Carrickfergus Knights

Welcome to the home of The Carrickfergus Knights, Ireland's longest running American football club, founded in 1993. The Knights have been National Champions 3 times in '97, '98 and '02 and have contested the Championship game (The Shamrock Bowl), for 9 of the last 14 seasons. The Knights are from the town of Carrickfergus, 10 miles northeast of Belfast, in Northern Ireland.

                                  BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN

Spring may have already begun, yet there is another season just about to
start that stems from the bitter cold of winter. The Carrick Knights open
their 2010 campaign this coming Sunday, 14th of March, against divisional
opponents and next door neighbours, the Belfast Trojans.

It was around the same time last year that saw the fusion of both the
dwindling Knights and the folded Belfast Bulls teams, who had went 3-5 and
2-6 respectively in '08. After an opening day loss in 2009 to the Dublin
Rebels, they pulled together to forge a 6 and 2 win-loss record, earning a
playoff berth, only to end the year going down 20-0 to the eventual
champions Limerick Vikings.

The usual suspects still prowl the Knights' sideline. Quarterback #14 Adam
Devenney will command the offence behind the likes of veteran blockers Keith McBurney, Jake Andrews and the immense Cantley brothers. RB Chris Carson returns to tear up turf going downfield and wide out #86 Paul McKillop is always a threat on the receiving end of Devenney's passes. On D, the darkside, #90 Spencer McDowell captains, unleashing the likes of the
relentless Darren Montgomery and Conor Beckett on the line. Tackling
machines Mark Harris and Gareth Millar return hungrier than ever while #32
Cringdawg heads a vicious secondary.

With a host of rookies across the board eager to get in on the action, the
Knights have added depth to experience and will also compete in this years
DV8s league.

Carrickfergus Rugby Football Club, Woodburn is the venue for the season
opener against the Trojans. Kickoff is at 1pm. Bring a friend.

First off I would like to say thanks to all who took part in the competition and helped raised some money for YOUR team!

But unfortunately there could only be one winner and that was :

DE #4 Mark Hunter

With the combined score from the SAINTS and COLTS of 48 (31-17)

Thanks again everyone and well done Mark
