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.
