1996 Bowl Game action v Winchester Rifles
Team notes: Established at the start of 1986 and still playing in
the BSL. Played in three different leagues in the late 80s UKAFL, Budweiser
League and then BNGL. Made playoffs twice in that time. Have won 8 conference
championships in their existence. Reached the BNGL Premier Division bowl game in 1989
(losing to Kingston), and then in 1996 reached the BAFA Division Three bowl game (losing
to the Winchester Rifles). Did not compete in 1992 due to a player shortage - after
starting the season with 50 players, numbers dropped to 20 after some signed for Stratford
Tempests and UST Royals. Made playoffs in 2000, and were promoted to Division One as a
result. Finished with a creditable 3-5-0 record in 2001. Had a poor
2002 season finishing with a 0-9-1 record which resulted in them
returning to Division Two in 2003, where they finished with a 4-6-0 record. Had a stunning
regular season in 2004 finishing 9-0-1, but fell at the first hurdle in the playoffs in a
thriller to Sussex Thunder 23-22.
With a 140 yards, 3
touchdowns and one 2 point conversion, Dave Mills of the Redditch Arrows passed
1000 yards for the season against their final opponents for the 2005 season the Andover Thrashers.
