SENIORS FINISH FOURTH AT POST SUPER BOWL TOURNAMENT - 8th March 2008
On Saturday, the Carluke Cobras managed to once again host their Superbowl Saturday II Event
despite the very poor weather conditions.
The Venue was Lanark Racecourse.
Although the Broncos were involved in a few close games the Seniors finished second last.
Final Standings ... 1st Kirkcaldy Bulls (4-0), 2nd Dundee Storm (3-1), 3rd Carluke Cobras (2-2),
4th Grangemouth Broncos (1-3) and 5th Lanarkshire Steelers (0-4).
Broncos now realise that their competitors are getting stronger, new teams this year have to
be given respect and a small squad of players will make it difficult to seriously challenge the Bulls.

The Game Plan starring The Rock had its UK release last night (Friday).

Our Local Cinema offered the Broncos the chance to see the film for FREE.
The Falkirk Herald was there to capture the moment.
All the Broncos had to do was ... wear their American Football Shirts and hand out leaflets
(which advertised the American Football Film and promoted our Club).
On Friday @ 9:30pm (after distributing all their leaflets) 8 kids and 3 adults watched this comedy.

CINEWORLD OFFER BRONCOS CHANCE TO RECRUIT AND SEE GAMEPLAN - 7th March 2008

THE GAME PLAN DUE FOR UK CINEMA RELEASE THIS MONTH - 7th March 2008
NFL quarterback, Joe Kingman (The Rock) had the perfect Game Plan to win the Championship
but first he has to tackle one little problem ... an 8-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.

BRONCOS ARE ONE OF THE BEST SCOTTISH TEAMS OVER LAST SEVEN YEARS
I had spare time on my hands so I decided to go back in SFFA History and record who had won what to
see who was the most consistent / successful Cadet, Junior, Youth and Senior team since I started
recording information.
As a bit of fun I then decided to award 4pts for the Scottish Champions, 3pts for Runners-Up,
2pts for finishing in 3rd Place and 1pt for finishing in 4th Place.
In addition to this I gave each Conference winner an extra 1pt for their achievement.
Teams underlined won their Conference / League.
By using this formula it indicated that based on only the SFFA League (excluding Bowls)
the following teams were the most consistent / successful at the following levels over the last 7 years ...
Cadet - (1st) Broncos and (2nd) Tigers.
Junior - (1st) Predators and (2nd) Broncos.
Youth - (1st) Rockets and (2nd) Broncos.
Seniors - (1st) Bulls and (2nd) Broncos.
Obviously as author I could manipulate stats to show you what I want you to see but it makes
interesting reading none the less.

So far the Cobras, Storm, Hornets and Broncos have all expressed an interest.
The Bulls are looking to obtain definites from BAFA teams so that they can plan accordingly.
One European team has confirmed and await responses from another three.
The Bulls Event is open to teams as long as they are BAFA registered in some format.
Teams should be able to play both days otherwise it will mess up the format.
If no teams can manage to attend both days ... it might end up being two separate days of competition.
When replying please specify what dates available.
