Away

The London Warriors (formerly the London Cobras)^[1] are an American football team based in Boston Manor, London. The team were formed in 2007 as the senior outfit for the London Warriors youth team, and currently play in the BAFA National Leagues (BAFANL) Premiership. The side have won the Britbowl final for three years running.

History

The London Warriors were formed in 2007 as a senior team of the successful London Warriors youth team, who had won the British Youth American Football Association the previous two years running.^[2][3] After being accepted by the British American Football League as Affiliate Members, they arranged to play the two friendly matches required under BAFL regulations.^[4] In October 2007, the Warriors played home and away games against two teams from the British Universities American Football League—the first game was played at home to the Royal Holloway Vikings and ended in a 54–0 victory. One week later, they travelled to play the Loughborough Aces and won again, this time 42–7.^[5]

After completing their obligations, the BAFL formally accepted the Warriors (the Cobras) application to join the league in December 2007, allowing them to compete as full members for the 2008 season.^[6] They were placed into the newly renamed London and South East Conference in Division Two, where they made a huge impact, going on to complete an undefeated season, culminating in victory over the Tamworth Phoenix at Britbowl XXII.

In August 2012, the London Warriors Youth Kitted Team won the National Championship.
