs de Naucalpan (2-1) were out in front in the Division Voit. In Division BWW, Caudillos de Chuihuahua were clear leaders on a 4-0 Won-Loss Record.

Report

The first National Football League of 1902 was formed by three teams: The The Phillies and Athletics of Philadelphia, and the Stars of Pittsburgh. All three played matches against each other as well as teams not from the League, but had tangled their League standings so much it was impossible to tell which had actually won. The fourth power at the time Watertwon Red and Blacks from Upstate New York had already claimed to be “World Champions”.

With a large Arena to fill for New Years Eve, and so many other attractions in New York at the time, Tom O’Rourke, the famed Irish-American Boxing Promoter, who was manager of Madison Square Garden at the time decide to hold the first “World Series” of Professional Football. He invited both the Phillies and Athletics from Philadelphia, and the Watertown Red and Blacks, but declined to invite the Stars of Pittsburgh, as he thought New Yorkers would not go the see a team from Pittsburgh.

The Phillies and Athletics combined to enter one team, although the team was named “New York” for the occasion. The Watertown team declined to take part, so to pad out the schedule, Syracuse Athletic Club, from Upstate New York were invited, as were Orange Athletic Club from New Jersey, and Warlow Athletic Club from New York. The Hometown Knickerbockers were also invited, Both the Knickerbockers and Warlow were expected to be a big Hometown draw. The Syracuse team added players from Watertown Red and Blacks, also Upstate New York, so could also with some justification consider themselves a Major Football Team like the “New York” team of Phillies and Athletics. The team called itself All-Syracuse for the occasion.

The scheduling was a problem, and with a six-team tournament, Orange AC were given a bye to the Final game. The first game on 28 December 1902 was between the two teams who could likely have contested a World series Final: All-Syracuse and New York, which All-Syracuse won 6-0 depriving Tom O’Rourke of his big draw for the Final. In the other preliminary match New York Knickerbockers beat Warlow AC 11-6. They lost to All-Syracuse in the knockout second round, or Semi-Final, 36-0. This deprived O’Rourke of another big hometown draw for the Finale on New Years Eve. In this match All-Syracuse again won 36-0 against inferior opposition in Orange AC.

Pennsylvania and Upsate New York were the big football regions at the time and scheduling them for the first match rather than keeping them apart until the Final is bizarre. Another aspect of the series that was unusual was the field: Indoors in Madison Square Garden, and only 70-yards between the goalposts rather the 110-yard field that was standard at the time. It has gone down on record as the first Indoor Professional Football match. The field was laid with earth after the wooden floorboards were taken up, but it described as “sticky and holding” which meant speed and cleverness were neutralized and the games were about size and strength eve more than usual. One football player knocked himself silly running into the walls in the opening kickoff of the first game and never took part in the rest of the game.

An interesting footnote to the the Series to Irish readers is that a Gaelic Football match was played as a curtain-raiser to the main event on New Years Eve.

National Football League American Bowls in Mexico 1994-2001 [Ref: 1]

Report

The first International game played by the National Football League outside of Canada was in tokyo, Japan, in 1976, and this was followed by a match in Mexico City in 1978 (see National Football League Intercontinental 1972-1978 for more details).

Beginning with matches in London in 1986, the American Bowl was a preseason Bowl game played in International cities until 2005, when the focus became Regular Season matches Internationally.

In 1994 the first American Bowl matches were played in Mexico, with a Cowboy-theme for one of the sides in each of the six matches: Dallas Cowboys four times, Denver Broncos once and Indianapolis Colts once. The Cowboys lost the first three matches they played, to the Oilers, Chiefs and Patriots, before winning against the Oakland Raiders. Similarly, the Broncos lost their game, before the Colts won against the Steelers.

The first Regular Season match in Mexico was played in 2005.
