 On Sunday May 23rd the Southern California Australian Football League (SCAFL) held their greatly anticipated Grand Final and third place playoff for their 2010 Metro season. After a grueling 9 week battle between the Beachside Sharks, LA Swans, Riverside, and OC Jets it was a rematch between the OC Jets and the Beachside Sharks for the SCAFL Premiership. The Sharks and Jets have developed a rivalry over the last 4 years which has been a defining factor in the significant rise in the quality of football in the SCAFL.
It was billed to be a tough, tight battle and this game did not disappoint the many spectators that turned up to witness arguably the best game of football in SCAFL history. After a grueling 4 quarter battle the Sharks, coached by John Fragomeni secured victory as the Sharks surged in the last quarter. The fate of the game was sealed, when injured forward Simon Sweeney dug deep a snapped a goal from half forward flank in the dying seconds of the game.

Two Atlanta players are approaching 100 lifetime goals in the Atlanta Australian Rules Football League. Ed Robinson and Wayne Kraska are both within reach of this major accomplishment.
Robinson leads the way with 95 goals (from 29 games) and Kraska is close behind with 92 goals (from 40).
Both players scored 5 goals last Saturday for their team The Downtown Dingoes and will be odds on to reach the century this season with a possible two games to go.
Also at stake is the season goal kicking race, with both players right behind current leader Curtis Jones. Jones leads with 17 goals, to Robinson's 16 and Kraska's 12. Be first to comment this article I Quote this article on your site I Views: 1109 |

In a end to the season that could only be described as controversial the Roswell Rebels won the 2008 Fall AARFL Premiership trophy with a final game draw that wasn't verified till hours later.
One of the closest competitions in AARFL history came down to the last game of the season. A win by either team would give them the trophy. Midtown, with the better percentage, trailed Roswell by a game and after easily beating Roswell in the previous two games,felt confident about their chances. But Roswell would not lie down. There was never more than a goal in it during the game, until Midtown went up by 3 goals late in the last quarter. Or so they thought. It turns out the score board did not match the official scoresheet Midtown dropped back into second gear allowing Roswell to kick a couple of goals, one of them Garofalo, after the final siren had sounded.

 On Saturday August 23 2008, the KC Demons faced the KC Tigers in the inaugural Kansas City Metro Grand Final. Having lost to the Tigers in the pre-season competition, the Grand Final provided some sweet revenge for the Red and Blues as they hung on in an epic to win by 9 points. Having tied in the final round of the regular season, some handy "ins" on both team sheets added great depth and firepower to the sides, and provided tipsters with plenty of headaches pre-game.
Once Umpire Kirkpatrick started proceedings it was the Demons who raced out of the blocks first setting up a handy first quarter lead. This was extended in the second, before the Big Cats clicked into gear and mounted a challenge after the main break. A couple of steadying majors from the Demons early in the final term saw them hang on and record a memorable victory. Working hard in the middle for them all day was Travis Kistler, who recieved plenty of support from Thias Amick and Ryan Richardson. For the runners-up it was the experienced Mark Scott and Brady Phillips, and rookies Carlos Santacruz and Travis Poytress that had their moments on the day.
Final scores:
KC Demons 10 - 10 - 70
KC Tigers 8 - 13 - 61. Be first to comment this article I Quote this article on your site I Views: 1330 |
