Crystal Bowl XLVI teams now set.

So here we are. Sunday, March 5 2016 will see the Adelphia Phoenix (for the third time in four years) represent the Atlantic Conference. The Ballymore Tigers, The National Conference.

The Adelphia Phoenix will be deemed as the ‘home’ team and presumably will wear their normal red jerseys. The Tigers have considered the black shirts as lucky this season, so could well be clad in the black and orange.

(NFL fans note: The PFL allows both teams to wear coloured jerseys, as long as they do not clash).

Now, we embark on the silly season, the week before ‘CBWeek’…

The Wasps’ Nest | Sunday February 21, 2016 – 1 PM on MAX

Will Wasps’ Quarterback Billy Humphrey play? That’s got to be the biggest question for this game. The 18 year veteran limped out of a bruising encounter last week against Seafax. The Storm were the number one defence and they knocked him down and about all day (including two late hit penalties). Continue reading Atlantic Conference Final: Preview
