2020 season will be interesting for IAFL1 & IAFL2 teams.

Warriors & Wolves both seemed to have difficulties.

Possible return to North/South IAFL1 on the cards?

SBC format looks very solid, highly doubt there will be any changes there.

Is it usually 1up 1down for IAFL1 (Audits permitting)

If both come back next year id imagine wolves and warriors will both go down. Crusaders up and possibly jets maybe if they want it.

Was a few years since i played them, they lacked numbers at that point, don't know how they're fixed now tbh but if they are able for it numbers wise, no reason not to go up.

Carrickfergus Knights got relegated From SBC and will play IAFL1 next year. Big fall from a team that appeared in the Bowl game only 2 seasons ago.

Playoffs start tomorrow. Trojans play UCD. Should be a good game, but you'd fancy Trojans to sneak it.
Cork (undefeated so far) take on the Panthers in the other semi. Can't see anything but a Cork win there unfortunately, Panthers decimated by injuries after a very promising start to season.

Its remarkable how good the admirals have been

When we were the soldiers we played them on a muddy field in cork a few years ago and they were decent
Now a mate who plays for an SBC team says its like playing a totally different level

Fair Play them for that serious level of hardwork to improve

Ignore all of this! Appears to be a helluva panthers performance

Yea big surprise considering the quality of players they were missing. Bowl should be an interesting game but panthers haven't had it easy against the trojans past 3 years. You'd have to have them (Trojans) big favourites.

Cowboys are IAFA1 champions at the second time of asking.

Minatores went for 2 with a minute left to win rather than tie with the PAT, wr caught the ball in the end zone, landed out of the end zone and was tackled before he could get back in. Cowboys win 28-27.

raven136 · 11-08-2019 1:18pm

Season over for another one

Crusaders IAFL2 (No bias here but we were damn good

)

Cowboys IAFL1

Trojans powerful in the SBC

Not sure who will go down a level as a few teams struggled

The game appears to be getting better and better every year

Schedule released and we are all back on track for Irish Football!

Big Pussy Bonpensiero · 05-04-2020 12:27am

Don't know if anyone saw but this seasons Irish game has been cancelled due to the Corona Virus. A small thing in the grand scheme of things but still a bummer for most players who trained from November right up to a week before the first game was due to start. Be interesting to see how many other sports follow their lead.

JUst a quick question on Flag football

Is it 8 a side??

And are mixed teams allowed?

davetherave · 07-01-2021 1:12pm

5 a side and mixed teams are allowed.

It's played under the International Federation of American Football (IFAF) flag football rules. - https://www.ifaf.org/downloads/IFAF%20Flag%20Rules%202019.pdf

Hey guys,

Myself and a few friends are setting up a new Flag team in Clonmel called the Clonmel Arrows.

If anyone is interested in trying out PM me or email us: clonmelarrows@gmail.com

All are welcome to join.

Does anyone know if the Wexford Eagles are still playing? Their facebook and Instagram seem to be inactive. The american football ireland website doesn't have anything about them or show them in any leagues at the moment. Does anyone here know any more information?

Also if the Eagles are no longer playing, where else would be recommended for me to join that would be nearest to Wexford?

csirl · 24-10-2022 9:09am

Eagles stopped playing early in 2022 season. Their long time HC etc. went to South Dublin and then retired - move didnt work out. Coming out of covid, the team needed to keep all key people in situ. Was a shame that SD targeted some of their key people.

The Eagles were a well run club with a good bit of local interest. Question is if anyone can revive the team?

Rebels are probably your nearest team - based near N11/M50.

csirl · 12-01-2024 4:45pm

I see the AFI 2024 schedule has been released in bits by some teams online.

What"s the divisional lineup? Not clear from teams own posts.

csirl · 31-07-2024 10:44am

Congrats to UCD winning the Shamrock Bowl.

But the visible decline in the national organisation is both shocking and concerning for fans of the domestic game. The organisation of the championship game was way below par. The Commissioner didnt even attend the game! Who decided to have a "running clock" to shorten the event? Not just the championship - other examples include no results/league tables on the website...
