Birmingham Lions

As of Monday evening, the league has given the originally cancelled game @BNU to Birmingham. This means that as of the beginning of March, the Lions are officially 8-0 and start preparing for a run all the way through the playoffs – to the college bowl in...

Birmingham was officially 6-0 heading into their last scheduled regular season match, due to the BNU match being called off due to the weather. The Lions have met the Wolves 3 times over the last two seasons so knew what they were about. The pitch looked in good condition considering the weather over the last few weeks; however it soon cut up– with the grass between the hashes turning to mud...

Valentines day lived up to all expectations this year, with the Lions getting all they wanted in the form of a regular season rematch against a well-drilled Hertfordshire Hurricanes team. Revenge was on Birmingham’s agenda on the back of their playoff defeat back in 2008. The Lions offence took to the field first but failed to put a big drive together against a strong Herts defence. On...

No doubt about it, for both teams involved this was massive game. The UWE Bullets and Birmingham Lions have a longstanding rivalry and for the first time clashed at the Filton WISE 3G where the Bullets are undefeated. The game lived up to all expectations and was a feisty, hard-fought battle right from the onset. The first offensive snap of the game went to the Lions and with it came the first...

The Lions started as they meant to go on against a first year Worcester side, with Sarunas Babonas breaking an inside run for a 33 yards with the first play of the game, after the Birmingham D set up the offense in good field position. With Birmingham’s next 3 drives, in the first quarter, Ben Brown caught two passes that resulted in touchdowns, along with veteran receiver John Zinkus...

The Lions went on the road for the first time this year with high hopes of moving to 3-0 following things starting to click offensively. Birmingham received the ball with the opening kick off, but the Lions offence didn’t even see it, Dan Conroy took the ball back to the house again, shrugging off multiple tacklers in the process. The Knights’ opening drive produced a couple of first downs,...

Come week 2, the Birmingham Lions were at home again to a physical, well-drilled Oxford Cavalier’s side. The lions won the toss and chose to receive, with the ensuing kick illegally going out of bounds – giving the Lions possession on the 40 – in good field position. On the first drive the Lions moved the ball nicely, with some accurate passing from Tristan Varney and some good,...
