More footage of the 6 man junior league provided by the Ostend Pirates.

BFL Junior Bowl 2013

The Brussels Bulls and Brussels Tigers met again in the Junior Bowl. During the regular season the Bulls were the stronger team, what will the result be in the most important game of the junior season?

Junior Football Semi-Finals and end of season games

As the Junior season has come to a close, here are some of the games that weren't published so far.

First up the semi-final game between the Brussels Bulls and Puurs Titans. While the Bulls kept a commanding lead throughout the game, the Titans kept fighting, making for a very enjoyable game to watch.



Up next we have the second semi-final game between the Tigers and Angels. A lot of fumbles occurred ... Only the first half was filmed


Then we have the last game of the season of the Bulls (2) 6 man squad.



Finally 2 more 9 man football games that were played near the end of the season: Bulls-Tribes and Tigers-Warriors (thank you Warriors for the footage).

Lots of junior football!

First of all I want to thank the Ostend Pirates for putting all their videos on youtube so it's easily accessible for me and everybody else who's interested.

First up, 6 man football.
Leuven Lions and Brussels Bulls 2 playing at Izegem at the start of October



Then it's time for a double dose of Ostend Pirates. The first video shows their game against the Leuven Lions in October and then there's the rematch with the WAPI Phoenix that took place on the 3rd of November.






Finally we have some footage provided by the Waterloo Warriors of their home game against the Brussels Bulls in the 9 man junior league

2013 Senior football from the LFFAB

Here's some video form the 2013 senior football season. In this video the Waterloo Warriors take on the WAPI Phoenix. Thanks go out to the Warriors for providing me this footage.

Brussels Bulls 9 man tapes

A double dose of Bulls 9 man junior football.
First up is the tight game between the Black Angels and Bulls. The Bulls got a big lead in the first half but allowed the Angels to sneak closer in the second half.




Then we have the Bulls' home game against the Charleroi Coal Miners. Terrible weather conditions ensured both teams would have to rely heavily on their running game. The Coal Miners could not keep up with the Bulls because of fumbling issues and long runs by the Bulls running backs. This led to a rather one-sided game.

Junior Black Angels and Puurs Titans battle the elements

Yesterday was a terrible day to be outside, but nevertheless the Black Angels and Puurs Titans battled each other in Brussels. The Titans were very competitive, but mistakes and fumbles kept them from keeping up with the Black Angels running game.

Thanks again go out to the Pirates for providing us with this video from the 6 man Junior League.

Week 3 Junior 9 man football - Waterloo Warriors v. Charleroi Coal Miners

The past weekend the Waterloo Warriors squared off against the Charleroi Coal Miners at the Brussels Black Angels field. The Miners had some impressive long runs, but multiple turnovers made it impossible for them to keep up with the Warriors. Final score: 52-18.

This game tape was made by the Pirates themselves. Enjoy!

Week 2 Junior Season 2013: Monarchs v. Titans

Here's the tape of the first game played in Evere last Sunday. The Liège Monarchs played a 9man football game against the Puurs Titans. Unfortunately for the Titans the screen game by the Monarchs was too much to handle for them.

Junior Football 2013: Izegem Tribes and Brussels Tigers

My apologies for the weird freeze at the end of every play, no clue why my camera decided to add this effect. Anyway it was nice to see the young Tribes play as they never gave up even though the Tigers did seem to take advantage of their greater experience and athleticism.

First LFFAB game: Fighting Turtles v. Brussels Tigers

Here's the first LFFAB game for the blog. The Louvain-La-Neuve Fighting Turtles against the Brussels Tigers in the last game of the LFFAB regular season.

Watch the two teams battle it out:

Preparing for the 2013 season: Fighting Turtles v Bornem Titans scrimmage

Another nice find today, apparently the Louvain-La-Neuve Fighting Turtles played a scrimmage game against the Bornem Titans before the 2013 season started.
Enjoy!

Crowning the champion: Belgian Bowl game film

Did not know before that all these great videos were available on youtube, but definitely worth the look.

First up, Belgian Bowl XXIII in 2010 with the Izegem Tribes facing the Brussels Tigers:




Then, in 2011, the Izegem Tribes go to the Belgian Bowl again, although this time it's an all-FFL party with the Brussels Black Angels as their opponent:




In the 2012 Belgian Bowl XXV the Izegem Tribes are no longer one of the contenders. Two different teams square off: Antwerp Diamonds and Brussels Tigers. Unfortunately only a recap of the game seems to be available online:




In Belgian Bowl XXVI the Brussels Tigers return to defend their title as national champs facing off against the Brussels Bulls:

SPA commercial with the Gators and Titans

The Gators and Titans worked together in a commercial for SPA sparkling water, here's the result:

Don't call it the national team! Treasure Cup 2013

The newest team in the FFL, the Ostend Pirates organized a small tournament at the end of the 2013 season to test their skills. The two other teams in the tournament were the Coudekerque Black Wolves and the Barbarians. The Barbarians team was made up of players selected after the season and they made for a good looking representation of what the best in the FFL has to offer.

Here's the tape of the day's games:

The Puurs Titans during the 2013 Senior Season

The Titans made the playoffs in 2013, too bad there's only one game tape to show off their exploits.

The victory against the Gators:

The Izegem Tribes during the 2013 Senior Season

The Tribes took a step backwards compared to the previous season, but this was clearly attributable to the founding of the Ostend Pirates. Even though they didn't produce a lot of wins, the new, younger core does seem to be capable of getting a better result in 2014.

The Bulls were too strong:

But against the Gators the young core managed to keep it much closer:
