On Sunday 18th November the Craigavon Cowboys hosted a DV8s American Football Charity Tournament in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care in the People’s Park, Portadown. The first games kicked off at 11am and the final is scheduled for 3pm. The tournament featured 6 teams including 3 of the applicants for the new IAFL-1 division who got their first taste of competitive kitted football.
Each team played 3 shortened games using DV8s blitz format. The Belfast Trojans 2nds finished in first place with a 100% record. The North Kildare Reapers were the best of the new teams, finishing with a 50% record.
Craigavon Head Coach Greg Loughran said, “We are delighted to be able to raise some much needed funds for Marie Curie and this is a great opportunity for the Cowboys to play the sport we love while doing some good for our local community. All the money raised on the day is going towards a great cause.”
