THE London Blitz American Football Club kick-off their season against local rivals the London Cobras on Sunday, writes Gerald Williamson.
The Finsbury Park-based side will be looking to continue their dominance from their 2009 season, which saw them regain both the BAFL Premier title and the National Championship.
It promises to be a tough first-day fixture for the Blitz, with the newly-promoted Cobras fielding an experienced side that includes former NFL players. It will be a huge season for the Blitz, who also begin their first ever foray in the European Federation of American Football Cup away at Amsterdam Crusaders on May 2.
They then play their second game in the competition against Les Cougars St Ouen l’Aumône at Finsbury Park on May 15.
