UFB: In-VIN-cible Rocks run ruin over Rams

Champions Bowl Game 2017 | Honey Bowl Stadium | 7 Jan 2017

The O’Connell Shamrocks cruised to victory in the Champions Bowl, beating the University of Stamford Rams 41-13 on Saturday night. The Rams defence was exposed, with Junior QB Kendall Clark throwing for 287 yards,four touchdowns and Jamarcus Jones gained 172 yards on the ground (and one TD).

The Star of the show was the O’Connell defence, who really took their number 5 ranking to heart- as a huge insult. Led by their beastly frontman, End Vin Marshall. Marshall’s commanding display earned him Player of the Game Honours- with three QB Marks and a forced fumble- he disrupted the Rams attack all day. The Rams only got their touchdown once Marshall was being rested as the reserve defenders were mainly in there. The O’Connell defence forced six turnovers as outgoing senior QB Dre Nalen had a night to forget.

Vin Marshall stole the show and will be the odds-on-favourite for the number one pick in the draft, based on the play-off showings.

UFB: Champions Bowl this Saturday!

RAMS vs ‘ROCKS | NUSA National Championship
Champions Bowl | Sat. January 7th 2017 | USN | 8pm ECT

The Number three ranked University of Stamford Rams go up against the (now favourites) Number five(!) ranked O’Connell Shamrocks. How those seedings appeared to deceive, when it came to playing the games in the NUSA Tournament.

Two seniors may have a big say in the contest, with the Rams’ QB Dre Nalen and enigmatic Shamrocks’ DE Vin Marshall both playing their last games at University. Both are expected to be early picks in the PFL Draft 2017.

Who wants it more? Not too long to find out now!

 

UFB: Boxing Day Bowls Rundown

First-Class Football Bowl Games | NUSA | University Football

The NUSA Uni-Ball season is almost over. Everyone played their eleven games by the beginning of December. Following the post-season tournament, the Bowl season began a in the days prior to Christmas. One of the highlights of the NUSA FCF Bowl Season is the set of three Boxing Day (26th December) Bowl games.

Next up is the New Year’s Eve Classics (Honey and Sweet Bowls) and then the New Year’s Three (Apple, Cherry and Champions Bowls)

The Boxing Day Classics:

   TOMATO BOWL-

Mannestrom Miners 20-24 Gayle Gryphons

The Gryphons got a well earned win against Mannestrom, thanks to a great performance by winger Terry Watson’s two second-half majors. Mannestrom RB Curtis Udebeye ran for 119 yards and one touchdown, but the anemic passing game was their undoing.

   CAPITAL BOWL-

Granada Bulldogs 34-21 Amorgan Irish

The Granada Bulldogs lit up the Capital Bowl with a great first-half performance that knocked the wind out of the Irish. RB Scott Givens scored twice and winger Ellis Jones also got two. The only blight on the copybook was a missed extra point. The Bulldogs won’t really care after this dominating performance.

   SAN ANDREAS BEACH BOWL

Eregonia Dragons 38-19 Ballymore Beavers

Ballymore’s return to a Boxing Day Bowl didn’t go very well. The Dragons dominated from the kick-off. The Dragons are scary-fast on defence and almost as quick on the attack.

UFB: Semi-Final Shockers

For those who were thinking the NUSA Champions Bowl on January 7th would be a shoo-in for the Olaskas Crimson Glory and Ohara Scarlets, think again!

The NUSA Semi-Finals produced two very intriguing matchups. Olaskas could not deal with the pace up-front of the Shamrocks’ defence. Ohara could not make the big play when they really needed it.
