Recap

Report

A Combination of Sub-Tropical Temperatures and six quarters of Football in the Semi-Finals earlier in the day for the Belfast Blitzers were blamed for their first loss of the season, in the the Jack Daniels Summer Bowl Final, in Dublin on the occasion of American Independence Day. The Celts won the Final 24-0 and in the process put all the attention on the upcoming League match between the two unbeaten teams.
