Reykjavik Einherjar Icelandic American Football Season 2018-19 [Ref: 1-7]

Report

Rejkjavik Einherjar, Iceland’s only American Football Team, just got better and better in their third season, 2018-19. After destroying Germany’s Cologne Falcons 50-0, and then triumphing confortably, 56-22 over Sweden’s Tryeso Royal Crowns, they faced their stiffest test yet, when they travelled to New York to take on Semi-Pro side Empire State Wolfpack, losing 36-7. They then finished the season with a 28-42 loss to Finland’s Runners-Up, Kuopio Steelers.

Note 2: Brooklyn Dodgers left the League to join the AAFC in 1945 and in 1946 the AAFC merged with the NFL, although in reality what happened was the NFL took over its three most successful franchises: Baltimore Colts, Cleveland Browns and San Francisco 49ers. The Brooklyn franchise was replaced by other New York teams, which changed year on year, most called New York Yanks. Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings were expansion franchises in 1960 and 1961 respectively.

Report

The National Football League played its first Championship Game in 1933, the first year the League was divided in to Eastern and Western Divisions. In 1960 the American Football League, one of many to use that name, became so successful, it forced a merger with the NFl, with the two League playing the first Super Bowl between their respective Champions in January 1967 (1966 season). These Leagues merged in 1970 to form the AFC and NFC (Conferences within the NFL) which continue to play the Super Bowl between them.

The most successful teams during the NFL Championship Era (1933 to 1966) were the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears with six wins each, followed by the Detroit Lions and Cleveland Browns with four and Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants with three.

Report

After a number of seasons as a Northern and Southern Junior Two-Touch League, the Junior Gridiron League became a National Flag Footbal League in 1995 with two sections: Youth (9-15 year olds) and Junior (14-18 year olds). This followed from the successful introduction of Flag Football to the JGL Junior League in 1994.

The Junior Flag Football League was won by the Doncaster Wildcats, who shocked the Brighton B-52s in the National JGL Bowl 20-0. The B-52s managed to shut out the Wildcats in a spirited second-half display, but the damage was done in the first half, when Doncaster scored three touchdowns without reply.

Doncaster ran in a 42 yard TD to open the scoring in the first quarter, and then added two converted touchdowns to lead 20-0 at the half, which was how it stayed until the end of the game.

Junior Gridiron League Youth Flag Football Regular Season Results 1995 [Ref: 1-7]

Report

After a number of seasons as a Northern and Southern Junior Two-Touch League, the Junior Gridiron League became a National Flag Footbal League in 1995 with two sections: Youth (9-15 year olds) and Junior (14-18 year olds). This followed from the successful introduction of Flag Football to the JGL Junior League in 1994.

The 1995 JGL Youth Flag Football Final was won by Plymouth Commodores, 1914 over the Northwestern Redskins. Northwestern opened the scoring in the second quarter with a short run. Barry winter then ran 70 yards for Plymouth’s first Touchdown as time ended in the first half. The Redskins took advantage of good field position in the third to score again, and convert to go 14-6 up.

Barry Winter then replied for the Commodores on a 63 yard pass on a halfback option, with Andrew Wilcock dodging several tackles on his way to the endzone. Winter, who was voted MVP, then scored on a two yard run to seal victory for the Devon club. Winter even kicked the extra point as he put in a special all-round display.
