London Footy Carnival a huge success!
It was a massive weekend of footy in London. The London Footy Carnival welcomed 4 women’s and 4 men’s teams with the AFL Canada Development sides the headline acts.
The Canada men’s side, the North Stars, played three matches in three days against the GB Bulldogs, the Wandsworth Demons Conference side and Welsh Representative side.
They improved with each game and ran away with a win in their final game on Sunday against the Welsh.
The Canadian women, the Midnight suns, played in a round-robin tournament against the GB Swans, Irish Banshees and London All-Stars. Three big days of footy saw the Suns, Swans and Banshees all level with 2-wins a piece.
The Irish Banshees were crowned winners having the greater percentage to claim the 2017 London Footy Carnival Champions trophy.
Special thanks to Lisa Wilson for an amazing amount of work making sure the London Footy Carnival was a success.

Odense break their player record
It was a big weekend for the Odense Lions who claimed their second victory for the season.
In bigger news, they had a record 22 plyers ready to play against their opponents, the Copenhagen Australian Football Club.
Despite only being allowed to field 18, the Lions rode of the back of this enthusiasm to claim a 72 to 47 victory.
Great to see such large numbers hit the track for the Lions in great news for the DAFL competition.
Kingdom Kangaroos break new ground
It was a historic weekend for the Kingdom Kangaroos in the SARFL competition. Since their inception in the competition back in 2013 the Kangaroos were yet to defeat Scottish footballing powerhouse, the Edinburgh Bloods. That all changed with a convincing four quarter effort giving the Roos a 96 to 51 victory.
The result leaves the SARFL title race wide open after 4 rounds meaning it is one of the closest season the Scots have seen in recent times.
