Bournemouth Bobcats Description
The Bournemouth Bobcats were the premier American Football team on the South Coast between 1986 and 1991. The Bobcats won the Budweiser Premier Bowl in 1987, and competed at the top level of the game in the UK from 1988 to 1991. At the end of 1991, the Bobcats folded and a new team, the Bournemouth Buccaneers arose in their place. The Bucs won the BNGL National Bowl in 1993. In 2009 the Bobcats were reformed by Tim Iles and by 2010 they entered the newly founded British American Football Association Community League (BAFCL) as association team where they played 5 games (2-3). They concluded their association year with a 38 – 0 win over the Plymouth Spirit and 34-12 away win over Bristol Apache and successfully qualified to enter the league in 2011
2012 saw the Bobcats re-enter the British leagues after 20 years with a new Head Coach, Derek Burridge. This was an excellence inaugural season that ended up with and exceptional 4 and 6 record with wins against 3 out of the 5 clubs in the division. The 2013, 2014 and 2015 season saw the Bobcats grow and put up wins against big teams lead by the powerhouse that is Tim Iles.

And that's the ball game!!!!
Bobcats win and move to 3-2 for the season!
A very close game against Swindon Storm finished 17-7 to the Bobcats. A passing score in each half, a 2pt conversion and a safety saw off a very tough Storm who played strong the whole game.

And that's the ball game!!!
Looking to get back to winnings ways after two very close games against the Blitz, the Bobcats put up a monster score of 51 points whilst also shutting out Swindon Storm!!
A slow start to the game saw Head Coach being uncharacteristicly loud and animated on sideline which seemed to fire up the Bobcats who stepped up in the second quarter and put the first points of the day on the board. This followed quickly by a safety bouyed the team and they wen...t on to score a further 7 TD's.
2 recievings TD's for Moreno, 1 for Edwards, and 1 for Gentile.
1 rushing TD for Baker and 1 for Ranger.
1 intercepted pass returned for a TD by Brooks.
1 week off for the Bobcats is followed by the away leg against Swindon.
Thank you to all who came to watch today!
Thank you to our game sponsors Brewhouse & Kitchen.
