  The UK Dukes are Flying the Flag Flag Football is growing exponentially as a popular version of the sport. It’s fast and energetic and focuses on the pass, as the primary way to make gains and score points. If your football radar is finely tuned you may have picked up on an exhibition game that was played last year in the US between “Team Vick” and “Team Owens”,

  Britball 1986…The Cliff Stroughter Season

  Posted in: Fotbollsutrustning

  The British game was about to enter its second full season of competitive play in 1986, and amongst the leading teams, a lot of progress had been made in the previous twelve months. Standards of play had risen, stadiums with good facilities were being used to host games, attendances were rising and teams were hiring import players. It all made for an attractive spectacle for the fans.

  I recently attended the GB Lions trials in Sheffield, not (as you may think) because the team are looking for a “veteran” tight end, with elite level measurables, but to check-in with the Lions head coach, Mike Callan. Following their success in the group B European Championship qualifying games last October, where they convincingly despatched Russia and then Czechia, coach Callan has

This time it’s a Diamond, and it’s located in Helsinki Finland. The Lions will be competing in a four header along with the hosts, the Helsinki Roosters, the Tampere Saints and the St Petersburg Valkyries. The format

  After making the play-offs in their debut season, Wembley's Head Coach tells us about the influence the NFL International Series had on his team's progress... The NFL is gearing up for it's 9th season at Wembley, so it’s somewhat surprising that it’s taken so long for domestic American football to take hold in that part of London. Still, a couple of years back, a man’s

  As the GB Lions women’s team flew home from Canada they would have the chance to reflect on an exciting seven days of competition. No doubt, there would be mixed emotions across the roster, the pride of knowing that they are now the top ranked European team, tempered with the realisation that they came so close to taking the bronze medals. Competitive athletes that they are, they will

  For quarterback Jo Kilby 2017 was a bit of a year! It started in February with a trip to Helsinki where the Birmingham Lions beat the Wolverines. Then in May she led the Birmingham Lions to their fourth National title in the Sapphire Series, and in late June she captained the GB Lions to a creditable fourth place finish at the Women’s World Championships in Canada. If you think she might

  Mention students to the greater UK population and they will most likely have the opinion that they stay in bed until lunch time, have some beans on toast or a pot noodle for lunch, rock up late for a lecture or two, then go out partying into the small hours. For some, that may well be the case. However, for some of our dedicated Uniballers, it couldn’t be further from the truth. If

  The Warrior In The Pink

  If I were assessing him for the NFL combine, I’d say London Warriors linebacker David Izinyon is a big time hitting machine with no passive traits. He stacks and sheds blockers, has great lateral pursuit and is an open field finisher with elite closing speed. He won’t be at this year’s combine, but you can witness all those qualities if you catch him playing for Trent University (where he

Currently we are seeing great strides being made in the development of the game in Saudi Arabia. At the vanguard of the movement is twenty four year old Youseff Ahmed, and his team, the Dammam Eagles. I spoke with the football pioneer
