Brit Bowl 20

This Sunday was the British American football finals held at Don Valley stadium in Sheffield. I went up on the Sunday to watch the Divison 2 and 1 finals. I must say the whole day was fantastic, and very professional a real showpiece and advert for the sport in this country. A long time ago i was lucky to go to the superbowl in Atlanta and whilst the BAFL have a way to go in catching the NFL in showmanship they can truely hold there heads up high.

Both games were excellent, finishing very close with The Oxford Saints beating the West coast Trojans in the Div 2 final and the London Olympians beating the London Blitz for the Britbowl trophy.

The picture here is of Antonio Fargas who most people will know as Huggy Bear from Starsky and Hutch although he was also recently in, I'm a celebrity get me out of here. Apparently his son plays for the Raiders in the NFL. He was sitting two seats in fromt of me for the Div 1 game and was introduced to the crowd at half time. Aplogies for the picture quality as it was taken on my new phone, not too bad for a phone but not up to work standards.
