Brit Bowl

Brit Bowl

BritBowl is the championship game of the British American Football Association Community Leagues, and formerly the British American Football League (BAFL) in the United Kingdom. It is the most prestigious of the league's three bowl games that constitute BritBowl Weekend. Only teams in the Premier Division of BAFL are eligible to compete in BritBowl. The lower divisions have their own championship games.

To mark its 20th anniversary, Roman numerals were introduced to identify the game. The 2006 Championship became known as BritBowl XX. The previous nineteen championship games were redesignated as BritBowl I to BritBowl XIX respectively.

Since BritBowl XX the winning team has been presented with the Boston Trophy. The current champions are London Blitz, who defeated London Warriors 37-21 in BritBowl XXVI on 26 August 2012, recording their fourth consecutive BritBowl success in the process. BritBowl XXVI was a repeat of BritBowl XXV, with London Blitz also winning on that occasion.

It has been announced that the 2012 BritBowl will be held at Don Valley Stadium, Sheffield.

Famous quotes containing the word bowl:

    The bowl will ensnare and enchant
    men who crouch by the hearth
    till they want
    but the riot of stars in the night;
    those who dwell far inland
    will seek ships.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
